Abstract:
We all know personal health data is increasingly valuable; however, what is left behind is who can legitimately claim the ownership of the data and what rights and interest the owner can claim. A Taiwan Constitutional Court decision rendered on August 12, 2022 on one of the largest health databases in the world – the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database – provides us a real case on how the information privacy and data ownership issues, such as secondary uses, right to opt-out, and good governance mechanisms, can be argued, proposed, and regulated.
