Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
Effective October 17, 2026
This policy explains how Hearing Shortlist handles consumer health data, as required by Washington’s My Health My Data Act and similar state laws. It adds to our main privacy policy.
Hearing Shortlist is run by Dilum Senevirathne. Contact: [email protected].
Categories of consumer health data we collect
- What you tell us about your hearing, such as where you struggle to hear, ringing in your ears, symptoms you mention, and devices you’ve used before
- Facts the tool pulls from your description, such as the situations that matter to you and whether a warning sign was detected
- Your budget, phone type and glasses preference, when they’re linked to the above
Sources
All of it comes directly from you, through what you type and select in the tool.
Why we collect it
- To give you recommendations. We process your description to check for warning signs and to match you with devices. This is necessary to provide the service you asked for.
- To improve the tool, only with your consent. If you tick the “help improve this tool” box, we save the text you typed and use it to improve the tool and our guides.
Who we share it with
We don’t sell consumer health data. We share it only with service providers who process it for us:
- OpenAI, to read your description and write your results
- Cloudflare, to host the site and store data
We don’t share it with brands, retailers, affiliate networks or advertisers.
Your rights
You can:
- Ask whether we have collected, shared or sold your consumer health data, and get a copy of it
- Ask for a list of the third parties we’ve shared it with
- Withdraw your consent
- Ask us to delete it
To make a request, email [email protected]. Include the text you typed and roughly when, because we don’t store your name, email or IP address with it. We’ll respond within 45 days. If we deny your request, you can appeal by replying to our response, and we’ll answer your appeal in writing within 45 days.
