Law 25
Protection of Personal Information
As of September 22nd 2022, Law 25 concerning the protection of personal information will gradually come into effect over a period of 3 years. This law affects the standards of practice of health professionals, including psychologists.
As a psychologist and self-employed worker, I will now have the following responsibilities within my private clinic:
Apply Law 25 on the protection of personal information.
Respond to requests relating to personal information (e.g., access, correction).
Establish the rules of governance relating to personal information.
Keep records of the communication of personal information.
Notify the Commission d’accès à l’information of any breach in confidentiality involving personal information.
Keep a record of confidentiality breaches involving personal information.
