What is an obligation of salespersons under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)?

Information can be stored unsecured if it is not in a business location
Only factual property details must be secured
Personal information must be secured whether in electronic or print form
The brokerage is responsible for securing all information

The correct answer is: Personal information must be secured whether in electronic or print form

Under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), salespersons have an obligation to ensure that personal information is secured whether it is in electronic or print form. This means that regardless of the format in which personal information is stored, it must be protected to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure. This responsibility emphasizes the importance of maintaining the confidentiality and security of clients' personal information, ensuring their privacy is respected and safeguarded. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the obligations of salespersons under PIPEDA. Storing information unsecured, limiting the information that needs to be secured, or assuming the brokerage is solely responsible for securing information are not in line with the requirements set out by PIPEDA.
