HIPAA violations from Facebook Meta Pixel tracking of online telehealth and telemedicine users: Who’s affected?
Do you have a Facebook account? Have you used a telehealth company, an online pharmacy or a therapy clinic within the last three years?
Meta, Facebook’s parent company, recently came under scrutiny for concerns that its Meta Pixel tracker collects sensitive health information from telehealth websites, telemedicine providers and online patient portals.
Consumers who have a Facebook account and used an online medical provider may have had their information unlawfully shared without their consent, violating HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and other privacy laws.
Many online telehealth providers have been using third-party tracking codes that share users’ information with Facebook and others without the required consent, including:
- Sexual and reproductive health services
- Urgent care clinics
- Pharmacies
- Mental health services
- Test kit companies
