According to a recent survey, 65% of general counsel see data privacy and protection as a top legal risk to their organization. The digital revolution has created a series of new questions regarding privacy, consent, and data protection. Canada and the United States have vastly different approaches to privacy law, some apparent and some less so. How can businesses operating between these two nations comply with the laws of each and keep pace with a rapidly evolving area of law? Our Dentons US and Canada Privacy Cheat Sheet provides a quick comparison of current and proposed privacy laws. This document will be updated regularly to reflect the changing privacy landscape. 

This cheat sheet is not comprehensive and is meant as a general reference guide. Information may change as the privacy laws change in Canada and the US. This guide does not constitute legal or professional advice or opinion. If you have any questions, please reach out to Peter Stockburger or Kirsten Thompson for further guidance.
