THE PATRIOT ACT affects all Canadian Marketers. Beware! [VIDEO 27m14s]

The USA PATRIOT ACT facilitates, among other things, the ability of U.S. authorities to conduct searches and to seize or compel the disclosure of records, which could risk the security of that data and a possible breach of Canadian private sector privacy legislation. According to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, a company in Canada that outsources information processing to the United States, should notify its customers that the information may be made available to the U.S. government or its agencies under a lawful order made in that country.
