Canadian Online Pharmacy Privacy Policy
As a Canadian online pharmacy it is a top priority to protect your privacy just as if you were dealing with a company in the United States. We know the connotation of disclosing personal information while buying online medication may be somewhat disconcerting and that makes us want to work harder to ensure your privacy is protected.
Although you are dealing with a pharmacy online, we are a Canadian company, and therefore we adhere to the strict national standards in Canada. The national privacy standards in Canada are known as PIPEDA (The Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act).
We do collect personal information about you in order to fill your prescription orders and we pledge to maintain the confidentiality of that information. Although you are our customers, you are also patients of the medical professionals we work closely with. That is the reason we seek your consent to communicate with pharmacists and other medical professionals in order to ensure the medication order we send you is handled with utmost care while at the same time ensuring your privacy is maintained. We do not sell, rent or give away the information you have entrusted to us.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use the personal information you provide us on our website, by email, or the telephone. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you may access, delete, and update this information.
Privacy and Security
We have strict policies and procedures in place to safeguard the privacy and security when you disclose personal information to us. Our website is SSL encrypted and both McAfee Secured and Let’s Encrypt to ensure private data transferred to us meets the standards set by our Privacy Officer.
Your personal information, including the data contained in our computers and transferred to us online, is protected from unauthorized access. Its use is restricted to employees who have a legitimate business need and reason for accessing the information. All employees of CanDrugstore are required to adhere to the privacy standards we have established and to follow all applicable laws and regulations. Employees are strictly prohibited from accessing and/or disclosing your personal information without previous authorization. All employees are aware that failing to maintain the confidentiality of personal information at all times will result in immediate and appropriate disciplinary action.
