Provision of data to third parties
The employees of the Zuidas pharmacy have the obligation to treat your personal data confidentially. This means, for example, that the healthcare provider needs your explicit consent for the provision of your personal data. There are, however, some exceptions to this rule. On the basis of a statutory regulation, the duty of care can be breached by the healthcare provider, but also when there is a serious danger to your health or that of a third party. In addition, recorded data can be exchanged verbally, in writing or digitally with other healthcare providers if necessary.
The Zuidas pharmacy exchanges relevant medical data safely and reliably with other healthcare providers such as your general practitioner or the GP (Huisartsenpost), after you have given specific permission for this via the National Exchange Point (Landelijk Schakelpunt).
Because we do not supply all services ourselves, but for some services other providers are called in, it is sometimes necessary to share data. For example, if you pick up medication at a service pharmacy.
We do not provide your (personal) data to third parties other than care chain partners for your pharmaceutical care or the processors selected by us without your prior consent, unless we are obliged to do so on the basis of the law.
Security
Your (personal) data are protected by us against theft, loss or other unlawful use. We have taken appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being lost, stolen or viewed by unauthorized persons. These security measures are checked regularly. In addition, we use so-called SSL certificates for the safe transfer of your (personal) data and communication (recognizable by the lock in the address bar).
