Law 25: Quebec’s New Standard For Privacy
Data privacy is a sensitive subject. But it doesn’t have to be hard. Mindsec helps your firm attain peace of mind by ensuring compliance with Quebec’s Law 25.
What Is Law 25?
Law 25 overhauls Quebec’s privacy framework with new guidelines for handling consumer data and applies to anyone doing business in Quebec or handling the information of Quebec residents.
What is Law 25?
Law 25 (Bill 64) is a breakthrough privacy law that protects Québec residents’ data. It requires province-based firms to improve data privacy, openness, and accountability. The law sets progressive compliance deadlines with fines of $25 million or 4% of a company’s global sales for noncompliance.
Understanding and following Quebec Law 25 is crucial for businesses handling consumer, employee, and partner data in Québec.
Personal data security is crucial in the digital age. Quebec’s Law 25 (formerly Bill 64) requires enterprises to preserve and responsibly manage personal data. Law 25 compliance solutions from Mindsec automate and streamline operations to help firms comply with the law.
These include:
- The need to disclose and request user consent before collecting their data
- The obligation to notify affected individuals in case of data breaches
- Penal fines up to $25M (or 4% of yearly worldwide turnover, whichever is higher) for non-compliant companies.
- Administrative penalties up to $10 million (or 2% of yearly worldwide turnover, whichever is higher) for non-compliant companies
