This Washington Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) supplements our Eyeconic Privacy Policy and is provided in accordance with the Washington My Health My Data Act (MHMDA). This Privacy Policy applies solely to (i) residents of the state of Washington and/or (ii) individuals whose consumer health data, (as defined under the MHMDA) is collected in the state of Washington (collectively “you” or “your”), and describes how consumer health data is collected, shared or used by Eyeconic Inc.
