Notice of Information Collected

Personally Identifiable Information
You are not required to provide personally identifiable information to visit this Website. However, you must provide personally identifiable information in order to receive information or services from us via this Website.
Personally identifiable information is collected from you directly and with your knowledge during the submission of a request for information or services. We may collect personally identifiable information that you provide to us, such as your name, address, e-mail address, gender, birth date and phone number. If we collect information from or about you, we will tell you what information is being collected. The amount and type of information that we receive depends on how you use this Website and the information you choose to submit to us.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may also collect non-personally identifiable information, which is automatically collected by Island Prescription Center or our third party vendor as you browse or otherwise access this Website. We may collect such information by tracking, or asking our third party vendor to track, your click-stream activity when such information is not tied to a user ID or through the use of “cookie” technology or by tracking internet protocol (IP) addresses, as explained below.
IP Addresses
We may log and track IP addresses for systems administration purposes and for reporting usage trends. Your IP address is usually associated with the physical place from which you enter the Internet. By collecting you IP address, we may record the page that linked you to this Website, the pages you visit on this Website, the ads you see or click on, and other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform and settings you are using, and any search terms you enter on this Website. IP addresses are not used to track an individual user’s session or location. This information only helps us determine how often different areas of our Website are visited.
Although we do not collect personal information automatically as noted above, we may combine non-personal information collected automatically (such as through IP addresses or click-stream monitoring) with any previously submitted personal information that we may have received from you.
Geographic Location
We may collect your geographic location based on your IP address and other location-based data. However, we do not collect any device identifications.
Analytics
We may also use various third party internet vendors to collect, track and analyze data regarding Website usage and trends.

If you are receiving additional communications and special offers, you may opt out of receiving such additional information at any time by using the opt-out or unsubscribe link at the bottom of any emails distributed. We will implement your opt-out request as soon as is commercially reasonable and will strive to notify your pharmacy of your preference.

We may share your personally identifiable information only with our suppliers and vendors or with other third parties to enable them to provide services for us.

Non-Personal Information
The non-personal information we collect may be shared with our vendors and used in the aggregate to create summary statistics that help us analyze website usage trends, assess what information is of most and least importance, determine technical design specifications, arrange the Website in the most user-friendly way, and identify system performance or problem areas.
Other Use and Ownership

We will help protect personally identifiable information stored on the Website’s servers from unauthorized access using commercially available computer security products (such as firewalls and encryption), as well as carefully developed security procedures and practices.
Although our security measures help protect against the unauthorized access or use of the information under our control, we cannot guarantee that such unauthorized access or use will not occur. In the event that there is a breach of our systems where there is a possibility that an unauthorized person acquires your personal information, we will notify you of such a breach to the extent required under applicable law.
