What the laws require

Two federal laws, one checklist.

Tick what your site already does. Be honest, nobody’s watching.

General information, not legal advice. Provincial rules (Alberta, BC, Ontario, Québec) layer on top, and the scan’s provincial checks outside Québec are still being built. A scan always lists what it didn’t check.

What’s at stake

The numbers, straight from the statutes.

$10M

per violation, for a business

Maximum anti-spam penalty. One marketing message sent without proper consent is a violation. $1M for an individual.

Source: CASL, s. 20(4)

$100K

per offence

Knowingly failing to report or record a breach, or obstructing the Privacy Commissioner.

Source: PIPEDA, s. 28

Personal

liability for directors

People who run the business can be personally liable, and the business answers for messages its staff or agencies send.

Source: CASL, ss. 31 and 53

By name

privacy findings are public

The Privacy Commissioner investigates and publishes its findings. The Federal Court can award damages after a finding.

Source: PIPEDA, ss. 16 and 20(2)

10 days

to honour an unsubscribe

Business days. Every message sent after the deadline counts as a violation.

Source: CASL, s. 11(3)

Per address

consent is proven one by one

You must prove consent for each recipient, with dates and the wording shown. Without records, due diligence isn’t a defence.

Source: CASL, s. 13

Statutory maximums, not predictions. Not legal advice.

How we fix it

Scan, rebuild, approve, stay compliant.

On any plan. We move your existing site for free. Nothing goes live until you approve it.

Scan

Every page, form, tracker and sign-up box, with a plain-language readout.

Rebuild

Consent beside every form, and a privacy policy that matches what you collect. In the code, not a widget.

Approve

Preview every change. Approve by text or in your dashboard.

Maintain

Consents logged, unsubscribes applied right away, a 30-day clock on requests, and a breach log.

Ready for your approvalAdd a separate, unticked newsletter box to your reservation form.
Sovereign Vault

Your customer data stays in Canada.

Handled for you

Requests to see or delete data are logged, actioned and recorded. Old data clears on schedule.

Stays put

Servers, keys and operators in Canada, with immutable audit logs. No cross-border assessment needed.

Nothing to migrate

No re-platforming, no IT project. Keep your tools; Nestor runs the compliance layer underneath.

Questions

Good questions.

No. The scan and this page are general information. They aren’t a legal opinion or a compliance certification.
