WilmerHale’s Post

It was so great to discuss Washington’s My Health My Data Act with Keir Lamont, someone whose work on US privacy law I really admire. This law is a very big deal and I think some elements of the broad drafting and strict requirements could cause some serious compliance headaches. But Keir reminded me of how important the MHMDA's objectives are. If you've got any operations in Washington state, you owe it to your company to check with it's "collecting" 'consumer health data" before this law takes effect. As I discuss with Keir, those terms are very broadly defined. Thanks to Privado.ai for supporting this special episode of The Privacy Corner. https://lnkd.in/gUY7ZvvB

With the rapid advancement of health technologies, robust data privacy protections are more critical than ever. Washington's My Health My Data Act (MHMD) and Nevada's Senate Bill 370 (SB 370), both effective March 31, 2024, have set the mark and are leading the way. ☑ MHMD requires opt-in consent for collecting, sharing, or selling health data, applies broadly to any entity handling such data, and includes comprehensive consumer rights. ☑ SB 370 mirrors this approach, emphasizing affirmative consent, transparent data practices, and geofencing restrictions, targeting entities doing business in Nevada. These laws set a precedent for other states, underscoring the importance of explicit consent, consumer rights, and transparency in health data practices. https://lnkd.in/eqQiHaiR #DataPrivacy #HealthData #PrivacyLaw #MHMD #SB370 #ConsumerRights #HealthTech #PrivacyProtection #ConsentManagement #WashingtonState #Nevada
