Appleby Bermuda Shorts | Tech Talks S01 E09

Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) – what do Bermuda companies need to know to be ready?

Listen as Jerome Wilson, Partner and Head of Bermuda’s Technology & Innovation practice talks to fellow Partner Duncan Card, who specializes in privacy law, cybersecurity compliance and IT and outsourcing contracts – as they discuss recent indications that PIPA may come into full force this spring - possibly on a sectorial basis.

As a result of the many rights that PIPA bestows on individuals, organisations must ensure that all of their business processes, customer relations programmes, data management systems and administrative processes are compliant with the practices, protections, and use restrictions that PIPA will soon impose on them.  

Jerome and Duncan also discuss the important distinction between the “Privacy Notice” that is required by PIPA, and the “Privacy Policy” that requires organisations to adopt suitable measures and policies to give effect to all of their obligations, and to the rights of individuals, as set out in PIPA.
