With the adoption of Quebec’s new privacy law (Law 25), information systems that collect data are now subject to an “assessment of privacy-related factors.” The speakers at our October 27 webinar on Ethics and Data Privacy helped unravel some of the issues involved to enable participants to chart a path forward. The event was moderated by Camille Grange, Associate Professor at HEC Montréal’s Department of Information Technologies.
Artificial intelligence, blockchain, virtual reality… many of the latest digital innovations are built around technologies that are dependent on users’ personal data. With data privacy requirements more stringent than ever, we turned to two experts for their insights: François Senécal, KPMG Senior Manager, Cybersecurity and Privacy, and Antoine Guilmain, Associate Counsel at Gowling WLG’s Montreal office, where he co-leads the firm’s national Cyber Security and Data Protection Law Group.
