Introduction
In accordance with Washington law, we have established this Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy under the My Health My Data Act. This document outlines how we at Fridababy, LLC (“the Company”) collect and utilize “consumer health data” from residents of Washington. This policy is applicable only in specific scenarios related to the collection and processing of consumer health data as defined by Washington law, which includes personal information that identifies your physical or mental health status. For the purposes of this policy, we will refer to this information as “CHD.”
This policy does not cover our general privacy practices. To understand how we handle personally identifiable information that falls outside the scope of the Washington My Health My Data Law, please refer to our comprehensive consumer privacy policy available on our website. Additionally, this policy does not pertain to information collected from employees or contractors and is incorporated into our Terms of Use.
Categories of Consumer Health Data We Collect
The CHD we collect varies based on your interactions with us. If you reach out regarding our products, you may provide certain CHD about yourself or your child. This may include details about health conditions, treatments, diagnoses, surgeries, or prescribed medications. We might also gather information regarding bodily functions, vital signs, symptoms, and diagnostic testing results.
Purpose of Collection and Use of Consumer Health Data
We utilize CHD to investigate any reports or complaints related to our products. Additionally, we may use CHD as allowed by your consent, to meet our legal obligations, and in other ways permitted by law.
Sources of Consumer Health Data
We collect CHD directly from you, particularly when you report a medical reaction to one of our products or submit information voluntarily. We may also obtain CHD from third parties. For instance, if you experience an adverse reaction, we may need to reach out to third parties involved in your treatment who might share relevant CHD with us, as permitted by law.
When We Share Consumer Health Data
We may share CHD for legally permitted reasons, including with vendors that provide necessary services related to the collected CHD. This may also involve sharing CHD with regulatory bodies or government agencies as required by law. Additionally, CHD may be shared with any successor to our business, such as during a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy. Under Washington law, your consent is not required for sharing in these situations.
Your Rights Under the Washington My Health My Data Law
Under Washington law, you hold certain rights regarding your CHD. These rights are contingent on our relationship with you and are subject to certain limitations. For instance, in cases of legal exceptions, we may be unable to fulfill your request. You can exercise your rights by contacting us through the appropriate channels. Your rights include:
- The right to confirm whether we are collecting, selling, or sharing CHD about you. You may request a list of third parties involved in this process.
