Such privacy policy shall include, at a minimum— the identity and the contact information of the covered entity, including the contact information for the covered entity’s representative for privacy and data security inquiries; each category of data the covered entity collects and the processing purposes for which such data is collected; whether the covered entity transfers covered data and, if so— each category of service provider and third party to which the covered entity transfers covered data and the purposes for which such data is transferred to such categories; and the identity of each third party to which the covered entity transfers covered data and the purposes for which such data is transferred to such third party, except for transfers to governmental entities pursuant to a court order or law that prohibits the covered entity from disclosing such transfer; how long covered data processed by the covered entity will be retained by the covered entity and a description of the covered entity’s data minimization policies; how individuals can exercise the individual rights described in this title; a description of the covered entity’s data security policies; and the effective date of the privacy policy.

A covered entity shall not make a material change to its privacy policy or practices with respect to previously collected covered data that would weaken the privacy protections applicable to such data without first obtaining prior affirmative express consent from the individuals affected.
The covered entity shall provide direct notification, where possible, regarding material changes to affected individuals, taking into account available technology and the nature of the relationship.
