The OECD Guidelines represented an international effort to balance effective privacy protection with the free flow of personal data between different countries.27 The OECD Guidelines included eight principles: collection limitation, data quality, purpose specification, use limitation, security safeguards, openness, individual participation and accountability. In 1984, Canada committed itself to privacy protection by signing on to these internationally recognized guidelines. In 1995, the European Union (EU) issued a directive on data protection called the European Union Data Protection Directive (also known as EC.95.46). The EC.95.46 was adopted by the EU to protect the personal data collected for or about citizens of the EU.28 The Directive was based on the 1980 OECD Guidelines. The Directive effectively prohibited the trade by EU member nations with any jurisdiction that did not have adequate privacy protection. This put pressure on the international community to have adequate privacy protections in place or risk trading opportunities with the EU. These early guidelines (OECD Guidelines and EC.95.46) and Canada’s commitment to them formed the basis for the development of the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information (Model Code) in 1995. The Model Code was intended to be a voluntary tool to assist private businesses and organizations with managing the personal information of Canadians. When it was issued, it contained 10 principles that were referred to 27 Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data.
