Consumer Health Privacy Policy

Fecha de vigencia: 26 de marzo de 2024

This Consumer Health Privacy Policy supplements our CVS Retail Privacy Policy and applies solely to (i) residents of the State of Washington and/or (ii) individuals whose consumer health data is collected in the State of Washington (collectively, “you” or “consumers”), and describes how CVS Pharmacy, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“CVS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect consumer health data from or about these consumers from any source, including its online services (e.g., CVS.com®, CVS® mobile applications) and in store.

Under the Washington My Health My Data Act ("MHMDA"), consumers have the right to receive certain disclosures regarding a business' processing of "consumer health data," as defined under the MHMDA, as well as certain rights with respect to processing of such consumer health data. The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning given to them in the MHMDA.

This Privacy Policy also does not apply to (i) CVS Health® health care services, such as pharmacy, medical and health plan services; and (ii) CVS customers that are not residents of the State of Washington or individuals whose consumer health data is not collected in the State of Washington. If you are looking for information about how CVS Health collects and uses information for any health care services, you should review the privacy policy provided for those services. If you are a CVS customer, but not a resident of the State of Washington nor had your consumer health data collected in the State of Washington, you should review our CVS Retail Privacy Policy. Please visit our Privacy Center at: https://www.cvshealth.com/privacy-center.html to view our other CVS Health privacy policies.
