Workshop Intro:

Co-ops deal with a lot of personal information about members. BC’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) includes very specific rules about how this information can, and can’t be used, as well as who should have access to it. Don’t let a privacy complaint be the first time you learn about your obligations under PIPA.
