The Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector, CQLR P-39.1 (colloquially known as ‘Quebec Private Privacy Act’ or ‘Quebec’s Law 25’) regulates the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by private organizations.
The Quebec Privacy Act was recently majorly updated by Bill 64, An Act to modernize legislative provisions regarding the protection of personal information. The amendment was enacted on September 22, 2021, and is set to take effect, in full, by 2024. In the meantime, the amendment will roll out some parts of provisions set under the law, such as Privacy Impact Assessment, privacy by default, and extra-provincial data transfer by 2023 and some of the amendments have taken effect since September 2022.
The Quebec Privacy Act applies to private sectors collecting, using, or disclosing the personal information of a consumer (data subject) within the province. The amendment authorizes Commission de l'accès à l'information ("Commission") to enforce the amendments. The Quebec Privacy Act applies to personal information kept by an organization or received by them through a third-party agency.

Here are some critical data subject rights that are guaranteed under the various statutes of the Quebec Privacy Act:
Right to be Informed : Data subjects shall have the right to be informed about the purpose of collecting their personal information, processing, retention period, cross-border data transfers, and the contact information of the person protecting the personal information of the data subject.
Right to Access : Data subjects shall have the right to request a business to access the personal information collected, used, and disclosed.
Right to Rectification and Deletion : If a data subject believes the personal information to be equivocal, inaccurate, or incomplete, they may require the information to be rectified. The data controller must also provide a copy of the rectified information to the data subject and attest to the deletion of information (as the case may be).
Right to Deindexation and Re-indexation : The Quebec Privacy Act provides individuals with the right to require cessation of dissemination or de-indexing if the dissemination contravenes the law or court order, where certain conditions are met. It also provides individuals with the right to require re-indexation in the same circumstances where a person may require cessation of dissemination or de-indexing of hyperlinks.
Right to Data Portability : Data subjects shall request an organization transfer their personal information in a structured and commonly-used technological format.
Provisions associated with consent will likely take effect by September 2023. Under the Quebec Privacy Act, consent should be taken at the time of collecting personal information. Moreover, organizations must inform data subjects about the purpose of collecting the information, means of collection, and the associate data subjects' rights.
Express consent must be taken before using sensitive data.
Organizations must conduct Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) when upgrading and adding new technologies to their infrastructure or when transferring personal information outside Quebec.
By September 2023, organizations will be required to publish privacy notices and policies on their websites, detailing how they govern the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information and the process detailing how consumers can file complaints or exercise their rights.
The law doesn't define any exact breach notification period. Still, it does outline some other requirements, such as an organization must keep a register or a log containing all the breaches.
By September 2022, organizations will be required to designate a Data Privacy Officer (DPO) and publish their name, title, and contact information on the company's website.
If an organization fails to comply with the Quebec Privacy Act, CAI may fine the organization up to 25 million or 4% of its revenue.
