Annual Privacy Report: Key Trends for the End of 2025

As we move into the second quarter of 2025, the digital privacy landscape continues to rapidly evolve. With new regulations, technological innovations, and rising user expectations around data privacy, what key trends should Canadian businesses watch for the remainder of the year? Here are the essential points to consider.

Strengthening Canadian Regulations

Canada already has a robust regulatory framework with Quebec's Law 25 and PIPEDA at the federal level. However, pressure to further tighten these regulations is increasing, especially in light of European and American developments in data privacy protection. Canadian businesses must prepare for enhanced requirements regarding transparency, explainability, and explicit consent management.

Rise of Automated Consent

Automating consent through artificial intelligence and zero-click technologies is quickly becoming the norm. This approach simplifies user experiences while ensuring optimal regulatory compliance. Companies must now adopt advanced and flexible technological solutions capable of rapidly adapting to these evolving regulatory demands.

Increased Protection of Minors' Data

Protecting the personal data of minors is now a global regulatory priority. By the end of 2025, Canada is expected to further strengthen its requirements related to collecting, processing, and storing minors' data, necessitating specialized tools and processes to comply with these new standards.

Preserving Digital Sovereignty

Local data management remains essential for Canadian businesses aiming to preserve digital sovereignty and build user trust. Choosing fully Canadian solutions, such as Byscuit, ensures regulatory compliance and enhances consumer confidence in secure data management.
