What it requires

  • Take the security measures necessary to protect the personal information you collect, use, communicate, keep or destroy, measures that are reasonable given the sensitivity of the information, the purposes for which it is used, its quantity and distribution and the medium on which it is stored (s. 10).

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What record it asks for

Logging duty

Section 10 requires security measures that are reasonable given the sensitivity of the information, its purposes, its quantity and distribution and its medium. It names no log, register or record, sets no period, and says nobody may demand a record, so no logging duty is found.
