Is CVS rewards program complying with California law?

From the article:

CVS Caremark insists that it’s just complying with federal law by informing customers that their medical information could be “redisclosed” if they sign up for the company’s prescription-drug reward program.

Privacy experts, though, question whether CVS is complying with state law.

“California’s privacy law is stricter than federal law,” said Charles Googooian, a La Canada Flintridge lawyer who specializes in medical-privacy issues. “It doesn’t seem like CVS is complying with either the spirit or the letter of state law.”
