5. SHARING OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION BY Ascend Rx
Ascend Rx does not share your account or customer information with any third party that intends to use it for direct marketing purposes, unless you have provided specific consent in relation to this.
Ascend Rx may share your provided customer information with third parties for other purposes, but only in the following circumstances:
5.1. Affiliates
Ascend Rx will only provide your information to its affiliates or related companies for necessary and legitimate business purposes to enable operations.
5.2. Service Providers
Ascend Rx may engage service providers, agents or contractors to provide services on its behalf, including to administer Ascend Rx Sites and services available to you. These third parties may come to access or otherwise process your customer information in the course of providing these services.
Ascend Rx requires such third parties, who may be based outside the country from which you have accessed the Ascend Rx Site or service, to comply with all relevant information protection laws and security requirements in relation to your customer information, usually by way of a valid written agreement.
5.3. Partners and Joint Promotions
Ascend Rx may run a joint or co-sponsored program or promotion with another company and, as part of your involvement in the activity, collect and use your customer information.
Your customer information will only be shared with another company if you have opted in to receive information directly from that company.
Ascend Rx encourages you to read the privacy notice of any such company before sharing customer information. If you do not want your customer information to be collected by or shared with a company other than Ascend Rx, you can always choose not to participate in such activity. If you do opt-in to communications from such a company, remember that you always have the right to opt-out and you would need to contact that company directly to do so.
5.4. Legal Requirements and Business Transfer
Ascend Rx may disclose your customer information if it is required to do so by law or if, in Ascend Rx’s good faith judgment, such legal disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal processes or respond to any claims.
In the event of a full or partial merger with, or acquisition of all or part of Ascend Rx by another company, the acquirer would have access to the information maintained by that Ascend Rx business, which could include customer information.
6. YOUR RIGHTS
You are afforded rights in relation to your customer information under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, including the right to access, correction, and objection to the processing and the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.
You have a right to request access to your customer information. You may send us (info@apotheca.com.ph) a request for access. Depending on the nature of the request, Ascend Rx may or may not charge a reasonable fee for providing access to your customer information.
You also have the right to request that Ascend Rx correct any inaccuracies in your customer information. If you have an account with Ascend Rx through an Ascend Rx Site, this can usually be done through the appropriate "your account" or “your profile” section(s) on the Ascend Rx Site (if available). Otherwise, you can send us an emailed request to correct your information.
