What a lactation privacy notice is meant to explain

Abstracts
Before sharing health details while seeking lactation support, it helps to know where to look for information about how those details may be used or disclosed.
Breastfeeding With Love’s “Privacy/HIPPA — Lactation Consultant NYC” page (https://www.breastfeedingwithlove.com/privacyhippa) describes HIPAA as the federal law protecting health information held by insurers and providers. Separately, it states that the purpose of its notice is to inform customers how Breastfeeding With Love uses or discloses their personal health information. That distinction matters: a reference to HIPAA is not a substitute for reading what an organization says about its own handling of information.
