Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
Effective: March 31, 2024
This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy (the “CHD Policy”) supplements Pharmavite LLC’s Nature Made® (“Privacy Policy”) and applies to Personal Information defined as “consumer health data” (“Consumer Health Data”) subject to Nevada’s consumer health data statute (“Nevada CHD Law”) effective March 31, 2024.
As the types of Consumer Health Data we collect, how and why we collect and use such Consumer Health Data, and to whom and under what circumstances we disclose it may differ from site to site and from brand to brand amongst our subsidiaries. Please see the privacy policies on the websites of our subsidiaries’ brands (www.megafood.com, www.uqora.com, www.innateresponse.com, www.equelle.com and https://hellobonafide.com) for more information.
Consumer Health Data We Collect
We collect different kinds of Personal Information (as explained in our Privacy Policy) about consumers. The Personal Information we collect about you depends on how you interact with Pharmavite, the options you choose (including your privacy settings), the products and features you use and/or purchase, where you reside, and applicable law.
Since Consumer Health Data is defined very broadly under consumer health data laws, some of the Personal Information we collect about you could be considered Consumer Health Data.
Examples of the categories of Consumer Health Data we may collect include:
- Information about your health-related conditions or status, treatments (including surgeries and procedures), diseases or diagnoses; diagnostic testing, health measurements, symptoms, medications, and reproductive or sexual health.
- Information that may be used to infer or derive data related to the above or other health information
Sources of Consumer Health Data

We may infer certain information about you based on information provided from any of the sources listed above.
