Digital ID System for Québec
Conditions and best practices towards implementing a provincial digital ID system for Québecers
Implementing a provincial digital ID system involves a number of important questions about ethics, data privacy, data usefulness, and data preservation. Beyond the practicalities involved in properly governing, managing, and organizing personal data in keeping with laws and standards and the expectations of governments and citizens, the implementation of digital ID systems must also achieve social acceptability.
