How we get the personal information and why we have it

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the following reasons:

• We use the information that you have given us in order to provide our products and services or to fulfill our legal obligations. Some personal information you provide is essential for us to provide these products and services. Some personal information we collect helps us run our business efficiently and effectively or to provide you with more relevant and personalised offers and information.
• As permitted under soft-opt-in and the GDPR, we use the information to correspond with you from time to time to our business. We may also correspond with existing or registered customers or subscribers to our newsletter of the products and services we offer, any new business or offers directly with eShop Pharmacy or other businesses within Everything Medical. You can choose to opt out of such marketing at any time using the unsubscribe option or the preferences in your online customer account.
• We also collect sensitive personal data from you such as your date of birth, gender, health and medical history. This is to ensure we can offer certain products and services, such as prescribing and dispensing medications legally, safely and accurately; offering health advice and consultations, and other healthcare services you may request from us from time to time  
• We may be required to confirm the identity of our customers who order certain health care related products. We use credit agencies to confirm your identity in the form of a soft credit search. We currently use Equifax but we are entitled to use other companies from time to time without prior notice. If we are unable to verify your identity, we may request proof of identification in the form of a passport or driving license. We may use other services to verify the authenticity of the identification document provided, such as an MRZ search.
• We may collect and store payment card information so we can process your order and take payment for the products and services you wish to purchase.
• We do collect some personal information automatically from you when you visit this website and other related websites within Everything Medical, using cookies and tools such as Hotjar, Google analytics and Facebook.

We also monitor website sessions to see how users interact with forms and pages. The information that we collect automatically is used to protect our websites and improve them.

We may also receive personal information indirectly, from the following sources in the following scenarios:

Information and data obtained from other commercially-available sources, like the electoral roll and companies such as Experian and Equifax that collate and update data. This helps us keep our records up to date, and learn more about our customers so we can continue to improve our products and services to them. We only work with organisations that obtain their data legally from publicly available or consent-based sources.

Information and data obtained from companies within Everything Medical and closely related companies under common control, as defined under 03570 (CTM03570) of HMRC’s Company Tax Manual (CTM)

Occasionally, for marketing purposes, we may obtain lists of potential customers from external companies. We’ll only deal with reputable companies that take privacy and data protection as seriously as we do, and have obtained consent to share this data with us. We’ll always let you choose not to receive further marketing material from us. 

We may share this information with companies which we are legally obliged to provide details to as part of our regulations, non-eShop Pharmacy brands such as companies within the Everything Medical group and closely related companies under common control, as defined under 03570 (CTM03570) of HMRC’s Company Tax Manual (CTM) including but not limited to eShop Health, AllCheckedUp, DfC Marketing and EEUK Limited. We may pass your personal data to companies that provide services on our behalf. Some personal information is necessary in order to provide the products and services to you or improving them.

When third parties no longer need your data to fulfil this service, they will dispose of the details in line with eShop Pharmacy procedures.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

• Contractual obligation. Such as processing data for the purposes of a contract to which you are party to. This can include when purchasing a product or service from us, we are required to obtain your personal information such as your name and delivery address to fulfill the order.

• Vital interest. Such as if we have an obligation under regulations as a pharmacy to report a safeguarding matter to protect someone’s life

We process sensitive personal information about you such as your medical history because it is necessary for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, to assess whether you are able to work, medical diagnosis, to provide health or social care or treatment, or to manage health-care or social-care systems (including to monitor whether we are meeting expectations relating to our clinical and non-clinical performance).

We carry out analytics on data about the medicines we dispense. If we carry out this analysis, we anonymise data it in line with the ICO Anonymisation Standards, so it’s not linked to you and you cannot be identified from it. We analyse data as it helps us get a better understanding of how our dispensing activity operates, which may include audits as part of our obligations to meet Pharmacy standards set by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and other healthcare regulators including but not limited to the Care Quality Commission (CQC). It also helps us understand how our business is operating and helps us to improve our products and services.

We may share information with countries inside and outside of Europe such as Republic of Ireland, Germany, US, Vietnam, China, India and Thailand.  Not all countries outside the EEA have data-protection laws that are equivalent to those in the EEA, the European Commission may not consider such countries as providing an adequate level of data protection.
