The Data Transfer Addendum serves as a crucial supplement to existing service agreements where personal information transfer is involved under Canadian jurisdiction. It becomes necessary when organizations share, process, or transfer personal information between parties, whether domestically or internationally. The document ensures compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and relevant provincial privacy laws, including specific requirements from provinces like Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia. This addendum is particularly vital given Canada's comprehensive privacy framework and the need to maintain adequate safeguards for personal information transfers. It should be implemented whenever there is a new data sharing arrangement or when existing arrangements need to be updated to reflect current privacy law requirements.
