Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

Effective:  May 17, 2024

This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) supplements MindGlow Health’s Privacy Policy and applies to the collection of “consumer health data” subject to the Washington My Health My Data Act (“MHMDA”) collected through our website and mobile application. This Policy does not apply to information or practices that are not subject to the MHMDA, such as publicly available information, personal health information governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and related regulations (“HIPAA”), which is governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, personal information governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, or job applicant and employee information.  

This Policy does not apply to provision of mental health and substance abuse services that we directly provide, as the personal information we collect in that context is subject to HIPAA and exempt from the MHMDA. This Policy applies to general website visitors and those who engage with MindGlow Health outside of receiving direct telehealth services from MindGlow Health professionals.
