Data Sharing and Disclosure

McCarthy Clan Pharmacy does not sell or rent personal information to third parties. We may disclose personal information to trusted partners or service providers who perform functions necessary for our operations, such as website hosting, data processing, or communications support. These providers are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of personal data and may not use information for purposes other than those specified in their contractual arrangements with us. We may disclose information as required by law, regulation, or legal process in compliance with applicable United States statutes and federal agency requirements. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the business, users will be notified in advance of any transfer of their information and provided with options regarding their data. We ensure that all third-party recipients handle data in a manner consistent with our privacy commitments and legal obligations. We reserve the right to share de-identified or aggregated data, which cannot be used to identify individuals, for research, trends analysis, or academic purposes.

Data Security and Retention

Safeguarding your personal information is a priority at McCarthy Clan Pharmacy. We employ comprehensive physical, electronic, and managerial security measures to protect against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of personal data. These measures include secure servers, encryption protocols, access controls, and regular security audits. We limit access to personal information to authorized personnel, and only as necessary for the performance of their official duties. All data is stored securely and retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law. When personal information is no longer needed, it is securely disposed of using industry best practices. We regularly review and update our security policies to address emerging threats and regulatory developments. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as completely secure, and users are encouraged to report any suspected privacy incidents promptly to our administrative contact.
