ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (regulatory & governance intelligence)

The collection of GDPR 'special category' health data and US state 'consumer health data' creates overlapping compliance obligations including consent requirements, data minimisation, breach notification, and consumer rights to access/deletion under GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, Washington MHMDA, Connecticut DPA, and Nevada SB 370; a DPIA may be required for EU processing.
