Health information can arrive through a customer event report

Starbucks says only a small part of the personal information it collects may count as consumer health data under these laws. The example it gives is a customer event report: if you report an event related to your health that resulted from an experience at Starbucks, the information you provide may be consumer health data. The notice says "may" in both places, so it does not say every report is consumer health data or that no other information could qualify.

Starbucks says it does not collect health data from other sources

Starbucks states that it does not collect consumer health data from other sources. Read together with the customer event report example, the notice presents your own report as the way Starbucks gets this kind of data. "Other sources" is not defined, so the notice does not name which sources are excluded.
