Organizations considered to be public bodies, as well as the public sector, must comply with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). FIPPA requires that public bodies store any personal information that is under its control or custody exclusively in Canada and it can only be accessed in Canada.

Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) works in conjunction with PIPEDA.
