Here are some considerations and lessons on what to do with such information from an April 25 FTC article.
- Clearly explain what you will do with consumers’ health data and stick to it.
- For security reasons, keep any apps and websites updated and secure to protect customer information.
- Review and update privacy policies and claims and ensure they are in line with public health developments.
- Minimize the amount of health information that is shared when verifying or communicating information to another entity. Not all details will be necessary to share.
- Provide a secure environment to share information in with a secure network and storage space.
