Processing of Personal Data, Purpose of Processing Personal Data, and Duration of ProcessingThe Controller processes the personal data of customers, as data subjects, in accordance with this information, GDPR, and generally binding applicable legal regulations for the purposes of operating the pharmacy.
Part A) Dispensing with a Medical PrescriptionFor the purpose of dispensing a medicinal product, medical device, or food for special medical purposes (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Product") based on a medical prescription, the Controller processes the personal data of the customer, as the data subject, to whom the Product was prescribed, including their insurance number or date of birth (if not insured), the customer's insurer code, diagnosis if stated on the prescription, identification of the prescribing healthcare provider, type and quantity of prescribed and dispensed Product, and date of dispensing the Product.
If the Product is individually prepared for the customer by the pharmacy, in addition to the above personal data, the customer's name and surname are also processed.
In cases where applicable legal regulations stipulate that the Product can only be dispensed on a prescription marked with a blue stripe, the Controller processes, in addition to the above personal data, the customer's name, surname, and residence. This personal data is kept in a paper record book at the pharmacy where the Product was dispensed to the customer.
Electronic prescriptions are stored in the Central Repository of Electronic Prescriptions, which is established and operated by the State Institute for Drug Control (hereinafter referred to as "SÚKL"). The record of dispensing based on an electronic prescription is sent to this repository. Original medical prescriptions in paper form are either forwarded to the relevant customer's health insurance company if the Product is fully or partially covered by public health insurance funds, or retained by the Controller at the pharmacy where the Product was dispensed. If the customer was dispensed a Product on a prescription marked with a blue stripe, one copy of this prescription is always kept at the dispensing pharmacy. Medical prescriptions stored in the pharmacy may also contain other personal data of the customer (e.g., the customer’s measurements, if provided); however, the Controller will only store these data together with the medical prescription and will not further process these personal data.
If the Product dispensed to the customer is fully or partially covered by public health insurance funds, the Controller forwards the above personal data to the relevant customer's health insurance company as another recipient.
The Controller may also disclose the personal data of the customer to the prescribing healthcare provider, particularly when necessary to ensure continuity of provided health services or to dispel doubts about the validity of the medical prescription or when it is necessary to consult with the healthcare provider regarding the dispensing of the Product.
The personal data mentioned above in this Part A) is processed by the Controller for a period of 5 years from the dispensing of the Product. The record book containing the records of the dispensing of Products containing addictive substances is kept for 5 years from the last entry in this record book.

If SÚKL has stipulated in the decision on the registration of the Product, the Controller will verify the possibility of dispensing such a Product in the register for Products with restrictions before dispensing it, where the customer's insurance number or name, surname, and date of birth will be stated if they are not insured by public health insurance. If the conditions for dispensing the Product without a medical prescription with restrictions are met, the Controller will make the appropriate entry in the register regarding the dispensing of the Product.
The personal data mentioned above in this Part B) is processed by the Controller for a period of 5 years from the dispensing of the Product without a medical prescription with restrictions.
Part C) Complaints Procedure and Withdrawal from the Contractual RelationshipFor the purpose of resolving the customer's complaint, the Controller processes the customer's personal data, including their name, surname, residential address, contact information (email and/or phone number), data regarding the complained Product and/or product, including the purchase price of the Product and/or product, date of dispensing the Product and/or product, reasons for the complaint, and the customer's request regarding the resolution of the complaint. At the same time, the Controller processes the date when the complaint was resolved and the manner of its resolution.
If the customer withdraws from the contractual relationship established with the Controller, the Controller processes the customer's personal data for these purposes, including their name, surname, data regarding the Product and/or product to which the withdrawal applies, including the purchase price of the Product and/or product, date of dispensing the Product and/or product, and the method of refunding to the customer. If the withdrawal is not resolved directly at the pharmacy, the Controller also processes the customer's residential address, account number, and contact information (email and/or phone number).
The personal data mentioned above in this Part C) is processed by the Controller for a period of 5 years from the resolution of the complaints procedure or withdrawal from the contractual relationship, unless it is processed longer for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Controller.
Part D) ComplaintsFor the purpose of keeping a record of complaints against the activities of the Controller as a provider of health services, the Controller processes the personal data provided by the customer in the relevant complaint. This primarily includes their name, surname, residence, phone number, or email and any additional information provided in the complaint. Furthermore, the Controller processes the manner of resolving the complaint.
The personal data mentioned above in this Part D) is processed by the Controller for a period of 5 years from the resolution of the complaint.
