Personal Information We Collect, Use and Share

HOW WE USE COLLECTED PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use your Personally Identifiable Information to:

Contact you with information about our products, Services or your transactions;
Send e-mail alerts or newsletters;
Provide you with customer service;
Send you marketing communications or administrative information;
Facilitate social sharing functionality that you initiate;
Cooperate with law enforcement. If law enforcement officials or judicial authorities request that we provide Personal Information, we may do so.

In matters involving claims of personal or public safety or in litigation where the information is pertinent (including to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain), we may use or disclose Personal Information, including without court process. We may also use or disclose Personal Information to enforce our Terms and Conditions or other agreements, to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates, or to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others; or investigate security breaches or otherwise cooperate with authorities.

California Residents’ Privacy Rights

The CCPA grants Consumers with certain rights, which are subject to certain limitations and exceptions. This section describes these rights. If we are not able to complete some or all of a Consumer’s verifiable consumer request, we will communicate the reason to the Consumer in writing. We treat all doctors and other healthcare providers who visit our websites as representatives of their business (whether sole proprietor or otherwise), who provide information through our websites in their business capacity, and this section does not apply to information related to such business contacts.

Information. Consumers can request information about the personal information we have collected about them and how we have used and shared their Personal Information during the past 12 months.
Access. Consumers can request a copy of the personal information that we have collected about them over the past 12 months. In certain cases, we are not permitted by the CCPA to provide you with certain sensitive information in response to an access request, such as your social security or driver’s license number.
Deletion. Consumers can ask us to delete the personal information that we have collected from them. In certain circumstances, the CCPA allows us to deny Consumer requests to delete their personal information, such as where we need the information to complete a transaction for which the personal information was collected or where we need the personal information to comply with a legal obligation.

Consumers are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination.

To request access to or deletion of personal information, Consumers can contact us as follows:

  Attn: Compliance Officer
  5 Walnut Grove Drive, Ste. 140
  Horsham, PA 19044

Identity verification. The CCPA requires us to verify the identity of the individual submitting a Consumer request to access or delete personal information before providing a substantive response to the request. Where possible, we will attempt to verify your identify by asking you to confirm information that we have on file about your or your interactions with us. Where we must ask for additional personal information to verify your identity, we will only use it to verify your identity or your authority to make the request on behalf of another consumer. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your rights.
Authorized agents. You can designate an “authorized agent” who has registered with the California Secretary of State to submit verifiable consumer requests on their behalf. You can also make a Consumer request on behalf of your minor child. We will require the authorized agent to have a written authorization confirming that authority.

How We Respond to Verifiable Consumer Requests

We will acknowledge receipt of your verifiable consumer request within 10 days of our receipt of your request, and we will endeavor to substantively respond within 45 days of our receipt of your request. If we need to extend our response time (up to 90 days from receipt of your request), we will inform you in writing of our reasons for doing so. We will deliver your personal information via your online account with us, if you have one, or by other secure electronic means. If we are unable to process your verifiable consumer request in whole or in part, we will explain our reasons for doing so.

Please note that we do not typically charge a fee to respond to verifiable consumer requests unless they are excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your verifiable consumer request warrants the assessment of a fee, we will inform you of the reasons supporting our determination and provide you with our estimate of the costs to fulfill your request before we take action to enable you to determine whether you would like us to complete your request.
