Last Friday in the House of Assembly, the Government introduced
amending legislation required to bring Bermuda's 2016 privacy
laws into effect on January 1, 2025. That may seem like a long
ramp-up period to some, but it is not.
Bermuda's Personal Information Protection Act 2016 (PIPA)
sets out a comprehensive regime to protect a broad range of
personal information, including information - among all other
details about an identified or identifiable individual - that may
disclose an individual's address and contact information,
family status, financial circumstances, and their physical and
mental health.
As important as it is for many organisations and businesses to
use and rely upon personal information to carry on business, it is
also vital to ensure that such information is protected and not
wrongfully exploited.
