FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

Is PIPA Bermuda in force

The Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) was enacted in Bermuda in 2016, but full enforcement was pending. The Government of Bermuda and the Privacy Commissioner have been working on implementing the act by organizing resources and educating businesses and the public. It is expected to come into full force on January 1, 2025. This will require all organizations in Bermuda that handle personal data to comply with various data protection standards. If you are a business owner or involved in data management, it's advisable to start preparing for PIPA compliance now. You may also want to consider achieving cybersecurity standards like IASME Cyber Baseline and Cyber Assurance to demonstrate compliance. Always refer to the latest official government sources for the most current information.

Bermuda Rules - What Are They

As a Bermudan business you have a number of new responsibilities uner the new Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). For a simple oversight of the process we have provided this handy 10-step guide:

Designate Responsible Parties: Identify who in the organization (e.g., director, manager, secretary) will be responsible for data protection and ensure they understand their obligations under PIPA.

Consent and Transparency: Make sure personal data is collected and processed only with proper consent or under conditions that the act allows. Be transparent with individuals about how their data is being used.
Implement Security Measures: Develop and enforce strong internal security protocols to safeguard personal data, including electronic and physical controls.
Management Accountability: If you are a corporate body, ensure that all members who manage affairs are aware of their responsibilities under PIPA. Make them accountable for any acts and defaults in connection with their management functions.
Regular Review: Routinely assess and update your data protection policies to comply with PIPA. Ensure you are also compliant with any regulations made under the act.
Prepare for Audits: Be ready for external reviews or audits to verify that your practices align with PIPA requirements.
Report and Review: Be prepared to carry out comprehensive reviews of the act’s application within your organization and report to relevant authorities as required.
Amend Other Policies: Update other organizational policies that might be impacted by PIPA, especially if you have international operations. This is especially pertinent if you are also adhering to other Acts, as mentioned in the 'Power to make consequential amendments' section.
Stay Updated: Keep an eye on any new regulations or changes to existing laws that may affect your obligations under PIPA. Consult with the Commissioner or Minister as required.
Public Disclosure: Make sure your privacy policies and practices are publicly accessible, easily understandable, and in accordance with PIPA.

What are the 8 Core Priciples of PIPA

The eight core privacy principles of Bermuda’s Personal Information Protection Act 2016 (PIPA) are as follows:

Collection Limitation Principle: There should be limits to the collection of personal data, and any such data should be obtained by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the data subject.
Data Quality Principle: Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which they are to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and kept up-to-date.
Purpose Specification Principle: The purposes for which personal data are collected should be specified not later than at the time of data collection, and the subsequent use limited to the fulfillment of those purposes or such others as are not incompatible with those purposes and as are specified on each occasion of change of purpose.
Use Limitation Principle: Personal data should not be used for purposes other than those for which they were collected, except with the consent of the data subject or as required by law.
Security Safeguards Principle: Personal data should be protected by reasonable security safeguards against such risks as loss or unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure of data.
Openness Principle: There should be a general policy of openness about developments, practices, and policies with respect to personal data. Individuals should have easy access to information about their personal data and the ways in which it is being used.
Individual Participation Principle: An individual should have the right to know whether a controller has personal data relating to him or her; to have access to that data; and to have it corrected if it is inaccurate.
Accountability Principle: A controller should be accountable for complying with measures that give effect to the principles stated above.

Bermuda PIPA vs GDPR

ermuda’s Personal Information Protection Act 2016 (PIPA) and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are both privacy regulations that aim to protect personal data. However, there are some differences between the two.

PIPA is a regulation that regulates the future processing of all personal data in Bermuda and embodies eight core privacy principles which are internationally recognized and accepted. GDPR, on the other hand, is a regulation that applies to all EU member states and regulates the processing of personal data of EU citizens.

While both regulations share some similarities, such as the requirement for consent before processing personal data, GDPR has more stringent requirements than PIPA. For example, GDPR requires companies to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if they process large amounts of personal data. GDPR also has more severe penalties for non-compliance than PIPA 1.

It’s important to note that Bermuda is not part of the EU, so GDPR does not apply to Bermuda. However, PIPA aligns closely with GDPR in a number of areas.
