Washington State Supplement | Effective Date: May 19, 2026
This notice supplements our general Privacy Policy and addresses the rights of Washington state residents under the Washington My Health My Data Act ("MHMD Act," RCW Chapter 70.372), effective March 31, 2024. It applies specifically to personal data that qualifies as "consumer health data" under Washington law.
Washington law defines "consumer health data" broadly to include any personal information that identifies or is reasonably linkable to a consumer and relates to their health status, condition, treatment, or health-related behaviors — including data that is derived or inferred from non-health data. Because of this broad definition, much of the information we collect in the course of providing clinical services may qualify as consumer health data.
Examples of consumer health data we may collect include:
We do not implement or use geofencing technology to identify, track, or collect consumer health data from individuals entering a facility that provides in-person health care services, including but not limited to hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, or mental health facilities, as prohibited under RCW 70.372.060.
We collect consumer health data primarily through information you provide directly when creating an account, completing clinical intake forms, or interacting with our platform. We may also collect limited consumer health data through cookies and analytics tools where you have provided consent through our Cookie Consent tool. We do not collect consumer health data through cookies without your affirmative consent.
We use consumer health data to coordinate and deliver the healthcare services you request, including facilitating provider consultations, processing prescriptions, and managing your clinical records. We may also use it for quality improvement, regulatory compliance, and fraud prevention.
We will not use consumer health data for purposes beyond those disclosed in this notice or our Privacy Policy without first obtaining your affirmative consent.
We share consumer health data only to the extent necessary to deliver the services you request or as otherwise permitted or required by law. We require your affirmative consent before (i) collecting your consumer health data, (ii) sharing it with third parties beyond what is necessary to provide the Services, and (iii) any sale of such data.
We do not sell consumer health data. We do not share consumer health data for targeted advertising purposes. When we share consumer health data with service providers, we do so under written data sharing agreements that prohibit those parties from using your data for any purpose other than performing services on our behalf.
Categories of parties with whom we may share consumer health data:
Washington state residents have the following rights with respect to their consumer health data, subject to certain exceptions:
Note: Certain rights may be subject to exceptions where retention or use is required by law, including applicable medical record retention obligations.
