Privacy & Data Protection Toolkit — Law 25, PIPEDA, GDPR (Word + Excel)

The complete, ready-to-customise privacy programme for Canadian businesses — and for any business serving EU customers. If Quebec's Law 25 and PIPEDA apply to you, regulators don't ask whether you "care about privacy." They ask for artefacts: a designated Privacy Officer, published policies, a register of your processing, impact assessments, an incident register, proof you answer rights requests on time and destroy records on schedule. This toolkit gives you every one of those artefacts, drafted to the standard the CAI and the OPC actually test.

Regime coverage:

• Quebec Law 25 — Privacy Officer designation and publication (ss. 3.1–3.2), governance policies and transparency (s. 3.8), necessity and consent, privacy by default (s. 9.1), PIAs (s. 3.3), transfers outside Quebec (s. 17), incident notification and the incident register (s. 3.5–3.7), portability, de-indexation, destruction and anonymisation (ss. 21, 23)
• PIPEDA — the ten fair information principles, breach of security safeguards reporting to the OPC, individual notification, the real-risk-of-significant-harm (RROSH) assessment, and the 24-month record of every breach
• GDPR essentials — lawful bases, transparency, data subject rights on a one-month clock, Article 30 records, Article 28 processor contracts, 72-hour breach notification (Art. 33), DPIAs (Art. 35), Chapter V transfers
• ISO/IEC 27701-aligned programme structure — the policy, register and assessment cycle map cleanly onto a privacy information management system

Who it's for: Canadian SMBs — especially MSBs, mortgage, lending, insurance and fintech firms — facing Law 25 and PIPEDA; businesses serving EU customers; privacy and compliance leads and consultants who need a documented, defensible programme without drafting it from zero.

Please note: Templates and general information, not legal advice or a guarantee of compliance with any law named. Statutory references were checked against published texts; privacy law evolves — verify section numbers and penalty figures against the official publications, and involve Canadian privacy counsel for investigations, complaints or reportable breaches.
