New Year, New Health Privacy Law? – What You Need to Know About NYHIPA

A new health privacy law in New York—the New York Health Information Privacy Act (NYHIPA)—is awaiting Governor Kathy Hochul’s review. If enacted, NYHIPA would introduce some of the strictest health data privacy rules in the U.S., going beyond laws in Washington, Nevada, and Connecticut. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: • Broad Scope: Covers location data, payment info, and health inferences, even if not based on sensitive data. • Strict Consent Rules: Requires explicit authorization for most data collection, unlike other states. • Compliance Challenges: Includes deletion timelines, security mandates, and service provider restrictions. • Enforcement: The New York Attorney General will oversee compliance and could introduce additional regulations. • With its wide-reaching impact, businesses nationwide should watch NYHIPA’s progress closely.
