The BC ''PIPA'' is an attempt by the province to maintain jurisdiction over the regulation of private business, historically under the Province's control. The purpose of this Act is to govern the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by '''private''' organizations. The Act has been in force since 2004 and has been declared substantially similar by the Governor-in-Council, thereby exempting PIPA-Applicable organizations in  British Columbia to which ''PIPA'' applies from application of the federal ''PIPEDA''.
