This Policy covers the treatment of personally identifiable information, i.e., any information that identifies an individual, or can be used in conjunction with other information to identify an individual (“Personal Information”) and other information gathered by Medzy when you are accessing the Services. This Policy also covers Medzy’s treatment of any Personal Information that Medzy may share with its business partners or other third parties under very limited circumstances.
This Policy does not apply to the general practices and treatment of information (whether Personal or not) by third parties that Medzy does not own or control, including, but not limited to, any third-party websites or services that you elect to access through the Services or via a link from the Services that are not owned by Medzy, including the third-party websites or services of any Current Pharmacy or Participating Pharmacy (“Third-Party Websites”), or to individuals that Medzy does not manage or employ. While we attempt to facilitate access or link only to those Third-Party Websites that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third-Party Websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third-Party Website that you access.
Finally, this Policy does not cover any Personal Information you send to Medzy via any non-secured, non-encrypted mode of communication, such as email, instant messenger or other messaging service, or Facebook, Instagram or any other social media, as communications via these methods may be subject to interception, loss, or alteration. While we welcome your comments and suggestions sent to us in this manner, we encourage you to carefully examine what Personal Information you send to Medzy via these methods.

Personal Information is only gathered with your informed consent. By using the Services, you are providing your consent to the collection, use, processing, transfer, disclosure and retention of your Personal Information as set out in this Policy.

We use the date of birth and your assertion of their relationship with you to confirm your eligibility to obtain the Services for that individual and their eligibility to receive the Services.
