Washington consumer health data policy
Who this is for
This policy is required by Washington state’s My Health My Data Act. It sits alongside our general privacy policy and says the same thing in the terms that law uses: we don’t collect your health data at all.
What counts as consumer health data here
Your journal entries, memory space content and safety plan relate to your mental health and wellbeing, so they likely count as consumer health data under this law, even though none of it ever leaves your device or reaches us.
What we collect, and why this policy can stay short
We don’t collect, receive or store your consumer health data on any server, in any circumstance, in the current version of the app. It is stored only on your own device. Because of that, most of what this law asks us to disclose about collecting, sharing and selling health data doesn’t apply, because none of those things happen.
Consent
Because we don’t collect this data, there is no collection to consent to. If a future version of the app ever changes this, for example an optional sync between your devices, we’ll ask for your clear, separate opt-in consent before any collection begins. It won’t be bundled into general terms.
Selling or sharing your health data
We do not sell your consumer health data, and we do not share it with anyone, because we never receive it. That stays true unless a future feature changes how the app works, and if it does, this policy will be updated first, before that feature ships.
Your rights under this law
You have the right to confirm whether we collect your consumer health data (we don’t), to withdraw consent, and to have your data deleted. Because your data lives only on your device, you can delete it immediately and completely yourself, at any time, in the app’s Settings, without sending us a request.
Geofencing
We do not use geofencing near health care facilities or anywhere else, and we don’t collect real-time location at all. Where the app shows a local crisis line, it uses your phone’s general region setting, never your location.
