The Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector (colloquially known as ‘Quebec Private Privacy Act’) regulates the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by private organizations in Quebec.
Enacted on 22 September 2021, Quebec Law 25, An Act to modernize legislative provisions regarding the protection of personal information (Law 25), brought major reforms to the Quebec Private Privacy Act. The amendments introduced by Law 25 came into effect in phases, with the last significant set of provisions coming into force on 22 September 2023. The only amendment yet to come into force relates to the right to data portability, which will become effective on 22 September 2024.
The Quebec Private Privacy Act is enforced by the Commission de l'accès à l'information ("Commission").
