GODDARD CONSUMER HEALTH DATA PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: July 1, 2024
This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy (“Policy") governs Goddard Franchisor, LLC's ("Goddard."
“we," “our," or “us") collection, use, sharing, and otherwise processing of Consumer Health
Data (defined below) of students of our franchisees (each a “Goddard School"), and the rights of
Washington
and Nevada residents with respect to their Consumer Health Data.
“Consumer Health Data" means Personal Information (information that identifies or is reasonably capable of
being associated or linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer) that identifies the consumer's
past,
present, or future physical or mental health status, including, but not limited to, individual health
conditions,
treatment, diseases, or diagnosis; social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions; health-related
surgeries or procedures; use or purchase of prescribed medication; diagnoses or diagnostic testing, treatment,
or
medication; or data derived from such categories of data.
We will not collect, use, or share categories of Consumer Health Data not disclosed in this Policy, or process
the
categories of Consumer Health Data disclosed in this Policy for purposes not disclosed in this Policy without
first
(1) disclosing the additional category of Consumer Health Data or purpose for processing the Consumer Health
Data
and (2) obtaining the student's (or parent/guardian's) affirmative consent.
Unless we obtain a student's affirmative consent, we will only collect, use, and disclose a student's Consumer
Health
Data that is necessary to provide the products or services that the student has requested through the Goddard
School.
Source, Collection, and Use of Consumer Health Data
We collect the following Consumer Health Data from the Goddard School to provide services to the student that
he/she
has requested through the Goddard School.
-
Student Enrollment.
We collect, from the Goddard School that uploads it to our franchise management
system (“FMS
”), a student's individual health condition, status, treatment, disease, diagnosis,
heath-related surgery or procedure information, use of medication, and dietary restrictions, which will
be processed by the FMS to assist the Goddard School with preparing a health plan and to help
accommodate the student's health needs.
-
Health or Medical Event.
When a student gets sick, has surgery, or otherwise requires treatment, we
may
collect, from the Goddard School, the student's physical or mental health status and/or diagnosis and any
treatment or medication information, which is processed by Goddard's email system to communicate with the
Goddard School and by Goddard employees to prepare a medical release for the student and/or update the
student's
medical information on FMS.
-
Comply with the Law.
We will collect, from each Goddard School that uploads it to our FMS, any
Consumer
Health Data, including immunization records, medical history, health appraisals, medication, diagnosis,
allergies, medical action plans, and any other data which may be required to be maintained about the student
by
state childcare licensors if it is processed in FMS for the accessibility of such information.
A third party will not collect Consumer Health Data over time and across different internet websites or online
services when the student uses Goddard's internet websites or online services.
Disclosure or Sharing of Consumer Health Data
-
Processors
. We share a student's health condition, status, treatment, disease, diagnosis,
heath-related
surgery or procedure information, use of medication, present physical or mental health status, and
dietary restrictions with processors that provide support services to us, such as the technology and
software service providers to prepare and maintain health/medical plans and meal tracking.
-
Corporate Reorganization
. In the event that we enter into, or intend to enter into, a transaction
that
alters the structure of our business, such as a reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, joint
venture, assignment, consolidation, transfer, change of control, or other disposition of all or any
portion of our business, assets or stock, we would share a student's health condition, status,
treatment, disease, diagnosis, heath-related surgery or procedure information, use of medication,
present physical or mental health status, and dietary restrictions with third parties, including the
buyer or target (and their agents and advisors) for the purpose of facilitating and completing the
transaction. We would share Consumer Health Data with third parties if we undergo bankruptcy or
liquidation, in the course of such proceedings.
-
Legal Purposes
. Where we are legally required to do so, such as in response to legal process or law
enforcement, to exercise our legal rights, to enforce our terms of service or other contracts, or to
comply with the requirements of any applicable law or regulation, we will share a student's health
condition, status, treatment, disease, diagnosis, heath-related surgery or procedure information, use of
medication, present physical or mental health status, and dietary restrictions with the party with whom
we are required to share such information (e.g., regulatory agency).
-
Consent
. Apart from the reasons identified above, we may request a student's permission to share
their
Consumer Health Data for a specific purpose. We will notify the student and request consent before we
provide the Consumer Health Data or before the Consumer Health Data that the student has already
provided is shared for such purpose.
Sale of Consumer Health Data
We will not Sell students' Consumer Health Data.
Rights of Washington and Nevada Residents
-

-
Right to Know/Access
A Washington or Nevada student has the right to confirm whether we are

email address or other online mechanism that the student may use to contact these third parties.
-
Right to Withdraw Consent
A Washington or Nevada student has the right to withdraw consent
from our
collection and sharing of Consumer Health Data concerning the student.

network, including archived or backup systems; and (B) notify all affiliates, processors, contractors,
and
other third parties with whom we have shared Consumer Health Data of the deletion request.

Exercising a Student's Rights
A student, or parent/guardian of a student, may exercise the student's rights by calling Goddard
toll-free at
1-800-GODDARD or via email at privacy@goddardsystems.com.
You must provide us with sufficient information (student
name, enrolled Goddard School, and address) that allows us to reasonably verify you are the student or
parent/guardian of the student about whom we collected the Consumer Health Data and describe your
request with
sufficient detail to allow us to properly evaluate and respond to it. If we are not able to verify your
requests
with the information provided, we may ask you for additional pieces of information.
If the student or parent/guardian of a student does not agree with our decision regarding your request to
exercise
the student's right, a student or parent/guardian of a student may appeal our refusal to take action on
a request
within a reasonable period of time after your receipt of the decision by emailing us at
privacy@goddardsystems.com with the subject line of the
email as “Rights Request Decision Appeal” and
attaching our original written decision to your email. Within 45 days of receipt of an appeal, we will
inform the
student in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written
explanation of
the reasons for the decisions. If the appeal is denied, you may contact the attorney general to submit a
complaint:
