CONSUMER HEALTH DATA PRIVACY POLICY

Effective: February 19, 2025

This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes how the Preventive Measures Foundation, Inc. (“PM Foundation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares consumer health data (as that term is defined by applicable state law). We ask that you review it carefully. This Policy describes how we treat consumer health data collected by or on behalf of PM Foundation when you use our website located at www.thepmfoundation.org or any other websites and platforms where this Policy is referenced or found (collectively, the “Site”), in our email messages to you relating to the Site, and in our offline interactions where this Policy is referenced. By providing us with consumer health data or using or accessing our Site, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your consumer health data, as described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not provide us with consumer health data and do not access or use the Site or our services.

This Policy supplements the PM Foundation Privacy Policy and applies solely to consumer health data as defined in applicable law, as described above.

1. Consumer health data we may collect.

We (and the vendors and other parties we use to perform services on our behalf) may collect the following categories of consumer health data; the categories of consumer health data we collect from or about you specifically (if any) will depend on the context of your interactions with PM Foundation and the choices you make:

Information about your health conditions, symptoms, status, diagnoses, testing, or treatments (including surgeries, procedures, medications, or other interventions): We may collect this information, for example, if you provide this information when contacting us or when participating in our CSW program;
Information that identifies a consumer seeking health care services; and
Other information that identifies your past or present health status.

2. Sources of consumer health data.

We may collect consumer health data directly from you. For example, we may collect consumer health data you provide relating to your health condition when you participate in the CSW program. Additionally, we and our vendors may use cookies and related technologies to passively collect information from and across your devices when you interact with our Site, our emails, or other online content. For more information about how we use information that is collected passively, please see our Privacy Policy. Finally, we may acquire consumer health data about you from other sources, such as healthcare professionals. We may also combine information about you that we receive from other parties with other information about you that we collect when you use the Site or that you choose to share with us, and this combined information may in some instances be considered consumer health data.

3. Purposes for which we may collect and use consumer health data.

We may collect and use consumer health data to:

Provide our services, such as the CSW program;
Provide support and respond to your inquiries, and to contact and communicate with you when necessary;
Review the usage and operations of our Site, develop new services, improve the Site, and conduct research and analyses to enhance or improve our content and services;
Prevent, detect, and investigate fraud, cyber incidents, or other illegal or harmful activity and for other security, safety, compliance, and due diligence purposes; and
Create data in an aggregated format that may be used for analytical and demographic purposes.

We will obtain your consent or authorization where required by applicable law in connection with any of the uses described above. Additionally, we may use consumer health data for other purposes for which we give you choices and/or obtain your consent or authorization as required by law. See Section 6 below for more details on the controls and choices you may have.

4. How we may share consumer health data.

We may share your consumer health data for the purposes described above. Additionally, we may share personal information, including consumer health data, with your consent or as reasonably necessary to complete any transaction or provide any service you have requested or authorized, as described above.

We may share your consumer health data with your health care professionals and our business partners.

We may also disclose your consumer health data (a) to vendors that provide business, professional, or technical support functions for us, help us operate our organization and the Site, or administer activities on our behalf; (b) to comply with law, or to respond to subpoenas, judicial processes, or government requests and investigations, or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law; (c) to protect the security of our Site, servers, network systems, databases, and organization; (d) as necessary, if we believe that there has been a violation of our Terms of Use, any other legal document or contract related to our services, or the rights of any third party; and (e) to another entity that acquires or intends to acquire us or any of our assets in connection with a sale or bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding.

5. Third party collection of consumer health data.

Third parties may be able to collect consumer health data from you over time and across different websites depending on your browser, browser add-ons, and associated permissions you set on your devices.

6. Your privacy rights.
