Quebec's Law 25
Quebec trade rule for lawyers and notaries, applicable throughout Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
The rule
contract, assessment and automated decision: A firm collects only what is necessary (art. 5) and informs the person of the purposes and of their rights (art. 8). Entrusting information to a provider requires a written contract that provides for confidentiality measures (art. 18.3); a new system that involves personal information requires a privacy impact assessment (évaluation des facteurs relatifs à la vie privée) (art. 3.3), and so does a communication outside Quebec (art. 17). If the agent alone refuses a request, for example one outside your areas of practice, article 12.1 requires informing the person and allowing them to speak to someone at the firm.
