Shared Definitions

These definitions apply across every document in this pack. They are written in plain language and are intended to map to the statutory concepts under PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, and the Alberta and British Columbia Personal Information Protection Acts. The split between De-identified and Anonymized Data is deliberate and tracks Law 25's distinction.
