This policy explains what personal information we collect through our website and how we handle it. By using our website or placing an order, you agree to the practices described here.

Prescription details and any health information you share with us are treated as sensitive. They are used only to verify and fulfil your order and to give you pharmacist advice, and they are seen only by authorised pharmacy staff.
Please note: do not send sensitive medical details through the contact form or by email. Use the prescription upload at checkout or speak to our pharmacist directly.
5Who we share it with
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with trusted parties who help us run the service, and only as much as they need:
- Delivery partners to bring your order to you (name, phone number and address)
- Payment providers to process online and cash-on-delivery payments securely
- Technology providers for website hosting, analytics and email or messaging tools
- Authorities when required by law, a court order or a regulator
These parties are expected to protect your information and use it only for the service they provide to us.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the website, such as the cart and checkout, may not work properly without them.
7Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including secure connections (HTTPS), restricted access and trusted service providers. No online system is completely risk-free, so we also encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to keep it private.
8How long we keep your information
We keep your information only as long as needed to serve you, resolve disputes, and meet legal, accounting and pharmacy record-keeping requirements. When it is no longer needed, we delete it or make it anonymous.
