Despite over 5,000 comments in opposition, and only two in favor: New York State Department of Health and, the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Services (NAPHSIS), they went forth with their original proposed rule. NAPHSIS is the organization that has promoted the 125/75 year embargo dates as part of the 2011 Model Vital Statistics Act which has never been approved by the Federal government.

6 Tools to Take Your Family Tree Back to the Victorian Period
records-access
As previously written about on the IAJGS Records Access Alert, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYCDoH&MH) promulgated a new regulation imposing restrictive embargo periods for when they transfer birth and death records to the Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS) which includes the municipal archives. The embargo dates are 125 years from date of birth and 75 years from date of death. Existing records that were previously transferred to DORIS are not affected.
Despite over 5,000 comments in opposition, and only two in favor: New York State Department of Health and, the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Services (NAPHSIS), they went forth with their original proposed rule. NAPHSIS is the organization that has promoted the 125/75 year embargo dates as part of the 2011 Model Vital Statistics Act which has never been approved by the Federal government.
The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society (NYGBS) took the leadership role in organizing the various genealogical groups to oppose the embargo periods. The group is called New York Records Access and Preservation Committee (NYRPAC). If you would like to view its website with the organizations that are participating go to: https://nyrpac.org/ Organizations are still joining so we expect the list to grow. IAJGS is proud to be one of the Coalition members, along with the current other members: Italian Genealogy Group; Jewish Genealogical Society of Long Island (JGSLI), New York Genealogical Society and Biographical Society (NYGBS), Reclaim the Records and the Records Preservation and Access Committee (RPAC) of which IAJGS is a sponsoring member along with the Federation of Genealogical Societies and National Genealogical Society.
NY-RPAC is collecting stories from researchers on how changes to the accessibility of New York’s records will impact you. Go to the NY-RPAC website to find out the types of stories and how to submit: https://nyrpac.org/share-your-story/
NYCDoH&MH has issued another proposed rule, in part in response to the 5,000 comments in opposition to the first rule, expanding certain family members access to death records and birth records for deceased persons. While this is definitely a positive step it does not go far enough, as certain relatives are not included, such as step children, step –parents etc., nor are researchers.
The NYGBS has a new action plan to let the NYCDoH&MH know that while this amendment is an improvement greater access is desirable.
Go to: https://www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org/nyc-vital-records-access and see what you can do!
· Sign a petition
· Submit a statement by 5:00PM April 23
· Attend the hearing on April 23, 2018
NYGBS is holding a Facebook event, tomorrow, April 10 10:00AM-2:00PM EDT
Not on Facebook? Anyone can watch by visiting https://www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org - NYGBS will have a link right to the broadcast on their home page.

Jan Meisels Allen
Chairperson, IAJGS Public Records Access Monitoring Committee
On February 28, 2018, the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics released its report, Towards Privacy by Design: Review of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The recommendations are heavily influenced by the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To read the report see: http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2018/parl/xc73-1/XC73-1-1-421-12-eng.pdf
You then have the option to read it in English or French.
One of the recommendations is to explicitly provide for an "opt-in" consent as the default for any use of personal information for secondary purposes with the view of implementing a default opt-in system regardless of purpose.
Ed. Note: Some years ago Canada adopted an "opt-in" for release of Census information after 92 years. The number of Canadians signing to "opt-in" was low and therefore permit future generations to see their censuses information was diminished. It was only last year that this was reversed. While this proposal is not designed to address the census, it is something to watch as census may be "swept-up" in the overall description of what will be considered personal information and "secondary purposes".
Another of the items is whether Canada's The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) should be amended to include the "right to be forgotten" via two approaches: (a) the right to erasure; and (b) the right to de-indexing. The right to erasure involves the right of an individual to have his/her personal information deleted from a website; de-indexing involves the mere de-referencing or de-indexing of such website from search results that include the individual’s name (while leaving the source documents themselves in place). The committee recommended: that individuals should have the right to have their personal information removed when they end a business relationship with a service provider or when the information was collected, used or disclosed contrary to PIPEDA. The Committee recommended that legislators look to the GDPR as a model as a means of clarifying the scope of such a right. As a minimum the committee concluded that young people should have the right to have information that is posted about them. The committee recommended: consider including a de-indexing framework in PIPEDA and that the right be expressly recognized in cases related to personal information posted online by individuals when they were minors. They also recommended that PIPEDA should be amended to include a clear definition of what is meant by the “destruction” of data, especially in contexts where complete destruction may be impractical (such as where traces of data may be stored in back-up storage).
The committee report also explored introducing, "privacy by design" into PIPEDA. This is to ensure privacy considerations in product development.
This is complementary to the recent Office of Privacy Commissioner draft policy position, Reputation and Privacy, which recommends de-linking among other items. The deadline for comments on that report is April 19. This was reported on previously in the IAJGS Records Alert. That report is found at:
