1. | We are committed to respecting the privacy of all of our
customers.
We are bound by, and intend to observe, the safeguards for your privacy
contained in this privacy policy, the code of ethics of the Manitoba Pharmaceutical
Association, the laws of Manitoba and the laws of Canada. |
2. | Whenever you send us an order you are giving your consent
that we may collect, retain, use or disclose information about you in accordance
with this privacy policy. |
3. | Our rights and obligations in respect of such information
about you are the same whether:
- you deal with us directly;
- someone else (such as a health plan, doctor or parent) who has authority
to do so, acts in some or all respects on your behalf.
Authority to act on your behalf can arise from either your consent or
by operation of law. |
4. | Under this privacy policy, we may collect, retain, use or
disclose information about you only when it is reasonable for us to do so
for any one of the following legitimate purposes:
- to enable us to fill an initial or further order from you in a safe,
ethical and effective manner;
- to assist you with delivery of the product or service;
- to obtain payment;
- to satisfy any legal or ethical requirements that apply to us with respect
to obtaining or retaining of information about a customer;
- to protect our position in the context of possible or actual civil proceedings
or government proceedings against us;
- to comply with the laws of Canada and Manitoba, including complying with
court orders.
|
5. | We may collect information about you only if you give us
the information in connection with an order, or if someone else with authority
to do so (such as your health plan, doctor or parent) does so on your behalf
|
6. | Within our company, individual officers and employees may
only access, retain, use or share information about you to the extent that
is reasonably necessary for a legitimate purpose as set out in point 4 of
this privacy policy. |
7. | We may share information about you with third parties who
provide a service to us, such as our accountants, lawyers or outside data
processors.
We will only deal with such third parties whom we reasonably trust to
respect and safeguard your privacy. We will give them only the minimum
information about you that they need to provide us with their services.
|
8. | We may similarly share your personal health information
with trusted third parties who provide services needed in connection with
an order - such as transporting the product to you or paying us for it on
your behalf. |
9. | We will not retain information about you longer than is
reasonably necessary for a legitimate purpose as set out in point 4 of this
privacy policy. |
10. | We will not sell information about you to anyone outside
of our company. The only exception is that we may transfer information about
you in the context of a reorganization, or sale or lease of our business,
as explained in points 11 and 12 of this privacy policy. |
11. | If we are involved in a corporate reorganization, the company
that emerges will have the same rights as we do:
- to retain, use or disclose information about you that we had already
collected about you;
- to seek and collect additional information about you.
- "Reorganization" includes actions such as changing the ownership or
control of our company or merging with, or taking over, another company.
- Before we reorganize or sell our business, we will take reasonable steps
to ensure that that the emerging company or new owner will have a privacy
policy equivalent to ours.
|
12. | The same principles apply if we sell or lease our pharmacy
business (in whole or in part). Specifically:
- The new owner or lessee assumes our position with respect to our rights
to deal with or obtain information about you;
- Before selling or leasing our business, we will take reasonable steps
to ensure that the new owner or the lessee has a privacy policy equivalent
to ours.
|
13. | We may send material to you promoting our own products and
services unless you ask us at any time not to. |
14. | We will take reasonable steps to maintain the security of
information we have about you. |
15. | You have the right to ask us what information we have about
you.
We will respond to your requests promptly. After you review such information,
if you point out any inaccuracies, we will correct them. |
16. | We will remove information about you from our records at
your request, unless it is reasonable for us to retain the information for
a legitimate purpose as set out in point 4 of this privacy policy. |
17. | We have an employee who is responsible for administering
this privacy policy, including responding to requests for information or
to addressing complaints.

18. | "Information about you" in this privacy policy means information
in a form that can be linked to you. |
19. | We may collect, retain, use or disclose data that is about
you if we do so in a way that fully protects you anonymity. For example,
we might compile and publish or sell statistics about how many of our customers
ordered a particular product in a given month. |

including our on-line transactions. |
