Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) Contributions Program:
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) has launched its 2026-2027 Contributions Program funding cycle with a call for proposals under the theme “Achievement unlocked: protecting privacy while online gaming.”
Gaming is an integral part of the entertainment landscape with nearly half of Canadian adults and 70% of Canadian teens regularly playing games online. To learn more about the privacy implications of gaming on individuals, the OPC is seeking proposals for projects that will advance knowledge related to the collection and use of personal data in the online gaming sphere.
The objectives of the Program are:
To capitalize on existing research capacity in academic, not-for-profit and other sectors to generate new knowledge and support the development of expertise in selected areas of privacy and data protection.
To increase awareness and understanding among individuals and organizations of their privacy rights and obligations.
