Using the theories of procedural justice\/fairness, expected utility, and prior literature on personal privacy the purpose of this study is to use the survey method to measure consumer willingness to purchase RFID\u2010tagged product items within the Canadian context. Procedural justice\/fairness is operationalized using the implementation of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) enacted in Canada on January 1, 2004.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study used the survey questionnaire method after the sample participants (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>=381) were exposed to an experimental treatment.
