176: Relationship between this subpart and other law relating to information disclosure

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.
