DataGuidance « Québec – Data Protection Overview | Guidance Note » to outline Québec’s legal framework in terms of personal information protection

Langlois lawyers and partners Cynthia Chassigneux and Caroline Deschênes, who both have a special interest in personal information protection, contributed to the DataGuidance « Québec – Data Protection Overview | Guidance Note » to outline Québec’s legal framework in terms of personal information protection.

Québec’s data protection legislation is based on a number of federal and provincial laws. These include legislation to protect general-purpose data held by private and public organizations, as well as regulation applicable to particular sectors or linked to spam. The Guidance Note was drafted to take into consideration significant changes, which will be introduced with proposed Bill 64.
