This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy (“Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy”) supplements the information in the Tempus Privacy Policy. It applies to Washington consumers who interact with us and applies to personal information defined as “consumer health data” subject to the Washington My Health My Data Act and individuals who may be deemed consumers under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.
What Does This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy Cover?
This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy describes what consumer health data we collect, how we collect and use it, who we disclose it to and why, and the choices you may have regarding our use or disclosure of your consumer health data. This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy only applies to consumer health data, which is a subset of personal information that identifies your past, present, or future physical or mental health status. Examples of consumer health data are provided below.
What Is Not Covered in This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy?
This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy does not apply to any personal information other than consumer health data subject to the Washington My Health My Data Act or other applicable U.S. state privacy laws. Consumer health data does not include information generated by your interactions with us, such as browsing or purchasing, that does not identify your health status. Consumer health data also does not include publicly available information, protected health information subject to HIPAA, or personal information that has been deidentified data is not consumer health data. To the extent we process de-identified information, we will maintain and use the information in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify the information unless permitted by applicable law.
