The Distinctive Purposes and Geographical Applicability of HIPAA, PHIPA, and PIDEDA
HIPAA, PHIPA, HiTech, and PIPEDA are all designed to protect personal information, but they differ in scope and applicability based on geographic and sectoral boundaries.
- HIPAA is specific to the United States and focuses on protecting health information within the healthcare sector, including providers, insurers, and business associates.
- HiTech applies across the United States, mandating healthcare organizations implement robust security measures for electronic health information and ensuring enhanced patient privacy.
- PHIPA applies only within Ontario, Canada, governing how healthcare providers handle personal health information.
- PIPEDA is broader in scope, applying to all personal information collected, used, or disclosed in commercial activities by businesses across Canada, except in provinces like Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec, which have similar laws.
Each regulation mandates compliance to safeguard privacy but is tailored to the specific legal and cultural contexts of its respective jurisdictions.
