Introduction to GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy in the European Union and the European Economic Area. It also addresses the transfer of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU. SuperDrug Online Doctor recognizes the importance of GDPR and is committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal information that we process, and to provide a compliant and consistent approach to data protection. We have created this GDPR compliance framework to explain our commitment to the protection of your data.
Principles of GDPR
SuperDrug Online Doctor is dedicated to complying with the principles of GDPR which include lawfulness, fairness, and transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality. Every aspect of our online medical advice, resources about diseases, and medication and health supplement guides are designed to uphold these principles. We understand that the privacy and protection of user data is of utmost importance and as such, we take all necessary measures to ensure that our practices align with these principles, fostering trust between SuperDrug Online Doctor, our users, and partners.
Data Subject Rights
Individuals have the right to access their personal data, correct inaccuracies in their data, request the deletion of their data, and object to the processing of their data. These rights are fundamental to our approach to GDPR compliance. As a responsible entity, SuperDrug Online Doctor facilitates individuals' rights in line with the GDPR. We provide clear methods for users to access, update, or delete their personal data, if necessary. We maintain a transparent approach that enables users to understand how their data is handled and processed through our online services.

We understand that the security of your personal data directly affects the trust in our services, and we take all threats to this security very seriously.
