The Interview Consent Agreement is a critical document used across various sectors in Canada where formal interviews are conducted for research, commercial, or investigative purposes. This agreement is essential for ensuring compliance with Canadian privacy laws, particularly PIPEDA and provincial privacy legislation, while also adhering to research ethics guidelines where applicable. It should be used whenever conducting structured interviews where personal information will be collected, recorded, or stored. The document typically includes comprehensive details about data protection, usage rights, confidentiality obligations, and participant rights, making it suitable for academic research, market research, journalism, employment interviews, and other professional contexts. The agreement serves both as a legal protection mechanism and as a transparent communication tool between all parties involved in the interview process.
