Consumer Health Data Privacy Statement
Last Updated: June 24, 2024.
This Privacy Statement sets out the categories of consumer health data that ViralGains collects, uses, and shares about Washington and Nevada residents. This Privacy Statement supplements our Privacy Policy.
Collection of Consumer Health Data
For purposes of this Privacy Statement, consumer health data means personal information that is linked or reasonably linkable to a consumer, and that identifies the consumer’s past, present, or future physical or mental health status.
Consumer health data includes any health-related information you provide when responding to questions in the surveys we serve you. This may include information about your health-related conditions, symptoms, status, diagnoses, testing, or treatments (including health-related surgeries, procedures, medications, or other interventions); use of prescribed medications; gender-affirming care information; and/or reproductive and sexual health information.
ViralGains’ Role
We collect, use and share consumer health data on behalf of our customers, in our capacity as a “processor,” and our customers are the “regulated entities.”
Sources of Consumer Health Data
We collect consumer health data from you when you respond to health-related questions in the surveys we serve you and from our business customers, advertising partners, and third-party data providers.
How We Use and Share Consumer Health Data
We collect, use, and share consumer health data with your consent, which you provide by submitting your responses to our surveys.
We may use and share consumer health data to operate, manage, and maintain our business, to provide our services, and to accomplish our business purposes and objectives, including, for example, to undertake quality and safety assurance measures; conduct risk and security control and monitoring; detect and prevent fraud; perform accounting, audit, and other internal functions, such as internal investigations; comply with law, legal process, and internal policies; maintain records; and exercise and defend legal claims.
We may also use consumer health data and share it with a third party in the context of any reorganization, financing transaction, merger, sale, joint venture, partnership, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
We may share consumer health data with the following categories of third parties:
- Our business customers, which are the “regulated entities” on whose behalf we collect the information;
- Our service providers;
- Public and governmental authorities; and
- Other third parties. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to provide consumer health data to other third parties, for example, to comply with applicable law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of us, you, and others.
