About us/Your information

Co-operative Group Healthcare Ltd ("we", "us" and "The Co-operative Group Healthcare") is committed to ensuring our site is absolutely secure for you to use and takes great care to protect your information.

We may introduce you to other subsidiaries within The Co-operative Group including The Co-operative Bank and Co-operative Insurance Society Limited and other co-operative societies (click here for a full list) and carefully selected organisations (collectively referred to as "our Partners").

This privacy policy explains what information we collect about you, how we may use it, and the steps we take to ensure that it is kept secure. We also explain your rights and how to contact us. Please note that this website provides links to other websites belonging to other organisations, which are provided for your convenience. We would recommend that you read the Privacy Statement for every website that you visit.

What information do we hold on you?

We collect details from you when you request a product, service, offers or news from us from our website, emails, telephone conversations, and written and verbal communication. We may supplement the information that you provide with other information that we obtain from our dealings with you or which we receive from other parts of The Co-operative Group or our Partners.

What do we do with the information?

We will use the personal information gathered in our normal course of business primarily to provide the products, services, offers or news you have requested, and also for administration purposes:

to confirm identification when you contact us
to keep you informed of any special offers or promotions that we believe might be of particular interest to you

to review the conduct of and to administer/operate your accounts

to track activity on our website
to improve and monitor our customer service to you
for the prevention of crime and fraud.

We may contact you by post, email, telephone or fax for these purposes.

Disclosure of your information to service providers

In order to provide our products and services, we may need to pass information on to our agents and sub-contractors or appoint other organisations to carry out some of the processing activities on our behalf, such as mailing houses. In the event that our courier UK Mail is unable to locate your address to deliver your order, they will contact you directly to confirm details of your address.

In these circumstances, we will ensure that your information is properly protected and used in accordance with this privacy policy. We may also disclose information to the investigating authorities such as the police, and customs and excise, or if required to do so by law.

Transfer of your information overseas

The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area. By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers, or those of our third party processors, are from time to time located in a country outside of the EEA. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the EEA. If we transfer your information outside of the EEA in this way, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy

This policy only applies to data collected through our online pharmacy. It does not apply to our branch network, as no data collected in branches is transferred outside of the United Kingdom.
