Nova Scotia’s Personal Information International Disclosure Protection Act (PIIDPA)

A visitor browsing PrivacySense was nice enough to send me a quick email pointing out a bill from Nova Scotia’s privacy legislation that received royal assent July 14, 2006.

Nova Scotia’s Personal Information International Disclosure Protection Act (PIIDPA) was created to protect Nova Scotians from their personal information being disclosed outside Canada. PIDDPA affects Nova Scotian public bodies and public body service providers.

Nova Scotia’s Department of Health has also been working with partners in the health sector to develop a Personal Health Information Act (PHIA).

This is something I have been watching recently. Read the discussion paper if you are interested in learning more about PHIA.

Thanks to Greg for the update!
