Alberta replaces 1995 privacy laws with strict new data protections, banning data sales and imposing heavy fines.
Alberta’s Minister of Government Services Nate Glubish defends his digital governance record amid a recall petition, stating that outdated 1995 privacy laws have been replaced with two new acts—the Protection of Privacy Act and the Access to Information Act—establishing some of Canada’s strictest data protections.
The reforms mandate privacy impact assessments, require privacy management programs, ban the sale of personal data, and impose fines up to $1 million for organizations and $200,000 for individuals violating data rules.
Glubish asserts these measures ensure innovation and privacy go hand in hand, providing robust safeguards for Albertans’ information.
