Since its adoption, Bill 25 has imposed new obligations on Quebec businesses regarding the protection of personal information. This major reform is part of a global movement to strengthen privacy protections, inspired notably by the European GDPR. But what does this actually mean for your business? And how can you comply effectively, without complicating your operations?<\/p>\n
Adopted in September 2021, Bill 25 modernizes Quebec\u2019s Private Sector Privacy Act. Its goal is to better regulate the collection, use, and retention of personal data.<\/p>\n
The implementation is taking place in several phases, with a final deadline set for September 2025. Ultimately, all organizations will be required to comply with a strict framework regarding information governance, transparency, and the management of data subject rights.<\/p>\n
Any company\u2014regardless of its size\u2014that collects or processes personal information about Quebec residents is affected. This includes:<\/p>\n
Even companies outside Quebec can be impacted, as long as they target Quebec customers.<\/p>\n
Each organization must officially appoint a person responsible for ensuring compliance with Bill 25. Their contact information must be made publicly available.<\/p>\n
A simple form is no longer enough: consent must be free, informed, and given for specific purposes.<\/p>\n
Any situation involving a risk to personal information (such as a breach or unauthorized access) must be documented and potentially reported to the Commission d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019information (CAI).<\/p>\n
Individuals now have the right to access, correct, delete, and even port their data.<\/p>\n
While the principles of Bill 25 are clear, their day-to-day application can quickly become complex: centralizing information, managing requests, retaining proof of consent, documenting incidents\u2026<\/p>\n
