Addendum: Consumer Health Data Policy
This notice supplements the Privacy Statement and applies to personal data defined as “consumer health data” subject to the Washington State My Health My Data Act (MHMDA), the Nevada Health Data Privacy Act (NHDPA), and the Connecticut Data Privacy Act.
Effective: July 2024
Various U.S. state laws provide protections for “consumer health data”. This addendum applies to such information by applicable law. Please see the “Exercising Your Rights” section below for instructions regarding how to exercise these rights.
“Consumer Health Data” is used in this addendum as it is defined in the Washington My Health My Data Act (MHMDA) and other laws applicable to the same or similar data. It generally includes any information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an individual and that identifies that individual’s past, present, or future physical or mental health status. Excluded from Consumer Health Data are certain types of health information, such as when we must collect, use, and disclose health information to meet our regulatory obligations or as part of a clinical trial. We do not collect, share, or sell Consumer Health Data except as described in this Privacy Policy and this Addendum or with your consent.
Categories of Consumer Health Data We Collect and Share
We process limited Consumer Health Data and may collect Consumer Health Data from various categories including, individual health conditions, treatment, diseases, or diagnosis; dynamics interventions, health-related surgeries or procedures; use or purchase of prescribed medication; bodily functions, vital signs and symptoms; diagnoses or diagnostic testing, treatment, or medication; genetic data; precise location information that could reasonably indicate a consumer’s attempt to acquire or receive health services or supplies (i.e., geofencing); and data that identifies a consumer seeking health care services. This information will always be collected within the framework of Ferrer's research activity, never through this website.
Sources of Consumer Health Data
We may collect Consumer Health Data directly from you, including when you submit information through our website, or other services or platforms we operate.
