This Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice (CHD Notice) supplements our Privacy Notice for Buyer Features and Big Apple Payment Pay.
This CHD Notice applies only to personal information that may be considered “Consumer Health Data” (“CHD”) under the My Health My Data Act (“MHMDA”) in Washington and Nevada’s Consumer Health Data Privacy law (“NV CHDP”) (as well as any similar state laws in effect). This CHD Notice does not apply to “protected health information” (“PHI”) subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) that Big Apple Payment processes as a Business Associate on behalf of our Sellers. For information on how we process PHI collected or received on behalf of your Sellers, please contact those Sellers for information on their privacy practices.

- Information that could identify your attempt to seek health care services or information, including the healthcare providers you have considered when you search for Sellers with Big Apple Payment Buyer Features.

How We Use Your Consumer Health Data
We may use the CHD we have obtained about you when you use the Big Apple Payment Buyer Services for the reasons outlined in our Privacy Notice for Buyer Features and Big Apple Payment Pay. Generally, we may use your CHD as reasonably necessary to provide you with the Services, including processing payments or other transactions with your Sellers, facilitating appointment bookings, displaying your information in your Big Apple Payment Profile (or other Big Apple Payment account), and delivering digital receipts. We may also use your CHD to personalize your use of our Big Apple Payment Buyer Services. We may also use your CHD for our internal business purposes, including troubleshooting our Services, maintaining the integrity of our Services, enforcing our agreements, and complying with our legal obligations.
When and With Whom We Share Your Consumer Health Data
As described in the Privacy Notice for Buyer Features and Big Apple Payment Pay, we may disclose your CHD as follows:
- With your Sellers as necessary to complete any transaction or booking or as otherwise necessary for the Seller to provide the health care products or services you request.
- With our service providers that help us to provide, maintain, or improve the Services.
- If we do any business transfers, (including as part of a corporate merger, consolidation, or restructuring), we may disclose your CHD to any subsequent owner, co-owner, or operator.
- If we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with any legal obligations, exercise our rights, enforce our terms, or protect our Services.
- With your consent, such as when you direct us to share your CHD or authorize a third-party application or website to access your CHD.
