US CONSUMER HEALTH DATA PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: September 2026
This Consumer Health Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to “Consumer Health Data,” as that term has been defined under United States applicable law, and that Baxter (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects from Consumers (collectively referred to as “you”). We have prepared this Consumer Health Privacy Policy for our U.S. Consumers, as a supplement to our Global Privacy Policy and US Privacy Policy, to inform Consumers of the rights they may have under applicable U.S. Consumer Health Data laws. Any term appearing in this Privacy Policy that has been defined under applicable Consumer Health Data laws shall have the meaning afforded therein. If you are looking for information about how we process your protected health information (or “PHI”) when we act as a covered entity under HIPAA, please see our Notice of Privacy Practices on those applicable entities’ websites for more information.
This Privacy Policy describes the categories of Consumer Health Data we collect, the purposes for which we collect and use Consumer Health Data; the categories of sources from which we collect Consumer Health Data; the categories of Consumer Health Data we share; the third parties with whom we share Consumer Health Data; and how you can exercise your rights with respect to your Consumer Health Data.
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time, including without limitation, in order to comply with applicable law, and will post the effective date of any updates or modifications at the top of this Privacy Policy.
A. Consumer Health Data We Collect
We may collect the following Consumer Health Data from you:
- individual health conditions, treatment, diseases, or diagnosis;
- social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions;

- use or purchase of prescribed medication;
- bodily functions, vital signs, symptoms, or measurements;
- diagnoses or diagnostic testing, treatment, or medication;
- biometric data;
- genetic data;
- precise location information that could reasonably indicate your attempt to acquire or receive health services or supplies;
- data that identifies you as a consumer seeking health care services; or
- any information that we or our processor may use to associate or identify you with the data described above that is derived or extrapolated from non-health information (such as proxy, derivative, inferred, or emergent data by any means, including algorithms or machine learning).
We will obtain your consent to collect Consumer Health Data unless such collection is necessary to provide a product or service that you have requested from us or we are otherwise permitted by applicable law to collect such Consumer Health Data without your consent.
B. Purposes of Collecting and Using Consumer Health Data
We may collect and use the above-mentioned categories of Consumer Health Data for the following purposes:
- create and administer your account with us;
- manage business transaction with you, including (without limitation) obtaining or making payments for services;
- respond to your communications, inquiries, and requests about the services;
- send you marketing communications, or to enable you to participate in surveys or questionnaires;
- tailor and deliver relevant advertisements to you when you are using our services or when you are accessing a third party service;
- gather and create statistics regarding your usage of our Service;
- comply with and enforce applicable legal requirements, relevant industry standards and our contractual rights and policies;
- carry out your treatment, including treatment prescribed by a physician, and to provide you with general information about your treatment;

- where permitted by law, we may also enhance or combine information about you, including your Personal Information, with information we obtain from third parties described in our Global Privacy Policy.
We may also aggregate and/or anonymize personal information and analyze those data for statistical or any other purposes permitted by law. When we do so, we take reasonable measures to ensure that the information cannot be associated with a consumer or household, and we maintain and use the information in deidentified form. We will not attempt to reidentify the information, except that we may attempt to reidentify the information solely for the purpose of determining whether our deidentification processes satisfy applicable legal requirements. After it has been deidentified, the information is no longer personal information and is not subject to this Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.

We may collect Consumer Health Data from the following sources:
- directly from you when you interact with us;

- governmental authorities, where such sharing is:

- intended to exercise or defend our legal rights; or
- necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or suspected or illegal activity;
- successor entities to whom we may transfer your Consumer Health Data information in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including, without limitation, in the event of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, reorganization, divestiture, dissolution, or liquidation).
We may also aggregate and/or anonymize Personal Information and analyze those data for statistical or any other purposes permitted by law. When we do so, we take reasonable measures to ensure that the information cannot be associated with a Consumer or household, and we maintain and use the information in deidentified form. We will not attempt to reidentify the information, except that we may attempt to reidentify the information solely for the purpose of determining whether our deidentification processes satisfy applicable legal requirements. After it has been deidentified, the information is no longer Personal Information and is not subject to this Notice.
We may disclose aggregated and/or anonymized data to any other entities to the extent permitted by law.
