This section applies only to customer stories which include health information, as defined by applicable laws.
If - depending on my use of 23andMe+ Total Health - the information I submit as part of my stories is considered
health information, and 23andMe’s use and disclosure of my stories is considered marketing under certain laws and rules,
those laws and rules may require I also acknowledge and agree to the following terms specific to my health information:

notification to 23andMe at Privacy@23andme.com. I understand that information used or disclosed pursuant to this Consent may be
subject to re-disclosure by the recipient of such information and may no longer be protected by applicable laws. However, in some cases,
state privacy laws may prohibit the person receiving my health information from making future disclosures of my information unless another
authorization or consent for disclosure is obtained from me, or unless such disclosure is specifically required or permitted by law.
I understand that 23andMe will not condition my receipt of services on whether I agree to provide this Consent.

This Consent is valid for the defined period set forth under applicable law, including any state where the information I submit in
