This is a scoping aid, not legal advice. Privacy laws turn on specific facts about your business, your data flows, and your role as controller or processor. The mappings here reflect how these laws commonly apply, but only a qualified privacy professional or lawyer can confirm your exact obligations. Thresholds, exemptions, and enforcement change over time. Use this to understand your likely landscape and to scope the work, then validate it before you rely on it.

Questions

How is this different from legal advice?

It is not legal advice. It maps your answers to the privacy laws that commonly apply based on where your users are and what data you handle. Use it to understand your likely obligations and to scope work with a privacy professional or counsel.

Does GDPR apply if I am not based in the EU?

It can. GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the EU when you offer goods or services to them or monitor their behaviour, regardless of where your company is located.

What is the difference between PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25?

PIPEDA is Canada's federal private-sector privacy law. Quebec Law 25 is a Quebec provincial law that modernized privacy rules for organizations handling the personal information of people in Quebec, with its own requirements and penalties.
