175: Application of this subpart
or “Who this part of the law applies to when sharing personal information”
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 from collecting, using, or sharing personal information if the privacy rules say it’s okay. This part of the law doesn’t change what’s in subparts 1 to 3 either.
