Professional secrecy and AI tools
Quebec trade rule for lawyers and notaries.
The rule
Lawyers ensure the confidentiality of all information concerning a client's affairs (Code of ethics of lawyers, Code de déontologie des avocats, art. 60); notaries are bound by professional secrecy (Code of ethics of notaries, Code de déontologie des notaires, art. 35). According to the guide of the Barreau du Québec (the Quebec Bar), the mere act of entering protected information into an open, publicly accessible AI system constitutes a violation. Ask any provider where conversations go and whether they are used to train a model: at ZeniTech, your data is not used to train any third-party model.
Information about Quebec rules, not legal advice. Check with your professional order, advisor or the official source.
