Loi 25-Compliant EHR for Quebec Health Practitioners
Quebec's Loi 25 reshaped how every clinic must protect personal information — with real obligations and real penalties. Colib is a Quebec-friendly, bilingual EHR designed so that booking, charting, billing and telehealth all run inside a platform built for Loi 25 from the start.
What Loi 25 Means for Your Clinic
Loi 25 — the law modernizing Quebec's privacy framework — applies to anyone holding personal information, including solo practitioners and small clinics. It requires you to limit what you collect, obtain proper consent, protect the data, report confidentiality incidents and let clients access or move their information.
The software you use does not make you compliant on its own — but the wrong software makes compliance nearly impossible. Colib is built to be the right one.
How Colib Supports Loi 25 Compliance
Each requirement below maps to something Colib already does — so your EHR works with the law instead of against it.
Data Hosted in Canada
Loi 25 requires an assessment before sending personal information outside Quebec. Colib keeps client data encrypted on Canadian servers.
Consent at Collection
Online intake forms let you request and document client consent clearly, at the moment information is collected.
Access Controls & Logging
Role-based permissions and access logs help you limit who sees a file and demonstrate it if asked.
Right of Access & Portability
Export a client's information when they exercise their right to access or to receive their data in a usable format.
Incident-Ready Security
Encryption and logging help you contain and document a confidentiality incident, which Loi 25 requires you to record and, in serious cases, report.
Bilingual by Design
A platform your French-speaking clients can use in French — see our bilingual EHR page.
This page is general information, not legal advice. You remain responsible for your own Loi 25 obligations, including appointing a person in charge of the protection of personal information.
Loi 25 and the Rest of Canada
Loi 25 is Quebec's law, but the federal PIPEDA applies across the country. If you practise outside Quebec, or alongside it, see our PIPEDA-compliant software page and our Quebec EHR page for the full provincial picture.

Loi 25 EHR — frequently asked questions
Have a Loi 25 question? Contact our Quebec-based team.
Does using Colib make my clinic Loi 25 compliant?
Software alone never makes you compliant — compliance also depends on your own policies and practices. But Colib gives you the technical foundation Loi 25 expects: Canadian hosting, encryption, consent capture, access control and data export.
Is my client data sent outside Quebec or Canada?
Client data is encrypted and hosted on servers in Canada, which addresses Loi 25's concern about transferring personal information outside the province.
How does Colib help with confidentiality incidents?
Encryption and access logs help you contain an incident and reconstruct what happened — the information you need to record it and decide whether it must be reported under Loi 25.
Can a client get a copy of their information?
Yes. You can export a client's information so you can fulfil their right of access and data portability under Loi 25.
Do I still need a person in charge of privacy?
Yes. Loi 25 requires you to designate a person responsible for the protection of personal information. Colib supports that person's work but does not replace the role.
Is Colib available in French for my clients?
Yes. Colib is fully bilingual, so your booking page, forms and client portal can be used in French throughout Quebec.
