Definitions
For purposes of this Policy, the following definitions shall apply:
- “Consumer Health Data” means Personal Information that is linked or reasonably linkable to a consumer and that identifies the consumer's past, present, or future physical or mental health status. It includes any information that is regulated as “consumer health data” under Washington’s My Health My Data Act and similar health privacy laws in effect in other jurisdictions.
- “Personal Information” means information that identifies or is reasonably capable of being associated or linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer. “Personal Information” does not include non-identified information or information that is reported in the aggregate (provided that such aggregated information is not identifiable to a natural person).

- From other IQVIA entities;
- From our clients and business partners; and
- From our affiliates (as listed in the Appendix).
Please note that your use of our website and online service may allow third parties to collect your Consumer Health Data over time and across different Internet websites.
Sharing of Consumer Health Data
We may share any of the categories of Consumer Health Data described in the “Collection of Consumer Health Data” section, above.
We may share these categories of Consumer Health Data with the following categories of third parties and specific affiliates:

IQVIA may, for example, provide an individual's Consumer Health Data to a service provider to send to that individual the information that he or she requested.

In some cases, IQVIA may disclose Consumer Health Data (i) if required to do so by law, court order or legal process, (ii) in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, (iii) under the discovery process in litigation, or (iv) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity. IQVIA also may transfer Consumer Health Data when a material event concerning its business operation(s), assets or shares, such as purchase, disposal, merger, joint venture or acquisition, is proposed or occurs.
