[edit] Opening paragraph

Hi,

The first line "...group of data protection directives that limit trade with nations not providing privacy protection equivalent to the EU directives.." is not accurate. While PIPEDA was passed partially in response to EU legislation, that is/was not the primary motivation of the legislation.

From the Industry Canada website:

"The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is a new law that protects personal information in the hands of private sector organizations and provides guidelines for the collection, use and disclosure of that information in the course of commercial activity."

I will try and re-write the first paragraph to reflect this.
