Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice

Updated: July 24, 2024

This notice supplements the Privacy Policy of Veterans Nexus Medical Consulting (the “Company” or “we” or “us”) and applies to personal data defined as “consumer health data” subject to the Washington State My Health My Data Act (MHMDA). This notice describes the following:

• The categories of consumer health data collected;
• How we use the consumer health data;
• With whom we share the consumer health data; and
• How consumers can withdraw consent from future collection or sharing of their health data.

Categories of consumer health data collected

In order to perform our consulting services, we will request, and you can choose to provide, health-related information and medical records that we need to review and prepare medical opinion letters for veterans to use in filing for Veterans Affairs disability and compensation.

We may learn health-related information if it is offered to us voluntarily when a user contacts us via email, phone or text.

How we use the consumer health data

We use the health data that you voluntarily provide to perform our services, including filing for Veterans Affairs disability and compensation.

We may use the data on an anonymized and de-identified basis for legitimate business purposes, including for analysis, scholarship, monetization, research and development.

With whom we share the consumer health data

We may share your personal data to third parties who perform services on our behalf, including without limitation our web hosts or designers, logistics providers, credit or other payment card processors, collection companies, and professional advisors. In addition, we may share your health information with licensed independent contractor physicians, physician assistants, psychologists, or other healthcare providers and professionals who may review medical records to assist the Company in preparing expert opinions, as necessary, for use in the preparation of Veterans Affairs benefits claims.

We may disclose information if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary by law or the legal process, to protect and defend our or others’ interests or property, or to enforce agreements you enter into with us.  

We may share your data with a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, liquidation or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock with such third party.

We may share aggregated and de-identified information with third parties (within or outside your country of residence) for any legitimate business purposes, including analytical, monetization, research and development.

How consumers can withdraw consent from future collection or sharing of their health data

The provision of your health data is entirely voluntarily.  To prevent future collection or sharing of data, you may decline to enter into a contract for Company’s consulting services.  Please note that once the health data is de-identified and aggregated with the health data of other users, it may continue to be shared, but in that event it no longer identifies you. You may contact us at service@veteransnexus.com with any questions or concerns about the collection and sharing of your health data.
