As the data controller for your information, Jacob Plavnick may be contacted at the Clifton Suspension Bridge Visitor Centre, Bridge Rd, Leigh Woods, Bristol BS8 3PA, United Kingdom or via email at [email protected].

We are committed to preserving the integrity and confidentiality of your information as part of our ongoing compliance responsibilities.

Categories of Personal Data Collected

We process various categories of personal data depending on your interaction with our site. This may include identifiers such as your name, email address, country of residence, and, where applicable, limited health queries you submit through our inquiry forms. Data relating to your use of our site, such as pages viewed, time spent, and navigation actions, may be collected via cookies and similar technologies. Additionally, we may process device information, IP address, and browser details for analytics or site security. All information collected is handled in line with data minimization and relevance requirements and is not used for profiling except for purposes stated in this notice. We employ suitable security measures to ensure that all categories of data are protected from unauthorized access or disclosure while being stored, processed, or transmitted.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

All processing of personal data at Walton Family Pharma Hub is founded on a lawful basis consistent with applicable United States privacy laws. The core legal justifications include your explicit consent for data you voluntarily provide, fulfillment of requested services, compliance with statutory or regulatory obligations, and legitimate interests such as website operation, analytics, and fraud prevention. We may seek your consent separately for certain uses of data, such as subscribing to a newsletter or participating in community discussions if available. Where data is processed based on legitimate interests, we ensure such interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights and freedoms. This thorough approach ensures responsible stewardship and balanced consideration for user expectations regarding privacy and security.

Purpose and Use of Collected Data

Your personal data is primarily used to provide you with accurate pharmaceutical information, respond to your inquiries or requests, customize website experiences, and facilitate communication between you and Walton Family Pharma Hub. We also utilize information for internal processes such as analytics, site improvement, detecting technical issues, and ensuring system security. Some of your data may be used for compliance with applicable laws and regulations or to protect the vital interests of users and the public. We never sell, lease, or disclose your personal information to advertisers or unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes. Only where necessary, our trusted service providers may have limited access to your information under strict confidentiality agreements to assist with site operation, and they are required to adhere to equivalent data protection standards. Data may further be used in anonymized or aggregated form to generate usage statistics and to enhance our content delivery.

Data Sharing and Transfer Policy

Walton Family Pharma Hub does not share your personal data with third parties except when necessary to fulfill the purposes detailed in this policy or where legally required. When data sharing is undertaken, it is strictly controlled and aligned with applicable United States laws regarding user privacy. Any data processors, such as hosting providers, technology partners, or security auditors engaged by us, receive only what is necessary for their role and are contractually bound to protect and not misuse your information. Data transfers outside the United States, where undertaken, will be safeguarded by appropriate protection measures, ensuring comparable levels of security as those provided under U.S. law. By using our services, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred, stored, and processed as described here.

Data Retention Practices

Your personal data is retained only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with applicable legal obligations, or as otherwise permitted by law. Routine reviews are undertaken to ensure stored data remains relevant and is not held longer than needed. Once retention periods lapse or the data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized. We may retain communication records with users who contact us for up to 24 months to resolve inquiries or for audit purposes. Longer retention is considered where reasonably necessary for compliance with safeguards or other legal rights and obligations. We endeavor to ensure expired data is permanently and irretrievably removed from all active and backup systems.

Your Data Protection Rights

Walton Family Pharma Hub recognizes and upholds your legal rights regarding your personal information. These include the right to access personal data we retain about you, the right to request rectification of inaccurate data, the right to request deletion or erasure under valid circumstances, and the right to restrict or object to processing as applicable. You may also have the right to request the provision of your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. To exercise any of these rights, please contact the Data Controller at [email protected]. We are committed to addressing your requests in a timely and comprehensive manner, and to supporting your choices concerning your personal information throughout your interaction with our services.

Data Security and Safeguarding Measures

Our organization employs industry best practices, both technical and organizational, to maintain the integrity, reliability, and security of personal data processed on our platform. This encompasses, but is not limited to, encrypted communications, user authentication protocols, routine security audits, and controlled access privileges for staff with a need-to-know basis. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we execute a predefined incident response plan, which includes prompt notification to affected parties, authorities as required by law, and deploying remedial measures. Regular staff training and ongoing evaluation of our security infrastructure support our commitment to preventing unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure of your personal information.
