Most professionals and corporations are familiar with GDPR and CCPA, but Canada’s data privacy law differs in that individuals are permitted to access and amend personal information from companies. This right has exposed various data privacy breaches from large organizations like Tim Hortons and Home Depot. So what can companies learn from these mistakes?

Data privacy infringements occur when businesses mislead their customers about how they’re utilizing personal information for various services.
