Your Rights Under the GDPR

Where the GDPR applies, you have the following rights, subject to conditions and exceptions:

  • Right of access to your personal data and to receive a copy.
  • Right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”).
  • Right to restriction of processing.
  • Right to data portability.
  • Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling; and to object to direct marketing at any time.
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your habitual residence, place of work, or place of alleged infringement.

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact section. We may need to verify your identity and may request additional information to process your request. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.

U.S. State Privacy Disclosures

Residents of certain U.S. states (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia) may have rights such as: access, correction, deletion, portability, and the right to opt out of (i) sales of personal data, (ii) targeted advertising (cross-context behavioral advertising), and (iii) certain profiling. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

How to exercise U.S. rights: submit a request using the Contact section. If we deny your request (e.g., we cannot verify your identity), you may appeal by replying to our decision with the word “Appeal” in the subject line. If applicable law recognizes a global opt-out preference signal (such as a browser-based global privacy control), we will treat it as a valid request to opt out of sales or sharing for the browser or device that sends the signal, to the extent required by law.

Sale or Sharing of Personal Data and Targeted Advertising

We do not sell personal data for monetary consideration. We may engage in limited “sharing” or “targeted advertising” as defined by certain state laws through cookies or similar technologies for measurement and relevance. Where required, we obtain consent and/or provide an option to opt out. You can adjust your cookie preferences through your browser or any on-site controls and may also contact us to register an opt-out across your account, where applicable.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you. We may use profiling for personalization and analytics to improve content relevance; you can object or opt out where required by law.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our tools may link to pharmacies, manufacturers, or other third-party sites. Your interactions with those sites are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for third-party practices; please review their notices before providing data.

Changes to This Notice

We may update this Notice to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be indicated by updating the Effective Date and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice. Your continued use of the services after an update signifies acceptance of the revised Notice.
