For Washington, Nevada, and (from July 1, 2026) Connecticut residents. This Notice is separate from, and supplements, our Privacy Policy.
Last Updated: April 20, 2026
Effective: Upon public launch of the Service
This Notice is a pre-launch draft and is not yet in effect. The canonical source of truth is CONSUMER_HEALTH_DATA_NOTICE.md in our repository.
This Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice ("CHD Notice") is a separate notice required by the Washington My Health My Data Act (RCW 19.373, "MHMDA"), Nevada SB 370 (NRS 603A.400 et seq.), and the Connecticut Data Privacy Act as amended by SB 1295 (effective July 1, 2026). It supplements, and does not replace, our Privacy Policy.
This Notice is linked directly from the footer of ophie.app, adjacent to — and distinct from — our Privacy Policy link, consistent with Washington Attorney General guidance.
MHMDA defines "consumer health data" broadly. For users covered by this Notice, Ophie treats the following as consumer health data:
| Category | Specific Source |
|---|---|
| Voice audio (transient) | Your microphone during a voice session, streamed via LiveKit WebRTC |
| Transcript | Generated by Deepgram from your voice audio; stored in Supabase in Memory mode |
| Message content | Typed by you or transcribed from your voice |
| Session metadata | Generated by your use of the Service |
| Emotional inferences | Ophie's local SER model and LLM stack |
| Memories, topics, constellations, continuity markers | Derived by Ophie from your conversations |
| Crisis-detection signals | ML safety classifier (GPT-OSS-Safeguard 20B) |
| Fact of use | Account creation and session activity |
| Category | Specific Purposes |
|---|---|
| Voice audio (transient) | Transcribe your speech; synthesize response voice; establish real-time voice connection |
| Transcript | Continuity within and across sessions; your review/edit/delete; operate RAG memory (Memory mode only) |
| Message content | Generate the AI response; generate memories; operate safety classifier |
| Session metadata | Operate/debug the Service; show you your own stats; bill paid tiers |
| Emotional inferences | Adapt tone in session; render your wellness timeline |
| Memories, topics, etc. | Remember what you asked us to remember; your review/edit |
| Crisis-detection signals | Surface crisis resources; pause session; log to safety-audit log |
| Fact of use | Authenticate; render your stats |
We do not process CHD for targeted advertising, for sale, for training any AI model, or for profiling with significant effects.
MHMDA requires named disclosure. The following is the complete list as of the date above:
Ophie has no affiliates receiving CHD at the date above. We do not sell CHD to any person or entity.
Before we collect, process, or share CHD beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the Service you have specifically requested, we obtain your affirmative, opt-in consent. That consent is freely given, specific, informed, unambiguous, and revocable at any time through Privacy Controls or by emailing health-team@ophie.app.
We separately obtain written authorization if we ever intend to sell CHD, in the form required by RCW 19.373.060. We do not currently sell CHD and have no plans to do so.
Response timing: 45 days, extendable once by 45 days when reasonably necessary. Appeal on denial; you may also complain to the Washington, Nevada, or Connecticut AG as applicable.
Submit requests at health-team@ophie.app or via in-product Privacy Controls.
We do not use geofences to identify, track, target, collect data from, or send notifications or ads to consumers in relation to their CHD. We do not operate a geofence around any in-person healthcare facility.
We protect CHD with the safeguards described in Section 10 of the Privacy Policy: transport and at-rest encryption; Postgres row-level security; scoped access; vendor due diligence; incident-response procedures. Production access to CHD is restricted and logged.
In the event of unauthorized access, acquisition, or disclosure of CHD, we will notify affected users and regulators per the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule, MHMDA, Nevada breach law, and Connecticut breach law.
Washington MHMDA is enforced by the Washington Attorney General and through the Washington Consumer Protection Act, which provides a private right of action. If you are a Washington resident and believe Ophie has violated MHMDA, you may have a claim in addition to filing with the Washington AG.
We retain CHD only as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Specific periods are in Section 9 of the Privacy Policy. Deletion flows propagate to our processors and, where feasible, to backups.

Regulator complaints:
Material changes will be communicated by email and in-product notice at least 30 days before taking effect. If a change materially alters how we process CHD, we will solicit a refreshed opt-in consent before applying the change.
