4. SMS Consent and Phone Number Privacy
CoreCompRx does not sell, rent, or share SMS opt-in consent, mobile phone numbers, or SMS/text messaging data with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
SMS consent is not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate our messaging program, such as telecommunications carriers, messaging platforms, and technology vendors, solely as needed to deliver messages, maintain security, keep records, and support our pharmacy operations. These service providers are not permitted to use SMS consent or mobile information for their own marketing.
We may also disclose information when required or permitted by law, including to comply with legal process, pharmacy regulations, HIPAA, fraud prevention, patient safety, audits, or law enforcement requests.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell patient personal information. We may disclose personal information only as needed for lawful business, pharmacy, health care, operational, and compliance purposes, including:
- Health care and pharmacy operations: to prescribers, health care providers, insurance plans, pharmacy benefit managers, delivery providers, laboratories, caregivers, or authorized representatives when appropriate for treatment, payment, or health care operations.
- Service providers: to vendors that support our pharmacy, billing, delivery, technology, website, messaging, security, records, or customer service functions.

6. HIPAA and Protected Health Information
As a pharmacy, CoreCompRx may collect, use, and disclose protected health information (PHI). We handle PHI in accordance with applicable federal and state health privacy laws, including HIPAA when applicable. Uses and disclosures of PHI may include treatment, payment, health care operations, public health reporting, regulatory compliance, patient safety, and other uses or disclosures allowed or required by law.
Patients may have rights under HIPAA and applicable state law, which may include the right to request access to certain health information, request amendments, request restrictions, request confidential communications, receive an accounting of certain disclosures, and receive a copy of a Notice of Privacy Practices. To exercise privacy rights, contact CoreCompRx using the contact information below.
7. Cookies and Website Technologies
Our website may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to operate the website, improve performance, understand visitor activity, and protect security. You may be able to adjust cookie settings through your browser. Some website functions may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information and health information. No website, transmission method, or electronic storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send highly sensitive information by SMS unless requested and appropriate for pharmacy operations, because text messaging may not be fully secure depending on your device, carrier, and settings.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information and pharmacy records for as long as needed to provide services, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable pharmacy, health care, tax, and business recordkeeping requirements.
