Section 657.14.1. Definitions.

As used in this chapter:

“Board” means the Iowa board of pharmacy examiners.

“Confidential record” means a record which is not available as a matter of right for examination and copying by members of the public under applicable provisions of law. Confidential records include records or information contained in records that the board is prohibited by law from making available for examination by members of the public, and records or information contained in records that are specified as confidential by Iowa Code section 22.7 or other provision of law, but that may be disclosed upon order of a court, order of the lawful custodian of the record, or order of another person duly authorized to release the record. Mere inclusion in a record of information declared confidential by an applicable provision of law does not necessarily make that entire record a confidential record.

“Custodian” means the executive secretary/director of the board.

“Open record” means a record other than a confidential record.

“Personally identifiable information” means information about or pertaining to an individual or business entity in a record which identifies the individual or entity and which is contained in a record system.

“Record” means the whole or a part of a “public record,” as defined in Iowa Code section 22.1, that is owned by or in the physical possession of the board.

“Record system” means any group of records under the control of the board from which a record may be retrieved by a personal identifier such as the name of an individual or business entity, number, symbol, or other unique retriever assigned to an individual or business entity.
