Consumer health data we collect

As described in this section of the Carrot Privacy Notice, we collect Personal Information about you when you voluntarily submit information to us when you use our Service. We also collect Personal Information through automated means, as explained in more detail here, and from third parties, as described here.  Many of the categories of data we collect may be considered “Consumer Health Data,” since this term is defined very broadly under the MHMDA.

Examples of Consumer Health Data may include, but are not limited to:

  • Information about your health-related conditions, such as your interest in various fertility health and family-forming options, any relevant diagnoses you may have received, and related health information.
  • Precise location information that could reasonably indicate your attempt to acquire or receive health services or supplies.
  • Information that could identify your attempt to seek health care services or information, including services that allow you to assess, measure, improve, or learn about your or another person’s health.
  • Other information that may be used to infer or derive data related to the above or other health information.
