Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

AdviceBuddyAI, Inc. · Last updated: 6th November 2026

This policy explains how AdviceBuddy handles "consumer health data" as defined by Washington's My Health My Data Act and similar state laws. It adds to our Privacy Policy.

The consumer health data we collect

  • Your answers to the check-in questions about low mood, anxiety and stress, and about thoughts of self-harm.
  • Your 1–100 readings, levels and whether an answer suggested you may be at risk.
  • The activity plans we suggest from those results.
  • The fact that you use a wellness service, and your consent records.

Where it comes from

Directly from you, when you take a check-in. We don't buy health data or collect it from others.

Why we collect and use it

  • To score your check-ins and show you your readings and history.
  • To suggest calming activities and a plan, and show crisis resources when needed.
  • To give an employer anonymous team totals (groups of 5 or more only), if your employer provides AdviceBuddy.

We collect it only with your consent, given before your first check-in, and use it only for these purposes.

Who we share it with

  • Service providers (processors) that store or process it for us under contract: Supabase (database) and Vercel (hosting).
  • Anthropic, only with your separate, optional consent (Premium plans): your three readings, level and focus area, to word your activity plan. Never your answers, name or email.
  • Your employer receives only anonymous totals, never your own data.

We don't sell consumer health data, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.

Your rights

  • Confirm whether we collect, share or sell your consumer health data, and see it (Settings → Privacy → Download my data).
  • Get a list of the third parties and affiliates we have shared it with, and how to contact them.
  • Withdraw your consent (Settings → Privacy).
  • Have it deleted (Settings → Delete account, or email us). We also ask our processors to delete it.

To use these rights, use the settings above or email privacy@advicebuddy.ai. We'll respond within 45 days. If we turn down your request, you can appeal by replying to our answer; we will respond to an appeal within 45 days and tell you how to contact the Washington Attorney General if you are not satisfied.
