The order exempts health information custodians and their agents from the application of PIPEDA to the extent that they collect, use and disclose personal information within the province of Ontario. Therefore, in collecting, using, and disclosing personal information within Ontario, whether or not in the course of a commercial activity, health information custodians must comply with PHIPA, and are not required to comply with PIPEDA.
