Washington My Health My Data Act (MHMDA)since 3 lines
RCW 19.373 · Read the law's page
- Washington's My Health My Data Act reaches consumer health data broadly: personal information linked or reasonably linkable to a consumer that identifies their past, present, or future physical or mental health status, including inferences and non-health data that indicate a health status, such as location data suggesting an attempt to obtain reproductive or gender-affirming care.
- Do not implement a geofence around an entity that provides in-person health care services to identify or track consumers seeking care, collect their health data, or send them related notifications, messages, or advertisements.
- A violation of this Act is per se an unfair or deceptive act under the Washington Consumer Protection Act, which carries its own private right of action; a federal class action alleging SDK-based location and biometric data harvesting in violation of this Act is reported pending by secondary commentary, not independently confirmed against the court docket.
