New Brunswick
New Brunswick PHIPAA
Applies to: Custodians of personal health information in New Brunswick, including public bodies.
New Brunswick repealed its section on disclosing personal health information outside the province in 2017 (s. 47, repealed 2017, c. 30).
A custodian may give personal health information to an information manager "for the purpose of processing, storing or destroying" it or for information technology services (s. 52(2)), under a written agreement that protects it (s. 52(3)). The regulation says the agreement must describe the services and the information manager's safeguards (Regulation 2010-112, s. 21).
The regulation speaks to storage outside Canada in one case: "Information managers providing a public body with information management or information technology services may store personal health information in their custody or in their control outside Canada" (Regulation 2010-112, s. 22).
