It introduced mandatory breach reporting, privacy-by-default, consent rules, and transparency around automated decision-making. Its requirements phased in through 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Law 25 requires organizations to appoint a person responsible for privacy, run privacy impact assessments for certain projects, and report confidentiality incidents that pose a risk of serious injury to the regulator (the CAI) and affected individuals.
Section 12.1 requires meaningful disclosure when a decision is based exclusively on automated processing, which directly affects AI products. Penal fines can reach 25 million CAD or 4 percent of worldwide turnover, with administrative monetary penalties capped at 10 million CAD or 2 percent.

Yes, if you handle personal information of people in Quebec. Establishment is not the test.
Law 25 is more prescriptive and carries significantly heavier penalties, plus a private right of action. Where both apply, meeting Law 25 generally covers the PIPEDA baseline.
