Some Key Takeaways from The Updated CPRA Rules

As we previously discussed, the California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA”) recently released updated rules implementing the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”). Here are some of the key changes from those rules. While the changes are modest, they are directionally helpful in addressing some of the concerns industry raised during the rulemaking process.

AI COULD GUIDE DOCTORS TO PROTECT TEEN PRIVACY

Two laws, one new, the other on the books since the 1980s, have complicated the lives of pediatricians. The federal government’s 21st Century Cures Act, among its many mandates, requires physicians nationwide make available to patients their complete electronic medical records. With the click of a mouse, all personal health information, test results, prescribed medications, and clinical notes must be accessible digitally for patient review.

Meanwhile, a confidentiality law in California simultaneously demands that pediatricians protect the privacy of their adolescent patients. That is, by law they must not divulge to parents certain details about their dependent child’s mental health, sexual history, drug use, and other confidential information.

… What qualifies as confidential for a given patient is left up to the doctor’s interpretation and therein lies a problem. Doctors often disagree about such matters and now those subtle distinctions are weighted not only with medical consequence but with legal consequence, as well.





Opinion, and I agree!

RSS government

GovFresh, Luke Fretwell – “Defaulting to an open protocol to syndicate government information makes public communications universally accessible. Every government website should have an RSS feed. This ensures there is an open, universal standard for syndicating government information. The problem – While it’s important that government shares information via distributed outlets – social media, email newsletters – there isn’t one universal, open standard that is free and easy to access. Relying on social media or email newsletters forces the public to submit personal information or join a private network to subscribe to official updates. This is a barrier to equal, unfettered access to government information. The solution – Government should lead on using an open standard for syndicating its website content. All government websites should have an RSS feed. RSS is an ideal information syndication option because it’s:

  • An open protocol

  • Free to access

  • Easy to create

  • Interoperable

  • Machine-readable

  • Privacy ensured…”

Museum Security

Interesting interview:

Banks don’t take millions of dollars and put them in plastic bags and hang them on the wall so everybody can walk right up to them. But we do basically the same thing in museums and hang the assets right out on the wall. So it’s our job, then, to either use technology or develop technology that protects the art, to hire honest guards that are trainable and able to meet the challenge and alert and so forth. And we have to keep them alert because it’s the world’s most boring job. It might be great for you to go to a museum and see it for a day, but they stand in that same gallery year after year, and so they get mental fatigue. And so we have to rotate them around and give them responsibilities that keep them stimulated and keep them fresh.
It’s a challenge. But we try to predict the items that might be most vulnerable. Which are not necessarily most valuable; some things have symbolic significance to them. And then we try to predict what the next targets might be and advise our clients that they maybe need to put special security on those items
