All the personal information we collect about you and/or any other person whose details you provide will be recorded, processed, and protected in accordance with current data protection legislation. Your data will be kept confidential, used lawfully, fairly and with transparency. Your data will be kept secure and retained for as long as necessary. Primarily we will use your personal information in the following ways: · To fulfil your prescription – we capture your name, address, date of birth, e-mail address, insurance policy number and the medication required (this includes the name of the medication and the dosage instructions) as detailed on the prescription. Capturing this information is necessary to provide you with our service. · We will use your health and medication information provided to dispense and deliver to you your prescriptions or provide other healthcare products and services you have requested. Your prescription information will not be used for marketing. · When we process your personal information for our Legitimate Interests, we make sure we consider and balance any potential impacts on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. We ensure that our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests. We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law) · If you enter one of our premises, we may capture you on CCTV. We use CCTV to ensure the safety and security of our staff and customers. The images captured may be used to prevent and detect crime, and therefore, may be shared with law enforcement. We carry out this processing activity either for our own legitimate interest or for the wider public interest (e.g. where it is shared with law enforcement). · We may also provide your telephone number and address to third party delivery services. Where we do so, we ensure the third party only uses the information for this specific purpose and processes it in accordance with an established legal contract. · If you interact with us online (for example, when you use our website, digital services, or post comments on our Facebook page) we will indirectly collect information about you. We collect certain usage information when you utilize our website such as Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, log files, unique device identifiers, pages viewed, browser type, any links you click on to leave or interact with our website and the products and services we offer, and other usage information collected from cookies and other tracking technologies.

In this section, we have summarized the categories of third parties who we may share your data with. · Postal services and couriers – for typical business purposes, to deliver prescriptions by post and airplane. · Third party Insurance processors – for payment. We may use and disclose your personal information so that we and other covered entities or health care providers can bill and collect payment from you, your insurance company, or a third party. This may include conducting insurance eligibility checks with health plans, determining enrollment status, and providing information to entities that help us submit bills and collect amounts owed. · Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) – where we are required to do so by law, we will release personal data to LEA’s (e.g. the police).

We may disclose your personal information to a family member, other relative, friend, or other individual identified by you, who is involved in your medical care or payment for your care, provided you agree to this disclosure, you had an opportunity to object and did not do so, or we infer from the circumstances in our professional judgment that the disclosure is appropriate. · As Required by Law.
