Answer options

• B. The Quebec Act.
• C. British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).
• D. Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) provides clear guidelines on how personal information should be managed, particularly in relation to employees. The other options, while related to privacy, do not specifically address the distinction between personal and employee-related information.
