Our organization employs a number of data processors around the world, in order to provide you, the customer, with the best and most economical service possible. We hold each of our data processors to the same standards as ourselves, in the matter of the protection of your personal data.
Principle 2 - Identifying Purposes
This organization collects personal information in order to fill prescriptions, verify those prescriptions with doctors, and ship medications to customers. We take steps to ensure that the Pharmacies and Fulfillment Centres we work with to fill your prescriptions comply with all regulatory obligations in the jurisdictions where they are licensed such as Canada, United Kingdom, India, Turkey, Mauritius, Australia and New Zealand.
This may mean verifying data of other individuals involved in the transaction of filling the prescription, such as medical professionals, guardians or caregivers.
An explanation of the purposes behind the collection of separate data elements appears on each form submitted by the customer. We do not use customer data for marketing, nor do we share it with other organizations for unrelated purposes. Compliance with regulatory obligations may involve such uses as
- providing patient or physician information to the regulatory authorities for oversight and audit
- cooperating with relevant authorities in the event of product recall
- investigating complaints
Further discussion of disclosure of patient data appears in principle 5.
Principle 3 - Consent
On each order form you fill, we seek your consent to the release of the personal information that you provide.

Principle 4 - Limiting Collection

We collect the information directly from the customer, and limit its use to the health care professionals involved with your care and our suppliers and processors.
Principle 5 -Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention
We only keep your personal data for as long as we need it to serve you. The pharmacies and fulfillment centers we work with have important regulatory requirements to preserve your personal data (for example the requirement to preserve your personal data in British Columbia is five years after your last transaction. We make sure that our suppliers delete your data when the processing is complete/or they have fulfilled their own regulatory obligations. We use state of the art encryption to ensure that your personal information is protected when in our control.
Principle 6 - Accuracy
It is very important that the information we rely on to provide your pharmaceutical needs is accurate and up to date. If you are on other medications or your health changes you need to tell us. We ask for information each time we fulfill your order, in order to ensure that we are operating with the best possible information about your health.
