In line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), effective from 25th May 2018, we are committed to providing transparency in how we manage your data. To make it easier for you to understand, we have provided answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) covering topics such as the use of your data and how we protect it.
"Personal data" refers to any information that can be used to identify a person, such as a name, home address, personal telephone number, or a named email address (e.g., firstname.surname@email.com). At My Doctor Shop, we prioritize the protection of your personal data and utilize it to:
We safeguard your personal information at all times by implementing appropriate security measures and technical controls. Our employees who handle your data are required to comply with strict standards of European data protection law. We ensure that all our staff members are trained to respect and protect your data.
For marketing purposes, we retain your personal data for a duration of 3 years, considering that you may not make a purchase on every occasion. However, we often observe repeat purchases from customers within this time period. Regarding account-related data and transactions, we are legally obligated to retain data such as your name, address, and transaction details for a period of 7 years.
We only hold the personal data that is necessary. In most cases, the personal data we hold consists of your name and email address. If you are not a "Business Customer," we may also hold your home address and personal telephone number, which you provided at the time of ordering.
We do not sell or distribute your personal information to any third parties unless we have obtained your permission or are required to do so by law. In cases where you request us to transfer your personal information to a third party (e.g., another service provider), we will provide the relevant personal information held by us for you to share with that third party.
If you no longer wish to receive marketing material from us via email, post, fax, or telephone, simply contact us using the details provided below, and we will remove you from our list. However, please note that we are legally obliged to retain your information in certain circumstances.
