ADDITION TO PRIVACY POLICY

Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

This notice supplements our Privacy Policy and applies to personal information defined as “consumer health data” subject to the Washington State My Health My Data Act (MHMDA), the Nevada Health Data Privacy Act (NHDPA), Connecticut’s Data Privacy Act or other applicable state consumer health privacy law.

Note: This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy applies only to our public-facing website and Digital Services. It does not apply to information collected through our Platform, which is governed by separate terms and our customers’ Notice of Privacy Practices under HIPAA.

Consumer Health Data We Collect As described in the Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It section of the Privacy Policy, the data we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the choices you make (including your privacy settings), the Digital Services you use, your location, and applicable law. Because consumer health data is defined very broadly under state consumer health privacy laws, many of the categories of data we collect could also be considered consumer health data.

Examples of consumer health data may include:

• Information about health-related conditions, symptoms, status, diagnoses, testing, or treatments (including surgeries, procedures, medications, or other interventions). For example, we may collect such information through contact forms, surveys, or other communication with you when you inquire about our products and services.

• 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.

Sources of Consumer Health Data

As described further in the Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It section of the Privacy Policy, we collect personal data (which may include consumer health data) directly from you, from your interactions with our Digital Services, from third parties, and from publicly available sources.

Why We Collect and Use Consumer Health Data

We collect and use consumer health data for the purposes described in the How We Use Your Personal Information section of the Privacy Policy. Primarily, we collect and use consumer health data as reasonably necessary to provide you with the Digital

Services you have requested or authorized. This may include delivering and operating the Digital Services and their features, personalization of certain Digital Service features, ensuring the secure and reliable operation of the Digital Services and the systems that support them, troubleshooting and improving the Digital Services, and other essential business operations that support the provision of the Digital Services (such as analyzing our performance, meeting our legal obligations, developing our workforce, and conducting research and development). We may use consumer health data for other purposes for which we give you choices and/or obtain your consent as required by law – for example, for communications about our products and services. See the Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Information section of the Privacy Policy and the How to Exercise Your Rights section below for more details on the controls and choices you may have.

Our Sharing of Consumer Health Data

We may share each of the categories of consumer health data described above for the purposes described in the Disclosure of Your Information section of the Privacy Policy. In particular, we may share personal data, including consumer health data, with your consent or as reasonably necessary to complete any transaction or provide any Digital Service you have requested or authorized, as described above. For example, we share your content with third parties when you tell us to do so. And we may disclose data when we believe that doing so is necessary to comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process.

Third Parties With Which We Share Consumer Health Data

As necessary for the purposes described above, we share consumer health data with the following categories of third parties:

Service providers. Vendors or agents (“processors”) working on our behalf may access consumer health data for the purposes described above. For example, companies we've hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and Digital Services may need access to data to provide those functions.

Business partners. We may share consumer health data with other companies, for example, where you use a Digital Service that is co-branded and jointly operated with another company, or where you use our Digital Services to interact with another company.

Financial institutions & payment processors. When you make a purchase or enter into a financial transaction, we will disclose payment and transactional data to banks and other entities as necessary for payment processing, fraud prevention, credit risk reduction, analytics, or other related financial services.

Parties to a corporate transaction. We may disclose consumer health data as part of a corporate transaction or proceeding such as a merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, or a transfer, divestiture, or sale of all or a portion of our business or assets.

Affiliates. We enable access to data across our subsidiaries, affiliates, and related companies, for example, where we share common data systems or where access helps us to provide our Digital Services and operate our business.

Government agencies. As described in our Privacy Policy, we disclose data to law enforcement or other government agencies when we believe doing so is necessary to comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process.

Other third parties. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to provide data to other third parties, for example, to comply with the law or to protect our rights or those of our customers.

Sale or Sharing of Consumer Health Data

We do not sell consumer health data as defined by applicable state consumer health privacy laws. We do not share consumer health data for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising purposes.

How to Exercise Your Rights

If you are covered by the MHMDA, the NHDPA, or other applicable consumer health privacy law, then you may have certain rights with respect to consumer health data, including:

• Right to Access: You have the right to confirm whether we are collecting or sharing your consumer health data and to access such data.

• Right to Delete: You have the right to request deletion of your consumer health data, subject to certain exceptions

• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we process consumer health data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

You can request to exercise such rights using the contact methods described in the Contact Information section of our Privacy Policy. You can also access and manage some of your data through your account settings if you have created an account with us.

How We Respond to Requests: We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law (typically 45 days, with a possible extension). We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

Appeals Process: If your request to exercise a right is denied, you may appeal that decision by contacting us at hello@genova-health.com. If your appeal is unsuccessful, you can raise a concern or lodge a complaint with:

• The Washington State Attorney General at www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint
