Personal information we collect 
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”. 

We collect Device Information using the following technologies: 
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org. 
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. 
- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site. 


Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information”.



When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information. 

We have an up-to-date registration for the NHS Data Security and Protection Security Toolkit.

 

We operate an ISO27001-aligned Information Security Management System.

Personal information we collect about you   

We may collect and use the following personal information about you:

Personal information is required to provide our services to you. If you do not provide personal information we ask for, it may delay or prevent us from providing services to you.  



How do we use your personal information? 
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to: 
- Communicate with you; 
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and 
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services. 

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns). 

Why we use your personal information  

Under data protection laws, we can only use your personal information if we have a proper reason for doing so, e.g.:  

  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;  

  • for the performance of our contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract;  

  • for our legitimate interests or those of a third party; or  

  • where you have given consent.  

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests.  

 

The table below explains what we use (process) your personal information for and our reasons for doing so:  

 

When you register with 365 Pharmacist, request that your password is reset, request that we fulfil your prescriptions or when you place an order for your prescription, we will send notification emails to your registered email address to fulfil our service obligations.
