FTC Advertisers- We’re Tracking Your Use of Health Information

The BetterHelp settlement indicates that the FTC takes a broad view of what constitutes ​“health information,” but it raises questions about how the FTC will apply its reinterpretation of the Health Breach Notification Rule under its September 2021 policy statement.
