The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.

Data sharing


We may share your personal information to the following categories of recipients:

  • To persons for whom we have your consent to share your personal information.
  • To our group companies for the purposes for which we are entitled to process your personal information under this Privacy
  • To third party service providers who work for us in the provision of our services and with whom we have contractual relationship. Your data may also be processed by a third party if required to deliver a service you have requested. For example, to a dispensing pharmacy in order to fulfil an order, regulatory bodies and healthcare professionals.
  • To any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party where we believe it is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation; (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person. For example, we are required under the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) to maintain a register of shareholders and make it available for inspection by the public. We may also be required to disclose information about your shareholding to regulatory bodies such as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Australian Taxation Office.

We will have written contracts with them which provide assurances regarding the protections that they will give to your personal information and their compliance with our data security standards and international transfer restrictions.

Third-party sites and features


Our websites may contain links to other websites operated by third parties and may include social media features such as Facebook and Twitter buttons (such as “Like,” “Tweet” or “Pin”). These third-party sites may collect information about you if you click on a link and the social media sites may automatically record information about your browsing behaviour every time you visit a website that has a social media button. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the feature, not by this Privacy Policy. We do not control what information these third parties collect. Please review your privacy settings on your social media sites and think carefully before clicking on links which may take you to a third-party website.

Data security and retention


Security

We take security seriously and care about the integrity of your personal information. We use commercially reasonable physical, administrative, and technological methods to secure your personal information and protect it from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.

In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

Data retention

In order to deliver our core functions and to ensure we meet our legal data protection and privacy obligations, we will retain your information for at least as long as your account is active, as needed to provide you services, as long as is needed to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected (and any other linked purpose) or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information (as described above), we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

International transfers


Personal information collected from interactions with Myopharm UK is stored securely within the UK.

We will not transfer data collected and stored within the EEA (including the UK) to any country outside of the EEA that is not recognised as ensuring an adequate level of protection, without compliance with the relevant legal or regulatory requirements. These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect personal information they process from the EEA or the UK in accordance with European Union data protection law. In addition, where required, we have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers. Further details on our international transfer safeguards are available on request.

Personal information collected from interactions with one of our entities in Australia is stored securely in Australia. We may disclose information outside of Australia where we have a legal right to do so and to its group companies located overseas in the normal course of its business. Our policy is to comply with the requirements of the applicable laws which apply to cross border disclosure of personal information.

  • You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. 

Where you exercise your data protection rights, our response will depend on our role as a controller or processor, our legal basis for processing and whether or not any exemptions are available under applicable privacy or data protection laws. If you wish to exercise any of these rights in relation to personal information provided to us by your healthcare professional and for which we are a processor, please contact your healthcare professional directly.
