Protection of Personal Information

You have just received a request for access to information?

You are wondering how long to retain personal information contained in employee records? What is the appropriate time period to wait prior to destruction of records?

We advise employers on any questions related to the protection of the privacy of employees or third parties. 

Our expertise includes the analysis of the provisions of the following laws:

• Act Respecting Access to Documents Held by Public Bodies and the Protection of Personal Information, applicable to public sector employers
• Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, applicable to the private sector. 

Furthermore, we represent our clients in cases of litigation pursuant to these laws, before bodies such as the Access to Information Commission.
