Revised: Thursday, April 24, 2014

Our Commitment

The websites Powered by uniPHARM are operated by uniPHARM Wholesale Drugs Ltd. on behalf of its member pharmacies and their customers. uniPHARM recognizes and respects personal privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information in our possession.

Why We Collect Personal Information

We may collect personal information (including, where applicable, your name, mailing address, email address, phone number and technical information) for the following purposes:

  • to respond to your inquiries for information, products or services;
  • to advise you of our products and services including any special offers;
  • to help us tailor our websites so that they are meaningful and relevant to you;
  • to allow us to provide classified ads and discussion forums for our shareholders;
  • to compile polling results and survey information when polls and surveys are carried out.

In providing your personal information to us, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of such information for the applicable purposes as set out herein. Except where authorized or required by law, we will not collect, use or disclose your personal information without your consent. You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information on reasonable notice. We are not in the business of selling your personal information to others.

Protecting Personal Information

We are committed to ensuring the security of personal information in our possession and in that regard we will review and upgrade our security systems on a regular basis. Access to personal information will be limited to selected employees within our organization. Where information must be provided to others, that information will be limited to that which is specifically required for a particular task. For example, a shareholder may need to provide his or her name, phone number and e-mail address, to make use of the classified ads available on our websites. By submitting such information as part of a shareholder's involvement with the classified ads, such shareholder is consenting to the disclosure of such personal information within the classified ads.

We will do our best to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up-to-date. However, it is important that you contact us to advise us of changes to your information.

Registration

We do not require registration for the use of most parts of this website. If registration is required for a particular portion it is optional. If you do not wish to register, create a customer profile, or provide personal information, you will still have access to the majority of the website, with the exception of the areas that require registration. If you decide to register, you will be able to view and update your profile at any time.

Shareholders

Although you do not need to register or have a user account to view the majority of our website, we do have a special section of the website that is restricted for the exclusive use of our shareholders. You must have a special website user account with uniPHARM to access the restricted portion of this site. Members of the general public are not eligible to register for an account. Instead, our shareholders are assigned a user name and password as required.

Currently our shareholder accounts are linked only to a user name and login. No other company or personal information related to your account is stored on the web server.
