Les Affaires quotes Quebec City lawyer Kateri-Anne Grenier in an article on personal data.
Bills 25, which modernizes the protection of personal information of Quebecers, reaffirms the importance of better hygiene and confidentiality of its database, both for customers and employees, says Kateri-Anne Grenier, partner at the law firm Fasken. However, if the new law creates an offence when information is kept beyond the permitted period, it does not “set a retention schedule”, warns the lawyer. Each company must therefore determine how long it must keep this information.
