In our digital era where websites abound, the protection of personal information has become a burning issue. Enter Law 25, ready to enforce user data confidentiality on the web. This law imposes strict rules on online businesses. And starting from September 2024 (sept24!), users will have the right to access all their Personal Information (PI) you hold, presented in an easily understandable format. Let’s delve into this law and discover its formidable power in safeguarding our online information.
In a few words: It’s a giant step towards protecting our Personal Information (PI). Thanks to this new law, Quebec moves closer to the European Union by regulating:
- Data collection by companies
- Management of personal information within organizations
- User rights related to their data
User Rights
Bill 25 ushers in a new reality: online users are now the kings of data confidentiality. They hold absolute power to consent with full knowledge. No more shady tactics or ambiguous clauses for surreptitious data collection. Users demand full transparency and the right to control their information as they see fit. The bill compels organizations to take serious responsibility towards their users, implement foolproof security measures, and train their teams to scrupulously respect user’s rights.
Sanctions for Non-Compliance
Careless websites risk being hit hard with devastating fines. It’s crucial to take it seriously, reinforce security measures, and meticulously uphold user rights. Otherwise, the consequences for your company could be severe. Law 25 is the shield protecting users’ privacy.
Your 2023 To-Do List, Law 25 Edition:
