162: Purpose of this subpart
or “This section explains how certain agencies can verify people's identities”
You could also call this:

“How this part relates to other laws about sharing information”

This part of the law doesn’t stop you from collecting, using, or sharing personal information if another law says you can or must do it. It also doesn’t stop you if the information privacy principles allow it. This part doesn’t change anything in subpart 1, subpart 3, or subpart 4 of the law either. These rules work alongside other laws about sharing information, they don’t replace them.
