EL&U is more a place for asking questions that require the expertise of a linguist, etymologist, or serious language enthusiast – phonetics questions such as why we pronounce a word a particular way, or how a pronunciation rule developed. "How to pronounce this word" questions usually won't require expertise. They are also liable to be closed as "general reference" if the word is in a dictionary, or as "too localized" if not in a dictionary. english.stackexchange.com/faq– MetaEdCommented Jan 23, 2012 at 23:04

You can pronounce it either pip-EE-duh (University of Guelph) or PIP-eh-duh (Andrew D. Taylor, CGA). Not all acronyms have set-in-stone pronunciations.
The University of Guelph informs that PIPEDA is pronounced as /pip'ee-da/
Please check The University of Guelph’s web site
