[Verse 1]
Data flows across the borders every single day
Companies collecting what we do and what we say
But there's a storm approaching that we need to understand
Quantum computers threaten every privacy plan
PIPEDA and CCPA were built for yesterday's world
Now harvest-now-decrypt-later has unfurled
What seems secure today might crumble overnight
When quantum power breaks encryption's protective might
[Chorus]
Reasonable security must evolve with time
PQC readiness climbing up the line
Data retention needs a quantum clock
Cross-border transfers facing crypto shock
P-I-P-E-D-A, C-C-P-A
Quantum implications changing the way
We protect and store what people say
[Verse 2]
Your customer data sitting in the cloud today
Might be harvested by actors far away
They can't decrypt it now but they will store and wait
Until quantum computing seals your data's fate
Retention policies that used to span for years
Need quantum timeline thinking to address our fears
What's five years when a quantum breakthrough's near
The regulatory landscape must be crystal clear
[Chorus]
Reasonable security must evolve with time
PQC readiness climbing up the line
Data retention needs a quantum clock
Cross-border transfers facing crypto shock
P-I-P-E-D-A, C-C-P-A
Quantum implications changing the way
We protect and store what people say
[Bridge]
Post-quantum crypto isn't optional anymore
It's the foundation of tomorrow's legal core
Compliance officers better start today
Before quantum computing takes the keys away
[Verse 3]
When regulations say "reasonable care"
They mean the threats that currently are there
But quantum changes what reasonable means
The strongest locks won't stop these new machines
International transfers amplify the risk
Every border crossing makes the threat more brisk
What crosses once might be stored for decades long
Until quantum makes today's encryption wrong
[Chorus]
Reasonable security must evolve with time
PQC readiness climbing up the line
Data retention needs a quantum clock
Cross-border transfers facing crypto shock
P-I-P-E-D-A, C-C-P-A
Quantum implications changing the way
We protect and store what people say
[Outro]
The quantum age is coming fast
Privacy laws must evolve to last
Reasonable security redefined
For the quantum future we will find
