    Explanation
    Individually identifiable health information may not be sold because it is protected by privacy laws and regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States.

    False. Just because a person has the ability to access facility or company systems or applications does not automatically give them the right to view any information contained in that system or application. Access rights and permissions are typically granted based on job roles, responsibilities, and a need-to-know basis.
