Since 22 September 2023, an enterprise that collects personal information has to make its practices available in clear and simple language. The policy names the person in charge, the purposes, the retention period and how to use the rights. Fill this template from your processing register.

Before you publish

  • Each purpose matches an activity you actually carry out.
  • The person named is the same one published elsewhere on the site.
  • A communication outside Quebec, including to another province, is stated in the policy. The written assessment is kept separately.
  • The link stays stable in the footer. The published version is the one your teams apply.

A starting point to adapt. This template does not replace legal advice on your activities.
