Privacy Laws
Newtech will follow all laws that apply to confidential data based upon client requests.
The following is a breakdown of current laws:

The HIPPA Act of 1996 issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provides protection for the privacy of certain individual identifiable health data. Balancing the protection of individual health information with the need to protect public health, the Privacy Rule expressly permits disclosures without individual authorization to public health authorities authorized by law to collect or receive the information for the purpose of preventing or controlling disease.

The Financial Services Modernization Act requires all financial institutions to disclose to customers their policies and practices for protecting the privacy of non-public personal information. The Act permits financial institutions to share personal customer information with affiliates within the holding company. It is a criminal offense for any person (including firm employees) to obtain or attempt to attain customer information relating to another person from any financial institution.
