Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice

Last updated: October 15, 2025

If you are a resident of Nevada or Washington, you may have rights with respect to the limited data YMCA of the USA and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“YMCA of the USA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect that is deemed “Consumer Health Data” under laws in these states.  This Consumer Health Data Notice applies only to data that we treat as Consumer Health Data under the Nevada consumer health data law (“NCHD”) and the Washington My Health My Data Act (“WMHMDA”) (collectively, “CHD Laws”).  Please see our Privacy Notice for additional information about how we collect, use, and share non-Consumer Health Data.

YMCA of the USA also provides some services regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) to HIPAA “covered entities,” such as when we receive patient information from providers about individuals referred to the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program. This HIPAA-regulated Protected Health Information (“PHI”) is not covered by the Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice.
