Human Biobank Management Act Article 3

Definitions:1.Biological specimen: This term refers to derivatives, such as the cells, tissues, organs, or body fluids, which are collected from a human body or produced by experimental operations and are sufficient to provide adequate information for identifying the participant’s biometrics.2.Participant: This term refers to any natural person who provides his/her biological specimens, personal information, and other related data and information to the Biobank.3.Biomedical research: This term refers to medical research on basic biometrics, such as genes.4.Biobank: For the purpose of biomedical research, the Biobank contains participants’ biological specimens, natural persons’information and other related data and information based on human population or specific groups. These biological specimens, derivatives, or relevant data are stored in the Biobank without delinking websites for the need of follow-up applications.5.Coding: Codes are used to substitute for the participant’s personal information, such as name, ID card number, and medical records number, to protect his/her privacy and identity.6.Encryption: This term refers to the process of making the participant’s personal data and information unidentifiable.7.Delinkage: This term refers to the operation of permanently disabling encoded biological specimens, data, and information from being linked to or matching them with the participant's personal data or information.8.Operator: This term refers to a person that establishes and manages the Biobank.9.Transfer: This term refers to the process where an operator transfers the Biobank and the rights and obligations between the operator and the participant to a third party.

一、生物檢體:指自人體採集之細胞、組織、器官、體液或經實驗操作所產生,足以辨識參與者生物特徵之衍生物質。
二、參與者:指提供生物檢體與個人資料及其他有關資料、資訊予生物資料庫之自然人。
三、生物醫學研究:指與基因等生物基本特徵有關之醫學研究。
四、生物資料庫:指為生物醫學研究之目的,以人口群或特定群體為基礎,內容包括參與者之生物檢體、自然人資料及其他有關之資料、資訊;且其生物檢體、衍生物或相關資料、資訊為後續運用之需要,以非去連結方式保存之資料庫。
五、編碼:指以代碼取代參與者姓名、國民身分證統一編號、病歷號等可供辨識之個人資訊,使達到難以辨識個人身分之作業方式。
六、加密:指將足以辨識參與者個人身分之資料、訊息,轉化為無可辨識之過程。
七、去連結:指於生物檢體、資料、資訊編碼後,使其與可供辨識參與者之個人資料、資訊,永久無法以任何方式連結、比對之作業。
八、設置者:指設置、管理生物資料庫者。
九、移轉:指設置者將生物資料庫及其與參與者間之權利義務讓予第三人。
