Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy applies to Compass Soul Counseling and Wellness (operated by Compass Soul Counseling and Wellness, PLLC) and describes how we handle "consumer health data" under Washington's My Health My Data Act.

This policy covers consumer health data collected through our website—for example, information that could indicate you are seeking mental-health support. It does not cover the clinical records of established therapy clients, which are protected health information handled under HIPAA and Washington's health care information laws and addressed in the Notice of Privacy Practices you receive when care begins.

What consumer health data is

Consumer health data is information that is linked or reasonably linkable to you and that reflects your past, present, or future physical or mental health, including the health-related services you seek or receive.

What we collect, and why

Through our website we may collect a limited amount of information that could be considered consumer health data—such as your name and contact details and any description you provide of the support you are looking for when you submit an inquiry or join our mailing list. We collect this only to respond to you, coordinate care, and send communications you have requested.

Where this information comes from

We collect this information directly from you when you fill out a form, send a message, or subscribe to our list. We do not purchase consumer health data or obtain it from data brokers.

What we share, and with whom

We do not sell consumer health data, and we will not share it for advertising. We share it only with the service providers that help us operate the practice and website, and only as needed for them to perform their role:

  • Our practice-management and scheduling platform
  • Our website host
  • Our email and newsletter service

We may also disclose information if required by law. We do not use geofencing around any location that provides in-person health care to identify, track, or collect data from consumers.

Your rights

If you are a Washington resident, you have the right to:

  • Confirm whether we collect, share, or sell your consumer health data, and access that data
  • Withdraw your consent to its collection or sharing
  • Request that we delete it, subject to limited legal exceptions
  • Decline to have it sold (we do not sell it, and would never do so without your separate, signed authorization)

How to exercise your rights

To make a request, please use the contact form on this website. We will respond within the timeframe the law requires. If we decline a request, you may appeal by submitting another request through the contact form; if you remain unsatisfied after an appeal, you may contact the Washington State Attorney General's Office.
