Level 4

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well! For those of you with customers in Quebec, how are you handling compliance with Law 25? Specifically, how are you ensuring that data is properly anonymized or removed in line with the law’s requirements?

I’d really appreciate if anyone could share their approach or implementation details.

Thanks so much!

Hello @JeanBaro2

 

In AEP, compliance with Law 25 can be effectively managed by aligning specific requirements with AEP's privacy-focused features:

  1. Handling Data Subject Requests: For complying with user requests to access or delete their data, you can use Privacy Service in AEP. This service allows businesses to automate data subject requests, ensuring you meet Law 25's requirement to provide users control over their personal data.

  2. Data Retention and Minimization: To comply with the requirement of data minimization, AEP allows you to define data lifecycles and event expiration policies. This helps to determine how long data is retained, and it will automatically be deleted when the retention period ends, ensuring data isn’t kept longer than necessary.

  3. Scheduled Data Deletion: You can also use Schedule Data Expiration to specify when data should be deleted. This ensures compliance with regulations about only retaining data as long as needed for its intended purpose.

  4. Data Access Control: To limit access to sensitive information and prevent unauthorized use, AEP provides Data Governance Labels and Access Labels. Data governance labels classify data based on sensitivity (e.g., PII or personal data), while access labels manage which teams or systems can access specific data sets, helping to ensure compliance with Law 25’s requirements for data security and privacy.

  5. Anonymization During Ingestion: If personal data is not needed for any specific use case, you can anonymize it during the ingestion process, using data preparation steps. This helps comply with the requirement to use only the data necessary for each use case and ensures PII data is anonymized upfront, reducing privacy risks.

By leveraging these features, AEP helps organizations responsibly handle personal data, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations like Law 25 while effectively managing data throughout its lifecycle.
