How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals

Some web browsers have a 'Do Not Track' feature. This feature allows you to tell websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked over time and across websites. These features are not yet uniform across browsers and not broadly supported. This application is not currently set up to respond to those signals.

How We Use the Personal Information Collected

We may use the personal information we collect for purposes such as:

  • Authenticating you for access to the application
  • Fraud detection or monitoring services
  • Reporting or data analytics services

How We Share Personal Information Collected

  • McKesson U.S. Pharmaceutical does not sell personal information about you to third parties.
  • We may provide your personal information to third parties that provide services to help us with our business activities, such as data analytics and reporting. These companies are authorized to use personal information about you only as necessary to provide these services to us.

McKesson may need to share information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of McKesson if we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of that information is reasonably necessary to:

  • Meet applicable laws, regulations, legal processes or enforceable governmental requests
  • Enforce applicable Terms of Application, including investigation of potential violations
  • Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues
  • Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of our users, McKesson, or the public as required or permitted by law

To exercise your choice, you may discontinue information collection by deleting cookies in your web browser or discontinue accessing the application altogether.

This application allows you to directly view, edit, or delete information about you through your profile settings.

We will retain your personal information for as long as your account is active, as reasonably useful for commercial purposes, or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Any sensitive personal information (such as protected health information) will be transmitted in an encrypted form using SSL encryption. Notwithstanding our security safeguards, it is impossible to guarantee 100% security in all circumstances.
