Practice question
A clinic keeps a patient's name together with her laboratory results. How should the health data be classified under RA 10173?
- As sensitive personal information because it concerns an identifiable person's health.
- As nonpersonal information because the clinic owns the computer.
- As ordinary machine data because the results are digital.
- As sensitive only if the patient is a public official.
- As outside every statutory category because no photograph is included.
