Protection of personal information

Bill 25 modernizes legislative conditions regarding the protection of personal information in Quebec since September 2022. As a result, the collection of personal information must be limited to that which is necessary for the psychological services.  Dr. Francesca Lungescu is the person responsible for the protection of personal information for her clinic. You may contact her, regarding this matter, if necessary, at the coordinates indicated at the bottom of this page. Based on this law, several requirements and modifications will be put in place from 2022 to 2025. As a practicing psychologist in private practice, she will now have the following responsibilities within her clinic:

• Apply the Personal Information Protection Act
• Respond to requests related to personal information (e.g., access, rectification, etc.)
• Implement governance rules for personal information; keep closed files for 5 years, then destroy them confidentially and securely; develop privacy policy
• Keep records of communication of personal information
• Take care of the process for handling complaints relating to the protection of personal information
• notify the Commission d’accès à l’information and the person concerned of any confidentiality incident involving personal information where there is a risk of serious harm
• Keep a record of confidentiality incidents involving personal information and take steps to prevent new incidents.

If you write from the contact page of this website, you give your explicit, free, and informed consent for Dr. Francesca Lungescu, psychologist, or her assistant, to respond to you by email and/or phone, as well as for the collection and processing of the personal information you provide, for the purposes for which it was collected (i.e., to allow Dr. Francesca Lungescu or her assistant to assess whether they can assist you or if it would be better to provide you with a referral), while maintaining confidentiality.
