What Are the Implications of PIPEDA for Data Sharing in Epidemiology?
Epidemiological research often involves collaborations between different organizations, including academic institutions, governmental agencies, and private sector companies. PIPEDA requires that any sharing of personal information be done with the individual's consent and for purposes that are consistent with those for which the data was originally collected. Researchers must be transparent about data sharing practices and ensure that all parties involved adhere to PIPEDA’s guidelines.
