Health information is treated as sensitive personal information and may be subject to additional legal protection.

Where such information is necessary for a pharmacy consultation, prescribing, or other healthcare-related service, we will process it only where an appropriate legal basis and applicable condition for processing exist.

Access to health-related information will be restricted to authorized individuals or service providers who have a legitimate reason to access it.

4. Lawful basis for processing

The legal basis for processing your information depends on the reason we collect and use it. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect processing that was carried out lawfully before consent was withdrawn.

Depending on the circumstances, TopPharma may process personal information because:

  • It is necessary to provide a service or fulfill a contract with you
  • We need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation
  • We have a legitimate interest that is not overridden by your privacy rights
  • You have given us your consent
  • Processing is necessary for an appropriate healthcare-related purpose where applicable

  • Pharmacists, clinicians, and authorized healthcare professionals
  • Delivery and courier providers
  • Payment processing companies
  • Website hosting and technology providers
  • IT and cybersecurity providers
  • Analytics and website-performance providers
  • Professional advisers
  • Regulatory bodies, law-enforcement agencies, or government authorities where legally required

6. Third-party communication platforms

If you contact TopPharma through a third-party communication service, such as WhatsApp or another messaging platform, information you provide may also be processed by that platform under its own privacy policy and terms.

Please avoid providing unnecessary sensitive or medical information through third-party communication channels.

7. Cookies and analytics

Some cookies may be essential for website operation, while other cookies may require your consent. Where applicable, you can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie settings or your browser. Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Unauthorized access
  • Accidental loss
  • Unauthorized disclosure
  • Alteration
  • Misuse
  • Destruction

9. How long we keep your information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, healthcare, or operational requirements.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type and purpose of the information.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or dispose of it.

10. International data transfers

Some of the technology and service providers used by TopPharma may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer has suitable safeguards where required by applicable UK data protection law.
