Quebec Law 25

Quebec's Law 25 privacy-law reform, with consent, transparency, portability, and enforcement provisions phased in from 2022 through 2024.

Full definition

Law 25 (formerly Bill 64) is Quebec's modernized public- and private-sector privacy-law reform, phased in from 2022 through 2024. It includes rules on consent, privacy officers, privacy impact assessments, breach reporting, and data portability, and the Commission d'accès à l'information says administrative monetary penalties can reach CAD $10 million or 2% of worldwide turnover in the applicable circumstances. Quebec's law is one of the substantially similar provincial regimes recognised for certain intraprovincial activity; identify the applicable statute and route from the facts rather than ranking Canadian regimes.
