3. Program Service Providers
To facilitate efficient, secure, and HIPAA-compliant delivery of our Rx 'n Go Program to you, we have engaged, and rely on, two third-party service providers, independent of ECB Rx, LLC (our "Program Service Providers"). First, we have engaged an Administrative Provider (the "Administrative Provider"). The Administrative Provider's responsibilities include processing and adjudicating pharmacy claims with respect to our Program. Second, we have engaged a licensed fulfillment pharmacy, GoGoMeds f/k/a Specialty Medical Drugstore (the "Fulfillment Pharmacy"), and the Fulfillment Pharmacy's responsibilities include communicating with you and your physician concerning your prescriptions and filling these prescriptions. We have designed our relationship with our Program Service Providers in part to maintain compliance with HIPAA Privacy Requirements. We have, accordingly, structured the collection and sharing of your Personal Information – and particularly your Medical Information – between ECB Rx, LLC and our Program Service Providers in a manner designed to keep your Personal Information private. This Privacy Policy further describes this Rx ‘n Go Rx Program Service Providers relationship, and the privacy and security practices that apply to our Rx 'n Go Program.
4. Our Collection and Use of Information
We use Personal Information only as specified in this Policy. We collect information at different points in our Program, and use this information as described below:
4.1. Enrollment. In order to access our Program services, we require that you complete a registration and become an Enrollee. Our registration forms ask for Contact Information, which includes such items as your (i) name; (ii) mailing address; (iii) contact phone number; (iv) email address; and (v) other Personal Information. We use the information you provide during the registration process to provide you with a user name and a password, and to allow you to gain access to password protected areas of the Site. We also pass your enrollment information to our Program Service Providers, to establish your Program account and allow the processing of your orders. Under certain enrollment methods, such as enrolling by telephone, we may rely on our Program Service Providers (particularly our Fulfillment Pharmacy Provider) to collect the requisite information directly from you. The Fulfillment Pharmacy Provider will then circulate the information as set out above, to activate your account.
4.2. Fulfilling Your Orders. Our Fulfillment Pharmacy uses your Personal Information to process your orders, and have them fulfilled through our Rx 'n Go Program.
4.3. Prescriptions and Medical Information. In order to fill your prescriptions, our Program Service Providers, and particularly the Fulfillment Pharmacy, will use requisite Medical Information. For example, after you contact your physician for a prescription refill, your physician will communicate with the Fulfillment Pharmacy (either electronically, by phone, by fax, or otherwise) to transmit the prescription to the Fulfillment Pharmacy. Our Program Service Providers will use your Medical Information in order to fill your orders, and (where applicable) provide information to you and your healthcare providers, as provided under our Rx 'n Go Program.
4.4. Account Transactions and Preferences. Our Program collects information about our Enrollees' transactions, including their transactions and other communications with our Program Service Providers. We use this information in evaluating the types of prescription drug benefits, features, availability, and services that our Enrollees may find useful, in making business judgments concerning our relationship with you, and for other business and Program purposes, including for purposes of assessing the information with our Program Service Providers.
4.5. Informational Notices and Bulletins. Periodically, we may choose to send news, bulletins, or other information to Enrollees and other Users, and will use Contact Information to send such communications. If we choose to undertake such communications, you will have the ability to opt out of receiving these communications as provided in Section 8 (Opting Out), provided, however, that you cannot opt out of certain core Program-related communications. Please refer to Section 8 (Opting Out) for more details.
4.6. Surveys. Periodically, we may initiate surveys on our Site, through email or by other means, and we may request Contact Information or other Personal Information from you in connection with such surveys. You are free to choose whether you participate in this type of survey. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and appeal of our Site, improving our Program, or for other business purposes. The information we receive through the survey will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy and, if we want to use any Personal Information in a manner different than set forth in this Policy, we will notify you of relevant details in connection with asking for your participation in the survey.
4.7. Requested Third-Party Information. There may be occasions where we ask you to provide Contact Information (or other Personal Information) concerning a third party. For example, we may ask you for the name and email address of the person who referred you to us, or for the name and address of a contact person, or for information in connection with a "Tell a Friend" program. We will contact these individuals only for the specific purposes we have identified in connection with the request, and you will be free to choose whether or not to provide us with the information. Moreover, rest assured that we will protect any third party's Personal Information that you provide in the same way we protect your Personal Information. Before you submit Personal Information about third parties to us, please be sure you have permission from the third party to share this information with us.
4.8. Promotions. We believe that our Users’ own experiences with us can often act as the strongest promotion for our Program. To promote and illustrate our products and services, we may wish to post on our Website, or elsewhere, endorsements from our Users and other descriptions of our Users' experiences. If we believe that others would benefit from your experiences in our Program, we will contact you, and ask for your consent before we share this information with other Users.
4.9. Verifying Identity. When you request a product, service or information, we may collect (and our Program Service Providers may similarly collect) additional Personal Information to verify your identity and process your request, beyond the data we originally received about you. This is designed to further protect you and to reduce the threat of identity theft and fraudulent orders.
5. Anonymous Information
We use Anonymous Information to analyze the effectiveness of our Site, to improve our products and services, and for other similar purposes. In addition, from time to time, we may undertake or commission statistical and other summary analyses of the general behavior and characteristics of Enrollees participating in our Program, the characteristics of Users at our Site, and other similar analyses. We may share Anonymous Information with third parties, including advertisers (if any). Rest assured, though, that Anonymous Information provided to third parties will not allow anyone to identify you or any other Data Subject, or to determine anything personal about you or another Data Subject. We may collect Anonymous Information through features of the software that supports our services, through cookies, and through other means described below.
5.1. IP Addresses; Logs. Either directly, or through our hosting service provider, we may automatically receive and record information in our server logs from your browser, including your IP address (the Internet address of your PC), your computer’s name, the type and version of your web browser, referrer addresses, where the computer is routing from, and other generally-accepted log information. We may also record page views (hit counts) and other general statistical and tracking information, which will be aggregated with that of other users in order to understand how our Website is being used, and for security and monitoring purposes.
5.2. Cookies. A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, which is sent to your browser from a website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive.

Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format you can read, and they inform us whether emails have been opened, to help ensure that our messages are of interest to our Users and others. None of this data includes Personal Information, and you can “opt-out” of receiving these types of emails from us by following the directions provided in Section 8 (Opting Out). If any Personal Information is collected using such tools, it will be subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
5.4. Click-Throughs. We may send email messages which use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our Website. When you click one of these URLs, you pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications. If you prefer not to be tracked simply do not click text or graphic links in the email, or notify us in accordance with Section 8 (Opting Out).
5.5. Banner Ads; Advertising Profiles. Our Site may include the use of ad banner partners for the serving and/or targeting of ads, promotions, and other marketing messages. These ads may be provided, in some cases, by a third party ad service provider or advertiser (“Advertisers”). These Advertisers may use traditional banner ads, or other advertising methods, such as advertising using profiles and related content. An Advertiser may place or utilize its own cookie on your browser, and may use Anonymous Information about your visit to our Site, such as the number of times you have viewed the ad. If the Advertiser requests that you provide to it Personal Information, please be aware that this Advertiser’s use and collection of this information will be governed by its own privacy policy, and not our Policy. We recommend that you review the Advertiser’s privacy policy before providing Personal Information.
6. Any Information Linked with Personal Information Is Protected as “Personal Information”

7.5. Legal. We will reveal Personal Information about a Data Subject to the extent we reasonably believe we are required to do so by law.

We provide you with online access rights to your Personal Information and provide you with the right, upon request, to remove your Information from our databases.

Before posting a Community Comment, please consider whether the Comment contains information the Data Subject would prefer to keep private, and refrain from disclosing such information.
11. Security
We have put in place security systems, physical safeguards, technical safeguards, and quality controls designed to prevent unauthorized access to, or disclosure of Personal Information. Our security systems are structured to deter and prevent unauthorized users and others from accessing Information we receive about Data Subjects.

Moreover, please keep in mind that you also play a key role in protecting the security of information about you. For example, you should guard your password to our Website, and decline to allow others to use this password. In addition, you should close your browser when have finished viewing your information on our Website, to prevent others from viewing your Personal Information.
