The Bermuda Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), enacted in 2016, is a comprehensive data protection law designed to regulate organizations' use of personal information in Bermuda. Its primary aim is to safeguard individuals' privacy rights while enabling responsible and secure handling of personal information.

This Act applies to any organization in Bermuda that uses personal information, either fully or partially through automated means, and to non-automated use of personal information that is part of or intended to be part of a structured filing system, except where otherwise specified by the Act.

The Act received Royal Assent on July 27, 2016, and will fully come into effect on January 1, 2025.
