When considering the use of personal information on a mailing list, which requirement is NOT covered by PIPEDA?

The individual providing the information understood its purpose and consented to its use.
Assuming safe storage, the salesperson can keep the information indefinitely upon receiving appropriate consent.
The individual must have the ability to withdraw consent at any time.
The individual can request to review and amend the stored personal information.
Personal data must be disposed of securely once it is no longer needed.
The purpose of collection must be clearly communicated to the individual.

The correct answer is: Assuming safe storage, the salesperson can keep the information indefinitely upon receiving appropriate consent.

PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) mandates that personal information should be stored and managed securely, with limitations on the retention of personal data. Under PIPEDA, businesses should only retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. The incorrect option, B, suggests that a salesperson can keep the information indefinitely upon receiving consent, which goes against the principle of limiting the retention of personal information. Storing personal information indefinitely without a valid purpose violates PIPEDA’s requirements on data retention and the principle of data minimization.
