Privacy Policy
Park Pharmacy is registered under the Data Protection Act in the United Kingdom. The information we collect about you is used to ensure you receive a personalised customer experience from the services you request from us. We have a firm commitment to protecting your privacy and all the information you provide.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, by accessing our site and using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy please do not use our site or services.
The information Park Pharmacy collects about You
Certain personal information is collected from you when you buy goods or services from us in order to allow us to process and fulfil your orders and give you notification of your order status. This information may include your telephone number which enables us to contact you urgently if there is a problem with your order such as a manufacturer product recall.
We may ask for further information for customers ordering pharmacy-only medicines to make sure that our pharmacists can check that the medicine is appropriate for you to use. This will mean collecting information about your health, including sensitive medical information.
We will need to know whether customers using our NHS Prescription service have to pay for NHS prescription items and if not (exempt from NHS charges) we need to know the reason for your exemption from payment. Additionally, we will collect information about your existing medical conditions and any prescription medication that’s prescribed for you by your Doctor. We will use this information to look after your healthcare as best we can, and that may mean us contacting you in certain circumstances that are relevant to your on-going care, including sending you reminders about repeat prescriptions.
How do we use it?
Occasionally we may use the information we collect from you to inform you of important changes to the functionality of our website or send you Park Pharmacy discount vouchers or promotions we think you will find useful. If you do not wish to receive any of this promotional information or material you may let us know at via our form on the Contact Page or at any time thereafter by following the process in any promotional emails you receive from us.
Will Park Pharmacy disclose the information it collects to outside parties?
We categorically do not disclose any personal information to any other third party organisation.
How long do we keep your personal information?
We hold your personal information for as long as we have a legal or business reason to do so, which generally means as long as you remain a customer or as required to meet our legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. To fulfil our obligations to NHS, regulatory or similar bodies, health-related personal information may need to be retained for a period of time after you cease to be a customer. We will always store it securely and will not use it for any other purpose.
Companies that provide services on our behalf
We share your personal information with companies that provide services on our behalfs, such as printers, couriers, mailing houses, manufacturers and suppliers. We always ensure these companies give your information the same level of care and security as we do.
Sharing with the NHS
We share information with NHS bodies to fulfil our legal obligations as a provider of Pharmacy services, or where we have a duty of care to do so.
If you have asked us to register you for an NHS scheme or service, we will pass your personal information to the NHS using a secure method of data transfer, so the NHS can register you for the relevant scheme or service.
If you choose to have one of the NHS services provided in our pharmacies, such as a Medicines Use Review, we will ask you for health-related information which is needed to fulfil our contractual obligations to the NHS. We share this information only with NHS bodies and will not use it in any other way, although we may use your contact details to send you reminders about any follow-up appointments.
Online Pharmacy services
If you purchase Pharmacy medicines from our site, we will expect you to have valid documentation including prescription in order to make sure that you are being correctly treated. This information is held securely on our systems and used only for processing your order. We won’t use it for any other purpose.
Similarly, if you use our Prescription Delivery Service, we will ask you to give us some health-related information online. This information is held securely on our Pharmacy system to allow Pharmacy staff to check your prescription history and medical conditions, ensuring you receive the best possible service from us.
This information is mostly taken within our Prescription Service page.
We may contact you by email or phone about your prescription so please ensure that you’re happy with the security and privacy of the email account you use in connection with this. Please note that if you send an email directly to our Pharmacy Service from your own email account, its contents will not be encrypted and therefore cannot be guaranteed to be secure.
