They definitely fall under HIPPA. I know, because I get a prescription for my dog at the pharmacy. They gave MY DOG a copy of the HIPPA statement (I had to sign it, of course.) What was I supposed to do, read it to her? Let her eat it, as she really likes to eat paper? Sheesh.
But yes, they definitely broke privacy laws by shouting out like that. That is more than incidental disclosure, IMO.
