What Does Law 25 Mean for Enterprise?
Quebec’s Law 25 introduces significant obligations around consent, transparency, privacy governance, and individual rights. Organizations must obtain valid consent for many data processing activities, support access and correction requests, conduct privacy impact assessments in certain circumstances, and implement safeguards for cross-border data transfers.
For enterprises, those requirements extend beyond policy and legal interpretation. Consent and preference data is often distributed across multiple systems, making it difficult to apply individual choices consistently. Organizations must ensure consent signals, withdrawal requests, and privacy preferences are collected, connected, and honored across marketing, CRM, analytics, customer service, and third-party environments.
As Law 25 continues to reshape privacy expectations in Quebec, organizations need an operational foundation capable of supporting compliance at scale while adapting to evolving regulatory and customer requirements.
