Global Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
Global Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
This Global Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and applies to all users, regardless of jurisdiction. It is designed to comply with global data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union (EU), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable global privacy regulations.
Collection and Use of Consumer Health Data
We do not actively collect "consumer health data" as defined by global privacy laws, nor do we use any data to identify or make inferences about your physical or mental health status. However, due to the broad definition of "consumer health data" in certain jurisdictions, some information we collect may be considered "consumer health data" under laws in those regions. The primary purpose for collecting this data is to provide and enhance our services, facilitate connections between users, and ensure a smooth user experience.
How We Disclose Consumer Health Data
We may share consumer health data with the following categories of third parties when necessary for the purposes outlined above:
- Other Users: Information you voluntarily share (e.g., your public profile) may be visible to other users of the platform.
- Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating our service, including those providing data hosting, maintenance, customer support, security, and other services.
- Affiliates: We may share information with affiliates that help with data processing operations, such as security, customer service, fraud prevention, and compliance.
- Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale, bankruptcy, or other corporate restructuring, we may disclose your data as part of that transaction.
- Legal and Regulatory Compliance: We may disclose your data to law enforcement, regulatory authorities, or other legal entities to comply with legal obligations (e.g., court orders, subpoenas, government investigations) or to protect the safety of individuals or the public. This also includes responding to requests from authorities or assisting in the detection and prevention of crime.
