About MyData101

MyData101.ca is the official online learning centre for MyWaypoint Technologies Inc., a Canadian technology company focused on practical, privacy-first data solutions.

Our mission is simple: make data literacy accessible to everyone. Whether you are a student, a small business owner, a government employee, or simply a curious person who wants to understand the data-driven world around you, MyData101 is for you.

What We Teach

MyData101 covers the full spectrum of data literacy:

• Data fundamentals — what data is, how it is structured, and how it works
• Data quality — what makes data good and how to fix it when it is not
• Open data — what it is, where to find it in Canada, and how to use it responsibly
• GIS and mapping — geographic data, coordinates, projections, and spatial analysis
• Privacy — personal information, consent, PIPEDA, and privacy by design
• Data governance — policies, ownership, stewardship, and compliance
• Metadata — what it is, why it matters, and how to manage it

Our Approach

We explain concepts in plain language, using real-world examples that people encounter every day: spreadsheets, addresses, customer lists, maps, municipal data, and business reports. No academic jargon. No prerequisites. Just clear, practical explanations.

All content is free. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no quizzes, no certificates, and no subscriptions. This is a public learning resource, not a learning management system.

Privacy First

We practice what we teach. MyData101 uses no cookies, no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no third-party scripts. Your learning is your own. See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for details.
