6. Your Rights

To the extent afforded to you under MHMD, SB370, and CDPA, we will honor the following rights regarding your health data as a Consumer:

We may require identification verification before granting any request to access, withdraw consent, or delete your Consumer Health Data.  We take special precautions to help ensure the security of your information when processing requests.  We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Consumer Health Data if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the Consumer Health Data relates to you.  We will only use consumer health data collected in connection with a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
