You have the right to ask us not to collect, use or disclose your personal information for marketing purposes.  You may exercise this right by contacting the Privacy Officer at the email address set out below or by unsubscribing to our marketing emails (using the link included within those emails).

Health Information

This privacy policy does not limit or exclude any of your rights under the Code.  If you wish to seek further information on the Code, see https://privacy.org.nz/.

What is your health information

When used in this privacy policy, the term “health information” has the meaning given to it in the Code. In general terms, it is any health information about an identifiable individual.  This includes information such as your medical history, any disabilities, any health or disability services provided to you, information you have provided in connection with the donation of any body part or bodily substance or derived from testing or examination of any body part or bodily substance or information about you collected in the course of the provision of any health or disability service to you.

What health information do we collect

We will be provided with details of your prescription (including NHI number, medicine name, dose, frequency and duration) by you, your prescriber or a pharmacy in order to provide the ZOOM Pharmacy App.

The provision of such information is necessary for use of the ZOOM Pharmacy App.  Accordingly, if you choose not to provide the required information you will not be able to use the ZOOM Pharmacy App.

The ZOOM Pharmacy App also records your in-app responses to daily reminders and other information input into the ZOOM Pharmacy App and this information is available to us on an anonymous basis (i.e. it is linked to the patient unique identifier number).

Who do we collect your health information from

We do not gather health information about you without your knowledge.

As noted above, we collect details of your prescription (including NHI number, medicine name, dose, frequency and duration) from you, your prescriber or a pharmacy.

How we use your health information

We will use your health information to enable fulfilment of your prescription by ZOOM Pharmacy and provision of adherence and delivery services to you through the ZOOM Pharmacy App.

A ZOOM Pharmacy pharmacist may also use your health information (and personal information) in order to contact the prescriber and/or you if there is a potential problem with the prescription or adherence.

Disclosing your health information

We will not sell, lease, or give your health information to any third party without your consent or as otherwise permitted or required pursuant to the Code.

ZOOM may share anonymous demographic data but all identifying details will be removed.

Protecting your health information

Security and data/patient anonymity are core features of the ZOOM Pharmacy App.

The ZOOM Pharmacy App database holds prescriber, pharmacy and patient information in a secure and anonymous manner using unique identification numbers. The use of unique identification numbers means that individual patient health information held by the ZOOM Pharmacy App can only be used to identify a specific patient by that patient’s prescriber. 

Accessing and correcting your health information

You may access any health information we hold and correct any mistakes at any time by contacting ZOOM’s Privacy Officer at the email address set out below.  Your email should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request (e.g. the health information, or the correction, that you are requesting). You can also update your health information at any time through your prescriber or pharmacy.

General

Internet use

While we take reasonable steps to maintain secure internet connections, if you provide us with personal information or health information over the internet, the provision of that information is at your own risk.

If you follow a link on our website or the ZOOM Pharmacy App to another site, the owner of that site will have its own privacy policy relating to your personal information (and/or health information if applicable). We suggest you review that site’s privacy policy before you provide personal information and/or health information.

Changes to this policy

We may need to update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our legal obligations, practices and services.  The most current version of this policy is available on our website and we may change this privacy policy by uploading a revised policy onto our website.  Any changes will apply from the date that we upload the revised policy to our website – accordingly we recommend that you check the current policy on our website from time to time to take note of any changes we make, as they are binding on you.
