canada-pipeda is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ThomasMoreAI/legal-skills-open. It costs 92 tokens per session (2,514 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to PIPEDA, Canada's federal privacy law for personal information used in commercial activities. It covers consent, handling data across borders, privacy principles, and reporting certain breaches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review privacy practices, consent flows, cross-border data transfers, breach response, and employee-data situations covered by the law.
Why use it?
Organizations can mishandle personal information or miss legal duties when collecting, using, sharing, or losing it. This provides a starting point for checking those responsibilities and the role of Canada's privacy regulator.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

canada-pipeda scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Canada PIPEDA Compliance

Overview

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA, S.C. 2000, c. 5) is Canada's federal private-sector privacy law. It applies to organizations that collect, use, or disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities, and to personal information about employees of federal works, undertakings, and businesses. PIPEDA incorporates the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information (CAN/CSA-Q830-96) as Schedule 1, establishing 10 fair information principles.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) oversees PIPEDA compliance, investigates complaints, conducts audits, and publishes findings and guidance. The Digital Privacy Act (S.C. 2015, c. 32) amended PIPEDA to add mandatory breach reporting, valid consent requirements, and enhanced enforcement provisions.

Note: PIPEDA does not apply in provinces that have enacted substantially similar legislation (Alberta PIPA, British Columbia PIPA, Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector). However, PIPEDA continues to apply to interprovincial and international transfers of personal information in all provinces and to federally regulated organizations.

The 10 Fair Information Principles (Schedule 1)

Principle 1 — Accountability (Clause 4.1)

An organization is responsible for personal information under its control. It must designate an individual or individuals who are accountable for compliance with the principles. Accountability remains with the organization even when personal information is transferred to a third party for processing.

Key requirements:

  • Designate a privacy officer or chief privacy officer
  • Implement policies and practices to give effect to the principles
  • Establish complaint-handling procedures
  • Train staff on privacy obligations
  • Develop information to explain the organization's policies and procedures

Principle 2 — Identifying Purposes (Clause 4.2)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
