1. Consumer Health Data We Collect

Our collection, use, disclosure, and processing of consumer health data about individuals will vary depending upon the circumstances. This notice is intended to describe our overall privacy and data protection practices concerning consumer health data.

Examples of consumer health data we collect may include:

4. Our Sharing of Consumer Health Data

MHMDA provides certain rights with respect to consumer health data, including rights to access, delete, or withdraw consent relating to such data, subject to certain exceptions. You can request to exercise these rights by submitting a request through this link or emailing us at privacy@tranzact.net.
