- Do not assume a public web page's personal information falls outside PIPEDA merely because it was publicly accessible; the no-consent carve-out applies only to information specified as publicly available by regulation.
- Apply PIPEDA's purpose-limitation and accountability obligations to personal information collected by crawling, the same as personal information collected any other way.
