What Manitoba asks of a business online
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA
- Under Canadian competition law, it is against the law to make materially false or misleading representations to promote a product, service or business interest, and the law also prohibits the unauthorized use or distortion of tests and testimonials. Competition Bureau
