Ozempic Parapharmacy Network

Users who choose to have prescribed treatment dispensed through the Ozempic Pharmacy Network may opt to receive purchases through the mail. Information provided to third party shipping carriers may include:

First and last name
Shipping address
Telephone number
Email address

Disclosure is limited to the information that is needed to perform courier duties and provide you with your ordered products and services. Ozempic Parapharmacy is not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to third parties. Users must contact the third party directly to manage privacy preferences.

In compliance with the Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act ByLaws in British Columbia, all prescription information must be recorded in PharmaNet at the time of dispensing to keep the patient record current. Users who are patients of Ozempic Parapharmacy are therefore advised that external medical practitioners with whom you are a patient, may be permitted to view medication dispensing history.

Medical Record Disclosure

Users can request access to their Ozempic Parapharmacy Health and/or Ozempic Parapharmacy medical record at any time within the outlined Medical Record Retention Schedule, based on your province of residence at the time of receiving care. Medical records may be disclosed to the subject User or to another individual/location based on the consent provided by the User. To request a copy of your medical records, please contact sales@ozempicparapharmacy.store.

We will never disclose medical records to external Authorized Healthcare Professionals or Authorized Non-Practitioner Professionals without collecting the required consent. Users who receive insurance coverage through provincial health plans are responsible for understanding information sharing practices associated with this coverage. Depending on your province of residence, external care providers with whom you are a registered patient may be permitted to view medication dispensing history.

Consent for Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Personal Information

As am Ozempic Parapharmacy User, the arrangement between you and Ozempic Parapharmacy, including your rights and obligations and those of Ozempic Parapharmacy, is set out in the Terms of Use and, where applicable, supplementary Terms.

Consent is obtained at that time Personal Information (for the purposes of this Section collectively referring to PHI and PII) is collected, prior to the use or disclosure of this Information for any purpose. Consent can be provided orally, electronically, or in writing. The form of consent required, including whether it is expressed or implied, largely depends on the sensitivity of the Information, and reasonable User expectations in the circumstances. We may rely on a third party to obtain your consent to the sharing of Personal Information with us. You may withdraw consent by providing us with notice, expressly instructing that their personal health information not be used, or disclosed for healthcare purposes without consent.

Accountability

In most of the provinces in which Ozempic Parapharmacy operates, Ozempic Parapharmacy has overall responsibility for protecting the privacy of your Personal Information, including information collected in connection with the provision of health services through the Ozempic Parapharmacy Platform (“Health Information”) by a healthcare provider, such as a physician or nurse practitioner.

In Alberta, your healthcare provider has overall responsibility for the privacy of your Health Information, and Ozempic Parapharmacy assists the healthcare provider in meeting that responsibility. For greater clarity, in Alberta, Ozempic Parapharmacy handles Health Information on behalf of healthcare providers, who are ‘custodians’ under Alberta’s Health Information Act (the “HIA”). Health Information is collected pursuant to section 20 (in conjunction with section 27(1)) of the HIA.

Safeguarding Information

We have implemented physical, organizational, contractual and technological security measures to protect Personal Information (for the purposes of this Section collectively referring to PHI and PII) from loss or theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. Notwithstanding the safeguards we employ and our commitment to protecting Information, we cannot guarantee the security or error-free transmission or storage of Information. There are risks inherent in the use of electronic means to transmit and hold Information in electronic format. These risks can be minimized but not eliminated by the use of appropriate security measures, such as the measures Ozempic Parapharmacy employs. These risks include interception, loss, corruption, unauthorised access to, use and disclosure of Information, and delay in the availability of Information.

The only Personnel or third party service providers who are granted access to your Personal Information, are those with a business ‘need-to-know’ or whose duties reasonably require such information. We require Personnel to complete privacy and security training, and to commit to protecting information by complying with our policies, procedures, and Applicable Law.

Cookies and De-identified Data

Ozempic Parapharmacy may collect and use data created by de-identifying Information so that it no longer identifies a User (“Data”). Ozempic Pharmacy may use Data for monitoring the compliance of Users and Authorized Healthcare Professionals with Ozempic Parapharmacy Platform Terms of Use, for making the Ozempic Parapharmacy Platform more accessible and enhancing the experience for Users and Authorized Healthcare Professionals. We may also use or disclose Data for the purposes of product and marketing research. We will not use Data to re-identify Users or for any other purpose prohibited by Applicable Law. We will only de-identify Information in a manner that complies with Applicable Law.

The Ozempic Parapharmacy Platform, email messages, and marketing materials use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. We use these technologies to better understand the use of the Ozempic Parapharmacy Platform, analyze trends, and administer, personalize and improve the experience of using the Ozempic Parapharmacy Platform for Users and Authorized Healthcare Professionals.
