You’re developing a health app for mobile devices and you want to know which federal laws apply. Check out this interactive tool.
WHAT ARE THE LAWS?
Does your mobile app collect, create, or share consumer information? Does it diagnose or treat a disease or health condition? Then this tool will help you figure out which – and it may be more than one – federal laws apply. It’s not meant to be legal advice about all of your compliance obligations, but it will give you a snapshot of a few important laws and regulations from three federal agencies.
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act)
- Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act)
- FTC’s Health Breach Notification Rule
