If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
- We will respond to reasonable requests in accordance with applicable law and subject to legal and contractual restrictions. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
- There may be times where we cannot comply with your request. For example, if such disclosure would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. We will provide an explanation for our refusal to grant access.

Addendum: Consumer Health Data Policy
(including Washington, Nevada, Connecticut)
Effective: October 20, 2026
Various U.S. state laws provide protections for “consumer health data”. This addendum applies to such information by applicable law. Please see the “Exercising Your Rights” section below for instructions regarding how to exercise these rights.
“Consumer Health Data” is used in this addendum as it is defined in the Washington My Health My Data Act (MHMDA) and other laws applicable to the same or similar data. It generally includes any information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an individual and that identifies that individual’s past, present, or future physical or mental health status. Excluded from Consumer Health Data are certain types of health information, such as when we must collect, use, and disclose health information to meet our regulatory obligations or as part of a clinical trial. We do not collect, share, or sell Consumer Health Data except as described in this Privacy Policy and this Addendum or with your consent.
Categories of Consumer Health Data We Collect and Share
We process limited Consumer Health Data that you choose to provide through the Site, such as information submitted in connection with a product inquiry, provider-referral request, clinical study inquiry or prescreening form, or other health-related request. Depending on the form or interaction, this may include information about a health condition, symptoms, treatment interest, provider-referral needs, or other information that identifies you as seeking health care services or information. We do not intend for this Site to collect genetic data, precise geofencing data, biometric identifiers, or other categories of Consumer Health Data unless expressly requested and disclosed at the point of collection. Not all health information we collect is Consumer Health Data because certain exemptions may apply, including for protected health information regulated by HIPAA or information processed for clinical trial, regulatory, safety, or quality obligations.
Sources of Consumer Health Data
We collect Consumer Health Data directly from you, including when you submit information through our Site, or our Services, or other services or platforms we operate.
How Protega Uses Consumer Health Data
We use Consumer Health Data to respond to your requests, provide information and education about Protega’s products or clinical studies, help connect you with a provider or study site where requested, support safety, quality, regulatory, and compliance obligations, and otherwise as described at the point of collection or with your consent.
How Protega May Share Consumer Health Data
We may share Consumer Health Data, including the categories of Consumer Health Data, with Protega-affiliated companies, service providers acting on our behalf, and others, including health care providers that you select, as necessary to provide you with the products or services you request or your authorized representatives request on your behalf.
