Your privacy matters to us.

At Weymouth Pharmasave, protecting the privacy of your personal and health information is a priority. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Weymouth Pharmasave is independently owned and operated under licence from Pharmasave Drugs (National) Ltd. This policy covers our store in Weymouth and this website. Pharmasave’s national websites and apps, such as pharmasave.com and eCare, are covered by Pharmasave’s national privacy policy.

We only collect information that is reasonable for the purpose it serves. This may include:

• Contact information, such as your name, email address and phone number, when you send us a message through our contact form.
• The content of your message, including the subject and anything you choose to write to us.
• Personal health information, such as prescriptions, medical history, allergies and drug-plan details, collected in the pharmacy so we can provide pharmacy care.
• Technical information, such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited, which helps keep this website secure and working well. This information does not identify you personally.

Please do not send detailed health information through the contact form. For prescription or medication questions, call us or speak with a pharmacist in person.

• To respond to your questions, requests and feedback.
• To fill prescriptions and provide pharmacy services, including medication reviews, vaccinations and other clinical services.
• To talk with your physicians, other health care providers and insurers or drug plans when this is needed for your care or to process a claim.
• To operate, maintain and improve our store and this website.
• To meet our legal and professional obligations.

By giving us your information, you consent to its collection, use and disclosure as described in this policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. If you withdraw consent, we may not be able to provide some services. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without a parent or guardian’s involvement.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We may share it only:

• With health care providers, insurers and drug plans involved in your care, as described above.
• With trusted service providers who help us run our pharmacy systems or this website, such as hosting and email delivery. They must keep your information confidential and use it only to provide their services to us.
• When required or permitted by law, for example to comply with a court order or to prevent fraud.
• As part of a sale or transfer of the business, provided the information continues to be protected.

Messages sent through this website are stored securely by our hosting provider and emailed to our store team. Some of our service providers may store or process information outside Canada, including in the United States. There, it may be subject to the laws of that country. We take reasonable steps to make sure your information receives a comparable level of protection.

We use physical, administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information from loss, theft and unauthorized access. These include restricted access to pharmacy records, staff confidentiality training and secure electronic systems. We keep personal information only as long as it is needed for the purposes above or as required by law. Pharmacy records are kept for the periods required by the Nova Scotia College of Pharmacists.
