Washington Health Data Privacy Policy

Depending on the specific service or product offering that you use or receive and your interaction with us, we may collect certain personal information about you that identifies your past, present, or future physical or mental health status (“health data”). Examples of health data we might collect include:

• Information about your health conditions, symptoms, status, diseases, diagnoses, testing, or treatments (including surgeries, procedures, use or purchase of medications, or other social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions);
• Measurements of bodily functions, vital signs, symptoms, or other health characteristics;
• Information regarding gender-affirming care or reproductive or sexual health;
• Data that could identify you as an individual seeking health care services; and
• Any inferences of the above categories of health data that we may infer or derive from non-health related information.

We may collect these categories of health data directly from you, automatically when you use the Site, and from other sources, such as public databases and other third parties.
 

As described further in the How We Use Personal Data and Additional State Disclosures Sections of our Privacy Policy, we may use this health data to serve you; to connect you with third parties; to validate your ability to access and/or use certain products, services and information; to provide and improve products and services; to protect patients and consumers; in accordance with special program terms; to operate, manage, and maintain our business; to respond to your inquiries and fulfill your requests; to send administrative information to you; to send you certain marketing communications; to personalize certain experiences; and to facilitate social sharing or messages services when available. We may also use your health data for our business purposes and objectives, including, data analysis; audits; developing new products; improving existing products; identifying usage trends; determining the effectiveness of promotional campaigns; preventing fraud; and expanding our business activities. Additionally, we may use this health data to comply with applicable law, legal process, respond to requests from public and government authorities, and to protect our rights, operations, and enforce our terms of service.

We primarily use your health data for these purposes in connection with providing a product or service you have requested. In some circumstances (e.g., where the purpose is not to provide a product or service you requested), we may collect and use health data with your consent.

Additionally, we may deidentify or anonymize health data so that it cannot reasonably be reidentified by us or by another person, and we may use this deidentified data for any reason permitted by applicable law. If we deidentify information that was originally based on health data, we maintain and use that information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the data, except as otherwise permitted under applicable law.

We may share these categories of health data with third parties, such as other companies and individuals we retain to perform services on our behalf and other companies and individuals with whom we collaborate with respect to particular products or services (collectively “Providers”) and our affiliates, as described in How We Disclose Your Personal Data Section and Additional State Disclosures Section of our Privacy Policy. We may also disclose health data in connection with a business transfer (such as selling or buying a business unit), to comply with the law, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our customers, the public, Pfizer or others.
