This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Use. All capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in terms of Use. In addition to this Privacy Policy, Pharmacy has established Terms of Services that set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of the website. A copy of the terms of service can be found here.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by us offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by Pharmacy or any third party; or any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Websites or Apps. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Websites and Apps, you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and disclose your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If any term in this Privacy Policy is unacceptable to you, please do not use the Websites or Apps or provide any personal information. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time (see Revisions to Our Privacy Policy), and your use of the Websites and Apps after we make changes are deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

Information we collect about you and how we collect it

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Websites and Apps, including information:

  • by which you may be personally identified, such as name, e-mail address, telephone number, country, or any other information collected on the Websites or Apps that is defined as personal data or personally identifiable information under applicable law (“personal information”);
  • that is about you but individually does not identify you, such as whether you are a current user, product interests, or information related to your inquiry or request;
  • about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Websites or Apps, and usage details; and/or
  • about your medical condition, treatment options, physician referrals, prescriptions, and lab results, including protected health information (“PHI”) or other related health information.

We collect this information:

  • Directly from you when you provide it to us.
  • Automatically as you navigate through the Websites. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies.
  • From third parties intermediaries, for example, the physicians, medical professionals, and pharmacies with whom we partner to provide you with services.

Information You Give to Us. The information we collect on or through our Websites or Apps may include:

  • Information that you provide on our Websites or Apps. This includes information provided when you sign up for our Services when we process or respond to your inquiries related to requests for treatment, payment, customer service, and when you provide feedback on our Websites or Apps.
  • Your responses to questions that we might ask you to complete for research purposes.
  • Details of transactions you carry out through our Websites and Apps and of the fulfillment of your inquiries or requests.
  • Your search queries on the Websites.

Information We Collect About You. As with many other websites and mobile applications, as you navigate through and interact with our Websites or Apps, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

  • Details of your visits to our Websites or Apps, including traffic data, location data, logs, language, date and time of access, frequency, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Websites or Apps.
  • Information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP address, operating the system, host domain, and browser type.
  • Details of referring websites (URL). We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking).

The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may include personal information, or we may maintain it or associate it with personal information you provide to us or that we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Websites or Apps and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to:

  • Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.
  • Store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Websites or Apps according to your individual interests.
  • Speed up your searches.
  • Recognize you when you return to our Websites or Apps.

Cookies Used on the Websites.

Our Websites and Apps use two types of cookies: single-session (temporary) and multi-session (persistent). Temporary cookies last only as long as your web browser is open and are used for technical purposes such as enabling better navigation through our Websites or Apps. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer for longer periods and are used for purposes including tracking the number of unique visitors to our Websites and information such as the number of views a page gets, how much time a user spends on a page, and other pertinent web statistics. Cookies, by themselves, will not be used by PHARMACY to disclose your individual identity. This information identifies your browser, but not you, to our servers when you visit the Websites or Apps. We do not respond to ‘do not track signals in your browser. We may also collect data by using “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar means (collectively, “pixel tags”) that allow us to know when you visit our Websites or Apps. Through pixel tags, we obtain non-personal information or aggregate information that can be used to enhance your online experience and understand traffic patterns. Information We Receive From Other Sources. This is the information we receive about you if you use any of the other websites we operate or the other services we provide.

  • To communicate with you about our products and services and those of our subsidiaries, affiliates, and parent companies and any of their related businesses, and those of our third-party partners.

We will use this information and the combined information for the purposes set out above (depending on the types of information we receive).

Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose aggregated, de-identified information about our users and information that does not identify any individual without restriction. We may disclose your personal information to third parties in connection with the provision of our Services or as otherwise permitted or required by law. You agree that we have the right to disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy, including:

  • To any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries and affiliates, including our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries.
  • To health care providers (i) to schedule and fulfill appointments and provide health care services as part of the Services, (ii) to whom you send messages through our Services, and (iii) for other treatment, payment, or health care operations purposes, including pharmacy services, upon your request.
  • To health care organizations, pharmacies, contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business or in connection with the administration and support of the Services.
  • To our third-party service providers that provide services such as hosting our Websites or Apps, data analysis, IT services and infrastructure, customer service, e-mail delivery, auditing, and other similar services.
  • To any third parties, we believe it necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws.
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Pharmacy’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Pharmacy about our Website or App users is among the assets transferred.
  • To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it. For example, if you email us asking us to contact a third party (including a medical professional), we may transmit the contents of your email to the recipient.
  • For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information or with your consent.
  • If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Pharmacy, our customers, or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information. Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Websites or Apps may then be inaccessible or not function properly. Do Not Track. We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals as we do not track our customers across third-party websites. Promotional Offers from Pharmacy. If you do not wish to have your contact information used by Pharmacy to promote our own products or Services, you can check certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also always exercise your right to ask us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes by contacting us at the address below. If we have sent you a promotional email, you may send us a return email asking to be omitted from future email distributions. We do not control third parties collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way.

Accessing, Correcting & Deleting Your Information

You may contact us at the address below—or by emailing care@telecarepharma.com to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. If Pharmacy deletes your user account, medical providers and other affiliates may still have the right to retain information as required by applicable law, regulations, or their own retention policy. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect. Unless otherwise required by law, Pharmacy will also erase personal information when the personal information is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; when you withdraw your consent (where the lawfulness of processing was based on your consent), and there is no other legal ground for the processing; when you object to the processing, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing; when your personal information has been unlawfully processed; and when it is necessary to comply with legal obligations.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of our Websites and Apps, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Websites or Apps. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Websites or Apps; any transmission is at your own risk.

Third Parties

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices, including data privacy and security process and standards of any third parties, including physicians and other health care providers using the Services, the manufacturer of your mobile device and other IT hardware and software, and any other third-party mobile application or website to which our Websites, Apps, or Services may contain a link. These third parties may at times gather information from or about you. We have no control over the privacy practices of these third parties. 

Use by Minors

If you are under 18 years of age, we must obtain valid and verifiable consent by your parent or legal guardian to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use before you can use Websites, Apps, and Services. Such consent will be obtained via reasonable methods, as determined by us at our sole discretion. If we determine that the consent obtained is inadequate, we will notify you, and you may not use or access the Websites, Apps, or Services at any time or in any manner. However, if you are a parent, legal guardian, or personal representative of a minor child under 18 years of age, you may, in compliance with the Terms of Use, use our Services on behalf of such minor child. Any information you provide us on behalf of your minor child will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We do not knowingly collect information for individuals under the age of 18 for whom we have not obtained adequate consent pursuant to the above. If we learn that we have received any information for an individual under the age of 18 for whom we have not obtained adequate consent pursuant to the above, we will only use that information to respond directly to that child (or a parent, legal guardian, or personal representative) to inform him or her that he or she cannot use our Service, and subsequently, we will delete that information from our own servers.

California Residents

California law requires us to provide additional information regarding how we collect, use and share your “personal information” (as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)). Additional information for California resident can be found at PRIVACY POLICY FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
