Introduction

CrowdPharm and its related entities and brands (“CrowdPharm”, “we”, “us”, “our”) takes your privacy seriously. There are international standards relating to personal data processing and use, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to which CrowdPharm adheres. This Privacy Policy explains in general terms how we protect the privacy of your personal data and applies to any personal data that we collect from, or about, you.

The Information We Collect and Hold

Personal data is any information that could directly or indirectly identify you. Under the GDPR, “personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

1. create an account with CrowdPharm; or
2. edit or add to personal data attached to your account details after your account has been created; or
3. indirectly create an account with CrowdPharm via one of our partners; or
4. request or purchase goods or services from us; or
5. contact us by any method, such as telephone, email, post, facsimile or in person; or
6. correspond via our site, either with one of our staff or with another site user

Technologies such as “cookies” are used to allow the website to function, to collect useful information about visitors and to help make your user experience better. Cookies enable us to monitor traffic patterns and to serve you more efficiently if you revisit the site. A cookie does not identify you personally, but it does identify your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, and this will provide you with an opportunity to either accept or reject each instance. We may allow some of our marketing or technology partners to utilize cookies on our website to collect non-personally identifying data to assist them, or CrowdPharm, in delivering services to you. We also collect information about your usage of the site when you are logged in.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal data we hold from misuse, interference or loss, and from unauthorized access, modification and disclosure. The steps we take to protect personal data include:

2. outsourcing transaction processing to reputable, secure, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant payment gateway providers (such as PayPal or Stripe). CrowdPharm does not store or handle complete credit card data.
3. utilizing a fully secured technology stack on Amazon Web Services technologies. CrowdPharm’s databases are only accessible to certain IP addresses, locations and servers.
