On August 10, the CLHIA submitted a letter to the BC Legislature’s Special Committee to Review the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) which highlighted the life and health insurance industry’s views on several key issues with the current legislation. The letter covers disclosure of personal information without consent in the context of fraud, privacy breach notification, access rights involving medical information, access rights used for litigation purposes, and cross-border data flows. It also reinforced the importance of PIPA remaining substantially similar to the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Document Act (PIPEDA) and to maintain adequacy status in relation to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
