Disclaimer: I am not a Privacy Lawyer, I am basing what I wrote here on the text of IAPP. I was looking for a reviewed PIPEDA adequacy decision. I saw references about it coming in 2020, then 2021, then 2022. Can't really find anything specific.

RE: 1

I am looking at this document: https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/stat...

I assume this is up-to-date.

I will take one example: the Right to be forgotten. I don't see provision that satisfies the right to be forgotten: https://gdpr.eu/right-to-be-forgotten/

You seem to have a more in-depth understanding of PIPA. Can you point me towards a similar requirement in PIPA?

Looking at C-27, it appears that even PIPEDA is playing catch-up. But that was CPPA.

Btw. I am not suggesting Adequacy is always decided on privacy laws being EXACTLY like GDPR. Given the only reference to adequacy I found thus far was based on a 2001 review, I am not sure what would be appropriate criteria here beyond access to "an appropriate" level of legal protection.

The text in IAPP article refers to the adequacy of PIPEDA. Not Canada. It is actually interesting that there is no adequacy with Canada, but only with Canadian PIPEDA.

RE 2:

Right, I was referring to the fact that customers of Fathom sign contract/get into agreement with a company in British Columbia under its laws. It is mostly irrelevant where their CTO resides (it would be relevant if you resided in a non-adequate country, as your privacy policy would have to account for relevant data transfers).
