We reserve the right to make changes to this Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. Any changes will be reflected in a revised Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy posted on our website: www.thedrz.com (the “Website”) and we will alert you that there has been a change by updating the “Last Updated” date displayed on the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.

“Consumer Health Data” is defined for purposes of this Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy and the Consumer Health Data Privacy Laws as 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 does not include: (a) publicly available information, such as information from government records, information we reasonably believe you made available to the general public, or unrestricted information you have disclosed or made available; (b) deidentified or aggregated consumer information we maintain in deidentified form and do not attempt to re identify except as required or permitted by law; (c) health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”); and (d) personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FRCA”) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”).

We may collect your Consumer Health Data in a variety of ways, including when you provide information directly to us through Website, applications, or services (“Services”).

If you prefer that we do not receive your Consumer Health Data, please don’t submit it to us. This means you shouldn’t participate in the applicable activities on or use the applicable features available of our Services. Your use of our Services is strictly your choice. By not participating, you may limit your ability to take full advantage of the Services, but we never discriminate on the basis of how much information you provide.

We collect, use, and disclose the above-described Consumer Health Data to offer our Services to you, as directed by you. We may disclose Consumer Health Data with our trusted service providers, such as website hosting vendors and technology support providers, to provide our Services to you.

Subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, Consumer Health Data Privacy Laws provide you with certain rights you may exercise:

• The Right to Confirm. You may request that we confirm whether we collect, share, or sell your Consumer Health Data.
• The Right to Access and Request Copies. You may request to access or request a copy of your Consumer Health Data, including a list of all third parties and affiliates with whom we shared or sold the Consumer Health Data.
• The Right to Correct. You may request that we correct your Consumer Health Data.
• The Right to Withdraw Consent. You may request to withdraw your consent from our collection and sharing of your Consumer Health Data.
• The Right to Delete. You may request that we delete your Consumer Health Data.

In order to exercise any of the rights detailed in this Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy, please contact us at privacy@thedrz.com. Exercising your rights under this Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy will not result in any discrimination by us. We will treat you the same as any other user.

We may require additional information from you to help us verify your identity and state or country of residence, and to process your request. The verification steps may vary depending on the sensitivity of the information and whether you have an account with us. If we are unable to verify your identity, we may deny your requests. You can designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. However, we will require written proof of the agent’s permission to do so and verify your identity directly.

If you make a request to exercise any of the applicable rights and we are unable to comply with your request, or if you disagree with or dispute our decision, you may request to appeal our decision. To appeal any data rights decision, please contact us by email at privacy@thedrz.com with the subject line “Data Rights Request Appeal.” If you are still not satisfied with our response after you complete the appeal process with us, you may file a complaint with the Washington state Attorney General through their complaint filing system, available here.
