Protection of Personal Data: New Measures Put in Place by the European Union

Interviewed by La Presse, our lawyers Didier Culat and Nicolas St-Sauveur comment on the new European measures to which Québec SMEs doing business in Europe will have to comply.

As of May 25, 2018, the _General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will impose strict requirements on the collection and use of online information.

Québec companies, particularly those wishing to take advantage of the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, face high fines in case of non-compliance with the GDPR.

According to our two experts, it is important that companies prepare for it.
