On September 22, 2021, the Quebec National Assembly adopted a new privacy law, known as Bill 64. This new law affects the way businesses collect, use, disclose and store personal information. 

Although the law was passed in Quebec, it also applies to any private businesses outside of the province that has clients based in Quebec.

Businesses applicable to Bill 64 will have a span of three years to conform, with the first set of requirements becoming effective after the date of assent. This means businesses must establish a plan to achieve compliance to ensure that their privacy program reaches maturity on or before September 22, 2024.

Join us in this webinar to get a better understanding of the requirements of Bill 64 and have a better vision of the next steps to achieve compliance.
