Common examples of Personal Information include: full name, email address, digital identity, such as a login name or handle, information about your device, and certain metadata.

 

The Personal Information which we collect includes, but is not limited to, the following data elements under the associated circumstances:

  • If you express an interest in obtaining additional information about our Services, request customer support, use our “Contact Us” or similar features, register to use our Sites or Services, or download certain content, we may require that you provide to us your contact information, such as your name, organization, phone number, or email address, and in some instances, you may elect to provide us with location and address information;

  • If you desire to pay for bills via our Sites or Services, we may require that you provide to us your financial and billing information, such as billing name and address, credit card number or bank account information;
  • If you use and interact with our Sites or emails, we automatically collect information about your device and your usage of our Sites or emails through cookies, web beacons or similar technologies, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or other identifiers, which may qualify as Personal Information;
  • If you voluntarily submit certain information to our services, such as filling out a survey about your user experience, we collect the information you have provided as part of that request; and

We collect analytics information when you use the Sites to help us improve them, including through the use of cookies. We may also share aggregated and/or anonymized data about your actions on our Sites with third-party service providers of analytics services. We also use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile versions of our Services on your mobile device. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personally identifiable information you submit within the mobile application.

If you provide us or our service providers with any Personal Information relating to other individuals, you represent that you have the authority to do so and acknowledge that it will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you believe that your Personal Information has been provided to us improperly, or if you are a Subscriber or Visitor who wishes to otherwise exercise your rights relating to your Personal Information, please contact us by using the information set out in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

 

We and our partners use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit one of our services, and this may include using cookies or similar technologies to identify your browser or device. We also use these technologies to collect and store information when you interact with services from our partners, such as advertising services. Our third-party advertising and analytics partners include Google, Facebook, Instagram, Birdeye and similar companies. 

 

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

  • Web Beacons. Pages of our Services or our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count Users who have visited those pages or opened an e-mail and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

Clickstream data may include information such as the page served, the time spent viewing the page, source of the request, type of browser making the request, the preceding page viewed and similar information. Clickstream data permits us to analyze how Visitors arrive at the Sites, what type of content is popular, and  what type of Visitors in the aggregate are interested in particular kinds of content on the Sites.
  • Mobile Device Identifiers and SDK. A mobile SDK is the mobile application version of a web beacon (see “Web Beacons” above). The SDK is a bit of computer code that application developers can include in their applications to enable advertisements to be shown, data to be collected and related services or analytics to be performed

We use the information we collect from our Sites to provide, maintain, and improve them, to develop new services, and to protect our company and our Users. 

We use information collected from cookies and other technologies, to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our Services. We may use your Personal Information to see which pages you visit at our Site, which website you visited before coming to our Site, and where you go after you leave our Site. We can then develop statistics that help us understand how our visitors use our Site and how to improve it.  We may also use the information we obtain about you in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.

We may use your Personal Information in furtherance of our legitimate interest to provide you with the Services offered by Digital Pharmacist. We may also use your information to manage our contractual relationship with you or to comply with our legal obligations. We will treat any information that we combine with your Personal Information as Personal Information pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those set out in this Privacy Policy.

Whenever we collect Personal Information from you, we may do so on the following legal bases:

  1. Your consent to such collection and use;
  2. Out of necessity for the performance of an agreement between us and you, such as your agreement to use our Services or your request for Services;
  3. Our legitimate business interest, including but not limited to the following circumstances where collecting or using Personal Information is necessary for:
    • Intra-organization transfers for administrative purposes;
    • Product development and enhancement, where the processing enables Digital Pharmacist to enhance, modify, personalize, or otherwise improve our Services and communications for the benefit of our Users, and to better understand how people interact with our Sites;
    • Fraud detection and prevention;
    • Enhancement of our cybersecurity, including improving the security of our network and information systems; and
    • General business operations and diligence;

Provided that, in each circumstance, we will weigh the necessity of our processing for the purpose against your privacy and confidentiality interests, including taking into account your reasonable expectations, the impact of processing, and any safeguards which are or could be put in place. In all circumstances, we will limit such processing for our legitimate business interest to what is necessary for its purposes.

Your Failure to Provide Personal Information

 

Your provision of Personal Information is required in order to use certain parts of our Sites and Services.  If you fail to provide such Personal Information, you may not be able to access and use our Sites and/or Services, or parts of our Sites and/or Services.  

 

Our Retention of Your Personal Information

 

We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information on the basis of the amount, nature and sensitivity of your Personal Information processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information and whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, as well as on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).

 

After expiry of the applicable retention periods, your Personal Information will be deleted. If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further use of such data.

 

Sharing Personal Information

 

Digital Pharmacist may disclose your Personal Information to commercial providers for a business purpose, which include verifying your identity when making a payment or registering access to your accounts. When we disclose Personal Information for these reasons, we enter into a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that Personal Information confidential and not use it for any purpose except for the purposes set forth in the contract.

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed the following categories of Personal Information for one or more business purposes: 

  • Identifiers;
  • California Customer Records Personal Information categories;
  • Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law;
  • Commercial Information;
  • Internet or other network activity information;
  • Geolocation Data;
  • Sensory Data;
  • Professional or employment-related information.

We disclose your Personal Information for a business purpose to the following categories of third-parties:

  • Our affiliates;
  • Commercial providers;
  • Subscribers and their partners;
  • Service providers and other third parties we use to support our business, including without limitation those performing core services  (such as billing, credit card processing, customer support services, customer relationship management, accounting, auditing, administering sweepstakes, surveys, advertising and marketing, analytics, email and mailing services, data storage, and security) related to the operation of our business and/or the Services, and making certain functionalities available to our Users;
  • Third-parties to whom you or your agents authorize us to disclose your Personal Information in connection with the Services we provide to you. 

We may disclose your Personal Information for legal reasons. Specifically, we will share Personal Information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Digital Pharmacist if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

  • meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
  • enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations.
  • detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
  • protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Digital Pharmacist, our Users or the public as required or permitted by law;
  • for any other purpose disclosed when you provide the information; and
  • when we obtain your consent to do so.

We attempt to notify Users about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

We may disclose your Personal Information in the event of a business transfer. If we establish a new related entity, are acquired by or merged with another organization, or if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another organization, Personal Information about our Users would likely be a transferred business asset. In the event that Digital Pharmacist itself or substantially all of our assets are acquired, Personal Information about our users may be one of the transferred assets.

We may also share anonymous information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) for other business purposes. For instance, we may share aggregate reports with interested third-parties to help them understand the usage patterns for certain Services or for our Sites or those of our partners.

Sale of Personal Information

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have not sold any Personal Information. 

How We Protect Personal Information

 

Digital Pharmacist maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information and other information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. For example, we use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and Secure Socket Layer software (SSL) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) to protect Personal Information.   

 

Digital Pharmacist collects account information for payment or credit, and Digital Pharmacist will use the information only to complete the task for which the account information was offered. 

Our Opt-in/Opt-out Policy

By providing an email address on the Digital Pharmacist Sites or Services, you agree that we may contact you in the event of a change in this Privacy Policy, to provide you with any Service related notices, or to provide you with information about our events, invitations, or related educational information.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “opt-in” is generally defined as any affirmative action by a Visitor to submit or receive information, as the case may be.

We currently provide the following opt-out opportunities: 

  1. At any time, you can follow a link provided in offers, newsletters or other email messages (except for e-commerce confirmation or service notice emails) received from us or a Digital Pharmacist Partner to unsubscribe from the service.     
  2. At any time, you can contact us through privacy@digitalpharmacist.com or at the telephone number 877-959-7550 to unsubscribe from the service and opt-out of our right per your consent under the terms of this Privacy Policy to share your Personal Information.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy, please note that we always reserve the right to contact you in the event of a change in this Privacy Policy, or to provide you with any service related notices.

Children 

Our Sites are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not intentionally gather Personal information about visitors who are under the age of 13.  If a child has provided us with Personal Information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us to have the information deleted from our records. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 13 in an applicable jurisdiction, please contact us at privacy@digitalpharmacist.com. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected the Personal Information of a child under 13, or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.  

Your Rights and Choices

You may have certain rights relating to your Personal Information, subject to local data protection law. Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with choices about how we use your personal data. We also aim to provide you with access to your Personal Information. Individuals located in Canada have certain rights pursuant to Canadian Privacy Laws, including  to PIPEDA. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations Digital Pharmacist intends to adhere to PIPEDA’s requirements regarding an individual’s privacy rights. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. Subject to applicable law, you may obtain a copy of Personal Information we maintain about you or you may update or correct inaccuracies in that information by contacting us. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the information. In addition, if you believe that Personal Information we maintain about you is inaccurate, subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request that we correct or amend the information by contacting us as indicated in the “How to Contact Us” section below. 

Direct Marketing and “Do Not Track” Signals

Digital Pharmacist does not track its users over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser may include controls to block and delete cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, to allow you to opt out of data collection through those technologies.

California residents are entitled to contact us to request information about whether we have disclosed Personal Information to third-parties for the third-parties’ direct marketing purposes. Under the California “Shine the Light” law, California residents may opt-out of our disclosure of Personal Information to third-parties for their direct marketing purposes. You may choose to opt-out of the sharing of your Personal Information with third-parties for marketing purposes at any time by submitting a request to privacy@digitalpharmacist.com. California users may request further information about our compliance with this law by contacting us at privacy@digitalpharmacist.com or by writing to us at the address listed in the “How to Contact Us” section.

End-Users have certain choices available to them when it comes to their Personal Information. Below is a summary of those choices, how Subscriber’s may fulfill requests on their behalf and any limitations you may have.

Accessing, Correcting, Amending and Removing End-User Personal Information

An End-User who seeks to exercise their data protection rights with respect to their Personal Information stored or processed by us on behalf of a Subscriber (including to seek access to, or to correct, amend, delete, port or restrict processing of such personal information) should direct the query to the Subscriber.

  • Services enable Subscribers to independently access and update certain Personal Information from within the Service once granted access. For example, the Subscriber can request access to an End-User profile and make updates to End-User Personal Information.
  • Subscribers may also submit a request to Digital Pharmacist to remove the Personal Information of an End-User.
  • Subscribers can independently access, correct, amend, and delete certain Personal Information within their third-party systems that integrate with Services, including but not limited to IVR and PMS.

Digital Pharmacist will fulfill such requests from a Subscriber within forty five (45) days of receipt of the request. Digital Pharmacist will retain Personal Information that we process and store on the Subscriber’s behalf for as long as needed to provide Subscribers with Services, for record keeping purposes, to complete transactions or to comply with our legal obligations.

All customers may update or correct information about yourself by making changes to your profile or submitting a request [via email to privacy@digitalpharmacist.com or via the online portal]. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity and request before taking further action on your request. We may respond to your request by letter, email, telephone or any other suitable method. If you completely delete all such information, then your account may become deactivated. We may retain an archived copy of your records as required by law, to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements or for other legitimate business purposes.

 

In some cases our ability to uphold these rights for you may depend upon our obligations to process Personal Information for security, safety, fraud prevention reasons, compliance with regulatory or legal requirements, or because processing is necessary to deliver the Services you have requested. Where this is the case, we will inform you of specific details in response to your request. 

 

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 30 days of its receipt consistent with applicable law.

 

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

 

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

 

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section explains how California residents can exercise those rights and describes Californians’ rights. 

Exercising Your Rights

Visitors and Subscribers Who Are California Residents Can:

  1. Submit a request to Digital Pharmacist via email at  privacy@digitalpharmacist.com.
  2. Call 877-959-7550 to submit a privacy request.

Fulfillment of Data Protection Requests

Upon receiving a request from a Visitor or Subscriber, we will confirm receipt of a Visitor or Subscribers request by [sending you an email/confirming receipt via our online portal/sending a message to your online account]. To help protect the Visitor’s or Subscriber’s privacy and maintain security, we may take steps to verify the Visitor’s or Subscriber’s identity before granting the Visitor or Subscriber access to the information. In some instances, such as a request to delete Personal Information, we may first separately confirm that the Visitor or Subscriber would like for us to in fact delete their Personal Information before acting on the request. 

We will fulfill requests within forty-five (45) days. If we require more time, we will inform the Visitor or Subscriber of the reason and extension period in writing.  If the Visitor or Subscriber has an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If the Visitor or Subscriber does not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at the Visitor’s or Subscriber’s option. 

In some cases our ability to uphold these rights for a Visitor or Subscriber may depend upon our obligations to process Personal Information for security, safety, fraud prevention reasons, compliance with regulatory or legal requirements, listed below, or because processing is necessary to deliver the services you have requested. Where this is the case, we will inform you of specific details in response to your request.

Californians’ Rights With Respect to Personal Information

Below we further outline specific rights which California residents may have under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

  1. Right to Access Your Data. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
  • The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that Personal Information.
  • The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you.
  • The categories of third-parties with whom we share that Personal Information.
  • The specific pieces of Personal Information we’ve disclosed for a business or commercial purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained about you.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your request.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  

  1. Right to Data Portability. You have the right to a “portable” copy of your Personal Information that you have submitted to us.  Generally, this means you have a right to request that we move, copy or transmit your Personal Information stored on our servers or information technology environment to another service provider’s servers or information technology environment.

 

  1. Right to Delete Your Data. You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;
  2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
  3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
  4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law;
  5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.);
  6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent;
  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
  8. Comply with a legal obligation; or
  9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

HIPAA

Digital Pharmacist, to the extent it is a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) has its own privacy and security obligations with respect to protected health information (PHI). We encourage you to contact Digital Pharmacist regarding its privacy and security practices (for more information regarding your rights under HIPAA, see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy).

To the extent we are a “business associate” under HIPAA, we have agreements in place with healthcare providers requiring us to only use and disclose PHI as the healthcare providers are permitted to under HIPAA. This Privacy Policy and the privacy and security practices described therein are designed to comply with these agreements. As such, among other obligations, we will:

  • use reasonable and appropriate safeguards to keep your PHI that we collect private and confidential;
  • alert you in accordance with the guidelines set forth under HIPAA if we are made aware of any unauthorized access to your PHI that we have collected; and
  • provide you access in a reasonable time and manner to your PHI we have collected and make any reasonably requested amendment thereto.

Digital Pharmacist may de-identify PHI pursuant to HIPAA and aggregate patient’s de-identified information with other Digital Pharmacist patient information, and use such aggregated information for population-based research activities and analytics; treatment, payment, enrollment, or eligibility for benefits are not conditioned upon patient reviewing the privacy policy. When information is used or disclosed, it may be subject to re-disclosure and may no longer be protected by state or federal privacy regulations.

We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services or programs, email notification of privacy policy changes).
