How We Protect Your Information
When you visit our website, we want to assure you that the protection of your personal information and medical information is our priority. We may use standard security protocols like Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for data transfer, secure payment gateways, and sensitive data that is not meant to be accessed by everyone, and we may check for unauthorized access on our website.
SSL encryption protects the information transmitted between your browser and the website. However, we ensure that your data is present on our website in the strictest confidence. There is no guarantee that your information is completely secure.
Sharing of Information
We assure you that your information is not sold, rented, or shared with any third party. However, we may share your information in some cases, such as with third-party service providers who help us process your payments and fulfill your orders, or if you are seeking customer support.
We may also share your prescription or medical information with licensed healthcare providers, pharmacists, and medical verification services to provide correct and trustworthy confirmation of an individual’s medical history and credentials.
If any legalities or legal issues are involved, we may comply with legal processes. If your information was used to commit fraud or other illegal activities, we want to ensure our users are well protected.
Payment Information
We may use third-party payment service providers to assist us with financial matters. Payment details are hidden and processed using secure payment gateways. We do not save your credit card numbers or any sensitive payment data on our servers unless we need them to verify the transfer. We expect users to ensure their devices and internet connections are safe and secure when making online payments.
Delivery and Confidentiality
As an online medical pharmacy, we want to inform you that when you purchase medicines on our website, you may be sharing sensitive information with us. Therefore, when you place an order, we pack it with packaging that hides its contents or with neutral labels that do not reveal what is inside. We want to tell our customers that they will receive their orders without anyone other than them knowing what is inside.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only as long as we provide services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, and resolve any disputes. Once we no longer require your information, we may delete it or stop identifying it with you.
Your Privacy Rights
Although we do not allow access to someone’s personal data, there are exceptions in the case of users wanting to access their own information, wanting to get changes made in any inaccurate information, wanting some personal data involving them to be deleted, or not consenting to the use of their information to some extent.
Third-Party Links
When you access our website, we may direct you to third-party links for your convenience. However, we are not responsible for the privacy policies of any third-party links or websites. We suggest you share any information with them at your own risk.
Children’s Privacy
Children are not included on our user list or among those under 18. We do not intentionally collect information from children. However, if we become aware that a minor was using our website and passing on personal information, we will have to remove it from our system. If there is any child who provided any personal information to us, his parents or guardians should contact us immediately.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
If we make any changes to our privacy policy or update it, we will notify you of the date the changes take effect. Still, we won’t inform you about any changes we are about to make, so if you continue to use our website, it means you have given your consent to the updated privacy policy.
