We may use or process your personal information for the following purposes:
to provide you with information about our services and other information that we think may be valuable to you, including via direct marketing communications (unless you have opted out);
to provide our services to you, which will include – to the extent necessary – sending communications to the third parties involved in the provision of such services (such as delivery service providers) which may include your name and delivery details, location (if you are sharing your location) and preferences that you have indicated and to doctors / clinics and health insurance providers to validate orders for prescription medicines and claims for direct insurance payment of charges, which may involve sharing your prescription ERX number, details of your medical insurance, personal identifiers and any other relevant information;

6. On what basis we use your information
We use your personal information for the following reasons:
for our legitimate interests. Using your personal information helps us to operate, improve and minimise any disruption to the services that we may offer to you. We also have a legitimate interest in sending you information on our new products or services or updates to our services;
because the information is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request to enter into a contract (we cannot fulfil your order in accordance with your request without obtaining personal information from you);
because you have given your consent (if we expressly ask for consent to process your personal information, for a specific purpose); and
to comply with any legal and regulatory obligations.
If you have placed an order with us or signed-up to receive marketing communications we may also send you marketing communications by means such as email or SMS but we will always ensure you can opt-out from receiving such communications if you wish.

third parties who you may use our platforms or sites to confirm your orders for products such as your insurance provider or healthcare provider;
analytics companies and advertisers who collect information from our sites, unless you have opted out from the use of your information for marketing purposes; and

We will retain at least some of your information for as long as you maintain an account with us and we will also retain certain information for a reasonable period after your account has been closed but unless there is an overriding reason to retain your information, we will not keep it for more than one year after your account has been closed.
An overriding reason to keep your information for longer includes a legal obligation that we must comply with.
10. Security & Confidentiality
We are committed to protecting the information you provide us. We have implemented security policies, rules and technical measures designed to protect the personal data that we have under our control, in accordance with applicable laws.
