Key Points:
- FPF Files Comments for the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule Addressing Specific Definitions and Clarity of Scope
On August 8th, the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) filed comments with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the Commission) regarding the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to clarify the scope and application of the Health Breach Notification Rule (HBNR). - The HBNR was promulgated in 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as a breach of security rule.
- The cases indicated a shift in the interpretation of “breach of security” by the Commission that drew many proto-typical practices into scope.
- The NPRM seeks to clarify this broadened scope which has amalgamated traditional breaches of security with nascent breaches of privacy.
