Explanation
The sectoral privacy model applies privacy regulations to specific industries or sectors rather than broadly across all areas. In this scenario, the regulation covers only the health market, which is the defining characteristic of a sectoral approach. By contrast, a comprehensive model applies uniform privacy laws across all sectors. A co-regulatory model involves both government and industry bodies sharing enforcement responsibilities. A self-regulatory model relies on industries to create and enforce their own standards without direct government mandate.
