Digital Health Privacy Program (DHPP)
Digital Health Privacy Program (DHPP)
It is time to raise the bar for protecting consumer health privacy. The Digital Health Privacy Program (DHPP) is testing the first independent, self-regulatory standards for non-HIPAA-covered health data.
The Landscape
While the use and disclosure of health-related data held by doctors and insurance companies is regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), data collected and used by makers of wearable devices, health and wellness apps, online services, and the Internet of Things is not covered by HIPAA.
American Data Privacy and Protection Act
Introduced in June 2022, the ADPPA would give consumers more control over their personal data across the board.
American Privacy Rights Act
Introduced in April 2024, APRA would create a U.S. baseline for requirements when processing consumer data.
Consumer Health State Legislation
Six states have enacted consumer privacy laws that recognize health information as a sensitive data element.
Health Breach Notification Rule
The FTC requires companies not covered by HIPAA to notify customers of a breach of unsecured, individually identifiable health information.
Time to Take Action
As the call to action to protect consumer health information grows louder, companies who collect and use health-related data not covered under HIPAA have an opportunity to take proactive steps to get ahead of regulation and meet the privacy needs of their customers.
Program Overview
The Digital Health Privacy Program (DHPP) will:
* Gather input from select business leaders on the front lines of non-HIPAA consumer health data management.
* Evaluate participating companies' consumer health data privacy practices, in alignment with applicable state and federal data privacy requirements.
* Certify companies with a seal, demonstrating their accountability to robust standards for treatment of sensitive health data.
* Provide ongoing support to participants as their new products and services are offered to consumers.
* Help consumers find the products and services they can trust.
The certification process includes a comprehensive verification and readiness assessment for your product as well as ongoing monitoring and support from the BBB National Programs privacy team. As a participant, your certification seal will demonstrate to customers that your product or service complies with the stringent requirements of the program.
How it Works
