What information Quality Drug collects

​

We collect information about you only if we need the information for a legitimate purpose. Quality Drug will have information about you only if (a) you have provided the information yourself, (b) Quality Drug has automatically collected the information (i.e. as part of a purchase may at one of our stores), or (c) Quality Drug has obtained the information from a third party (i.e. when a prescription is transferred to us on your behalf). Below we describe the various scenarios that fall under each of those three categories and the information collected in each one. Personal information collected by us in the 12 months preceding this Privacy Policy's last update is also consistent with the following.

​

 

Information that you provide us

​

i. Account signup: When you sign up for an account to access one or more of our services (i.e. prescription refills through our website), we may ask for information like your name, email, phone number and home address to complete the account signup process. Depending on the type of account, you may also need to choose a unique username and password to make access to your account easier.

 

​ii. Event registrations and other form submissions: We record information that you submit when you (i) register for an event, including workshops or seminars, (ii) subscribe to our newsletter or any other mailing list, (iii) submit a form in order to fill a prescription, (iv) participate in contests or respond to surveys, or (v) submit a form to request customer support or to contact Quality Drug for any other purpose.

 

​iii. Payment processing: When you buy something from us, we ask you to provide your name, contact information, and credit card information or other payment account information. When you submit your card information, we store the name and address of the cardholder, the expiry date and the last four digits of the credit card number. We do not store the actual credit card number. For quick processing of future payments, if you have given us your approval, we may store your credit card information or other payment information in an encrypted format in the secured servers of our Payment Gateway Service Providers.

 

​iv. Testimonials: When you authorize us to post testimonials about our products and services on websites, we may include your name and other personal information in the testimonial. You will be given an opportunity to review and approve the testimonial before we post it. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial, you can contact us.

We share your information only in ways that are described in this Privacy Policy, and only with parties who adopt appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

​

Employees and independent contractors: Employees and independent contractors of all Quality Drug Holdings Corporation entities have access to the information covered in Part I on a need-to-know basis. We require all employees and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Policy to protect your information.

​

Other cases: Other scenarios in which we may share the same information covered under Parts I and II are described in Part III.

​

​

Your rights in regards to your information 

​

You have the following rights with respect to information that Quality Drug holds about you. Quality Drug undertakes to provide you the same rights no matter where you choose to live.

​

Right to access: You have the right to access (and obtain a copy of, if required) the categories of personal information that we hold about you, including the information's source, purpose and period of processing, and the persons to whom the information is shared.

​

Right to rectification: You have the right to update the information we hold about you or to rectify any inaccuracies. Based on the purpose for which we use your information, you can instruct us to add supplemental information about you in our database.

​

Right to erasure: You have the right to request that we delete your personal information in certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected.

​

Right to restriction of processing: You may also have the right to request to restrict the use of your information in certain circumstances, such as when you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

​

Right to data portability: You have the right to transfer your information to a third party in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, in circumstances where the information is processed with your consent or by automated means.

​

Right to object: You have the right to object to the use of your information in certain circumstances, such as the use of your personal information for direct marketing.

​

​

Your rights under CCPA

​

CCPA provides you five rights, of which two are covered as part of the rights listed above. These two are: right to access of personal information and right to request deletion of personal information. The third is the right to opt-out of sale, which is redundant since we promise not to sell or monetize your data in any way. The fourth right available to you under CCPA is the right against discrimination because you exercised the rights available to you and the fifth is the right to protection against waiver of rights.

​

You can exercise the rights described above, by sending an email using our contact page or by writing to: Quality Drug Corporation, 18 Technology Dr, Ste 104, Irvine, CA 92618. Only you, or an agent authorized to make a request on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. 

​

We cannot respond to your request if, (i) we cannot verify your identity; or (ii) your request lacks sufficient details to help us handle the request. We endeavor to comply with a request within 30 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 60 days), we will inform you, in writing, the reason for the delay.

​

Any information we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the request's receipt. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

​

​

Retention of information

​

We retain your personal information for as long as it is required for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. Sometimes, we may retain your information for longer periods as permitted or required by law, such as to maintain suppression lists, prevent abuse, if required in connection with a legal claim or proceeding, to enforce our agreements, for tax, accounting, or to comply with other legal obligations. When we no longer have a legitimate need to retain your information, personally identifiable details will be removed from our active databases and securely archived until deletion is possible.

​

​

Part II – Information that we process as a service provider

​

Information entrusted to Quality Drug and purpose

​

Information provided in connection with services: You may entrust information that you or your organization (“you”) control, to Quality Drug in connection with use of our services or for requesting technical support for our products. This includes information regarding your customers and your employees or data that you hold and use on behalf of another person for a specific purpose, such as a customer to whom you provide services. The data may either be stored on our servers when you use our services, or transferred or shared to us as part of a request for technical support or other services.

​

Information from mobile devices: When you elect to allow it, some of our mobile applications have access to the camera, contact information, photo library, and other information stored on your mobile device. Our applications require such access to provide their services. Similarly, when you elect to provide access, location-based information is also collected for purposes including, but not limited to, setting location-based reminders. This information will be exclusively shared with our mapping providers and will be used only for mapping user locations. You may disable the mobile applications' access to this information at any time by editing the settings on your mobile device. The data stored on your mobile device and their location information to which the mobile applications have access will be used in the context of the mobile application, and transferred to and associated with your account in the corresponding services (in which case the data will be stored on our servers) or products (in which case the data will remain with you unless you share it with us).

​

​

Ownership and control of your service data

​

All the information entrusted to Quality Drug is collectively termed “service data” and we recognize that you own this data. We provide you complete control of your service data by providing you the ability to (i) access your service data, (ii) share your service data through supported third-party integrations, and (iii) request export or deletion of your service data.

​

​

How we use service data

​

We process your service data when you provide us instructions through the various modules of our services. For example, when filling prescriptions for a clinical patient, information such as the name and address of your customer will be used to generate the order; and when you use our text-to-refill service, the phone number of the persons on receiving the prescription would be used for sending the message.

​

​

Push notifications

​

If you have enabled notification on our desktop and mobile applications, we will push notifications through a push notification provider such as Apple Push Notification Service, Google Cloud Messaging or Windows Push Notification Services. You can manage your push notification preferences or deactivate these notifications by turning off notifications in the application or device settings.

​

​

Who we share service data with

​

Quality Drug Holdings Corporation and third party sub-contractors: In order to provide services and technical support for our products, the contracting entity within the Quality Drug Holdings Corporation engages other group entities and third parties.

​

Employees and independent contractors: We may provide access to your service data to our employees and individuals who are independent contractors of the Quality Drug Holdings Corporation entities involved in providing the services (collectively our “employees”) so that they can (i) identify, analyze and resolve errors, (ii) manually verify emails reported as spam to improve spam detection, or (iii) manually verify scanned images that you submit to us to verify the accuracy of optical character recognition. We ensure that access by our employees to your service data is restricted to specific individuals, and is logged and audited. Our employees will also have access to data that you knowingly share with us for technical support or to import data into our products or services. We communicate our privacy and security guidelines to our employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within the Quality Drug Holdings Corporation.

​

Other cases: Other scenarios in which we may share information that are common to information covered under Parts I and II are described in Part III.

​

​

​

We hold the data in your account as long as you choose to use Quality Drug Services. Once you terminate your Quality Drug user account, your data will usually be deleted from our active database within 24 hours. Any information stored our archive will be deleted after 3 months except in circumstances that require a longer retention period.

​

​

Part III – General

​

Children's personal information

​

Our products and services are not directed to minors and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If we become aware that a under aged child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you believe that a minor has provided personal information to us, please contact us with the details, and we will take the necessary steps to delete the information we hold about that child.

​

​

How secure is your information

​

At Quality Drug, we take data security very seriously and have certified our systems using industry standards to protect your information. We have taken steps to implement appropriate administrative, technical & physical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure or destruction of the information you entrust to us. If you have any concerns regarding the security of your data, please contact us and we'll be happy to answer any questions.

​

​

Data processing addendum

​

For businesses requiring a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) for data protection obligations under the CCPA, we can provide this upon request through our contact page. Once we receive your request, we'll send the completed DPA to you for your signature.

​

​

Do Not Track (DNT) requests

​

Some internet browsers have enabled 'Do Not Track' (DNT) features, which send out a signal (called the DNT signal) to the websites that you visit indicating that you don't wish to be tracked. Currently, there is no standard that governs what websites can or should do when they receive these signals. For now, we do not take action in response to these signals.

​

​

External links on our websites

​

Some pages of our websites may contain links to websites that are not linked to this Privacy Policy. If you submit your personal information to any of these third-party sites, your personal information is governed by their privacy policies. As a safety measure, we recommend that you not share personal information with any third parties unless you've checked their privacy policies and assured yourself of their privacy practices.

​

​

Blogs and forums

​

We offer publicly accessible blogs and forums on our websites. Please be aware that any information you provide on these blogs and forums may be used to contact you with unsolicited messages. We urge you to be cautious in disclosing personal information in our blogs and forums. Quality Drug is not responsible for the personal information you elect to disclose publicly. Your posts and certain profile information may remain even after you terminate your account with Quality Drug. To request the removal of your information from our blogs and forums, you can contact us.

​

​

We will notify you via email or through a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or in the uses of your personal information and service data. We will also notify you about any choices you may have regarding your personal information and service data.
