VCDPA compliance for a health app
Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act. This page applies it to one kind of product (health app), so you get the obligations that are actually yours instead of a summary of the whole statute.
Does it apply to you?
100,000+ Virginia consumers, or 25,000+ if half of revenue comes from selling data.
What a health app typically processes
- health and wellbeing data, which is sensitive in most jurisdictions
- explicit consent as the usual lawful basis
- data shared with practitioners or providers
Each of these is processing you have to disclose. Adding an SDK later adds to this list — which is why a policy written once goes stale.
Documents you need
The intersection of what VCDPA requires and what a health app actually does:
- Privacy policy
Rights you must honour
VCDPA gives people in Virginia the right to:
- Access a copy of their data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Have their data deleted
- Receive their data in a portable format
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of their data
- Opt out of profiling and targeted advertising
- Not be discriminated against for exercising a right
