Washington’s My Health My Data Act Goes Into Effect
Washington’s My Health My Data Act is now in effect and significantly expands the scope of regulated information to any “consumer health data” that identifies a consumer's past, present, or future physical or mental health status. The Act has broad applicability for businesses, including non-profits, that offer goods or services to Washington residents, and there is no applicability threshold. Among the requirements is the posting of a separate consumer health privacy notice on the business’s website.
