228 ACADEMY · AI and Law 25

Pasting a client file into a public AI tool sends it outside Québec.

Under Law 25, yes. Few small businesses know it. The good news: once you know it, it is simple to get right. The kit walks you through structuring your compliance, one document at a time. You add your information, and you leave with your file, ready to sign.

Six short modules, about two and a half hours. You move at your own pace, on your own time, nothing to watch. At the end, your compliance file is built.

One-time payment. Immediate access. Updates included for 12 months.
What you leave with

You leave with work already done.

Here are the four documents you hold at the end, and what each one is for.

YOUR AI POLICY

Your AI use policy, ready to sign

The ground rules for your team, written once. You date it, you post it, and everyone knows what may go into AI. The first document in your file.

YOUR DATA

What may go into AI, and what never does

Your data map and your enterprise mode configured. Everyday use stays on the right side, without a second thought. The habit that keeps you clear of missteps.

YOUR LAW 25 ASSESSMENT

Your Law 25 assessment, section 17, already filled in

A consultant bills this document at $1,500 and up. Here, you fill it in with your information, and your registers come with it. Ready to date and sign.

YOUR PLAN

Your plan for the next 30 days, and everything in one place

The exact order of moves to make, and your complete file gathered in your 228 Toolkit, ready to download. You know what to do, and in what order.

You leave with a file you can date, sign and show, because you filled it in yourself, with your information.

The deliverable, shown

Here are the documents, before you pay.

Two screens from the kit, redrawn exactly. On the left, Module 0: your starting picture, and the zone to start with. On the right, the piece that picture points you to, your section 17 assessment. The example carries the name of a fictional company; you put in your own.

THE FIRST MOVE

Your weakest zone: Outside Québec. Start with your Law 25 assessment already filled in and your registers (Module 03). One piece filled in, and this zone turns green.

Ten statements, one verdict per zone. Your starting point, in black and white.

Module 3 · filled-in example The document billed at $1,500 elsewhere
Assessment · Rivard & Co.SEC. 17 · LAW 25
1 · Identification
Company: Rivard & Co. Privacy officer: Julie Rivard, owner. Date: [to be dated].
2 · Project
The company plans to use Claude (Anthropic) for drafting, summarizing and reviewing documents. The tool is hosted outside Québec (country: United States). This use with identifiable information is a communication outside Québec, covered by section 17.
3 · Information involved
Information that may be involved: client names and contact details, file contents. Assessed sensitivity: medium to high. Only strictly necessary information is entered, one file at a time.
4 · The four factors (sec. 17)
1) Sensitivity: medium to high, measures adjusted accordingly. 2) Purpose: drafting, summarizing and reviewing documents, defined and legitimate. 3) Protection measures, including contractual ones (detailed in 6): enterprise-level account; training on data disabled; data processing agreement signed with the vendor; AI use policy adopted; AI systems register kept up to date. 4) Legal framework of the destination state (detailed in 5): United States, assessed then supplemented by the contract.
5 · Legal framework of the destination state
The legal framework of the destination state (United States) does not, on its own, offer adequate protection within the meaning of Québec law. That adequate protection is built through the contractual and technical measures in section 6.
6 · Protection measures
In place: enterprise-level account; training on data disabled; data processing agreement signed with the vendor; AI use policy adopted; AI systems register kept up to date. Standing commitments: information minimized, one file at a time; limited retention; results reviewed by a person.
7 · Decision and conditions
Decision: authorized, under the conditions below. Conditions: information minimized, one file at a time; limited retention; results reviewed by a person; sensitive information anonymized or excluded; review within twelve months.

You fill in your fields and check your measures on the left of the screen, the document takes shape on the right, like this. All eight sections are shown in full.

The first screen names your weak zone. The second fills it in. This is how the whole kit works: each module adds a piece to your file.

Two screens out of six. Your documents take shape in your browser as you enter your information, and nothing is sent to us.

Who it is for

For the owner who uses AI and wants to do it right.

The kit exists for one simple reason: so you can use AI in your business without breaking Law 25, and without becoming a legal expert.

IT IS FOR YOU IF
  • You already use ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot in your business, or you are about to start.
  • You hold information about clients, employees or suppliers, and you want to frame what goes into AI.
  • You want to leave with filled-in documents, ready to use in your business.
  • You like moving at your own pace, on your own time, with nothing to watch.
  • Your team works in both French and English: both versions are included, each in their own language.
IT IS NOT FOR YOU IF
  • You are looking for formal legal advice on your specific situation. The kit structures your file; a legal professional can then review it.
  • You want everything handled for you. In that case, 228 OPERATORS looks at your whole operation for you.
  • You use no AI tool and do not plan to. The kit has no purpose for you today.

The module that changes everything

Your Law 25 assessment, filled in with you.

Pasting identifiable information into a public AI tool hosted outside Québec is a communication outside Québec within the meaning of section 17. It calls for a written assessment. Few small businesses know it, and that is exactly what this module settles. You add your information, the assessment takes shape on screen, and you leave with a document ready to date and sign, plus your registers. A consultant bills this work at $1,500 and up. Here, the how is already done.

Where the kit comes from

The legal framework, turned into documents you fill in.

The substance does not come from an opinion. It draws on the text of Law 25 and on the public guidance of the Commission d'accès à l'information (CAI).

Between the free template you find online, which gives you principles, and the consultant at several thousand dollars, the middle was missing: the how, already done. The kit is that middle.

THE CASE SHOWN

The running example follows a concrete case: a client file entered into an AI tool. The skeleton is reusable; you replace it with your own situation, your business, your tools.

A practical compliance tool. The kit is not legal advice and does not replace consulting a legal professional for your specific situation.

What comes next, when you want

This brings your AI under control. The look at your operation comes after.

The kit does one thing and does it in full: it frames how you use AI and leaves you in control. The next question is where AI and automation would pay off the most across your operation. That takes a pro's eye on your whole operation, and that is what Audit OPERATORS does. One thing at a time: you secure first, you optimize next.

The questions you ask us

Before you start.

No. It is a practical tool that structures your file. You leave with filled-in documents, ready to date and sign, which a legal professional can review if you want. The kit does not replace legal advice on your specific situation.
Yes. The law applies to every private business in Québec, whatever its size, as soon as you hold information about clients or employees. Size does not change the obligations. It changes the workload, and that is where the kit helps: the bulk is already done.
A structured compliance file, up and running: your signed policy, your data rules, your filled-in Law 25 assessment, your registers and your plan. Documents ready to date, sign and show. What follows depends on your implementation, and on a review by a professional if you wish. We hand you the complete file, ready to date, sign and show.
It is not required. Since the bulk of the work is already done, if you have a professional review your file, it is shorter and cheaper than starting from a blank page. You arrive with a file already built.
About two and a half hours, at your own pace. You can do it all in one evening or spread it over the week. Nothing to watch: you move when it suits you, and your progress carries from one module to the next, in the browser where you work. Your answers never leave your device, so come back from the same browser and download your documents as you go: once downloaded, they are yours for good.
Updates are included for 12 months. We follow the publications of the Commission d'accès à l'information (CAI) and adjust the kit when needed.
This is a digital product with immediate access, so the sale is final. The page shows you exactly what you get before you buy, and the first module tells you in ten minutes where you stand.
No. Both versions of the kit are included, at no extra cost. Each person works in their own language and leaves with their documents in that language. One purchase covers your business, French side and English side.
AI Under Control

You can keep using AI without a net, or take back control in one evening.

Your signed policy, your data rules, your filled-in Law 25 assessment, your plan for the next 30 days. Your whole file together, ready to date, sign and show.
