WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION AND WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS POLICY
Canadian privacy laws generally define "personal information" as any information about an identifiable individual, which includes information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate an individual.
This Privacy Policy applies to both personal information and, where applicable, personal health information (“PHI”). Personal health information is a subset of personal information. It includes identifying information about an individual’s health status, health services provided, prescriptions, or payment information related to healthcare.
Because Medmosa may facilitate your access to certain health-related products and services, certain provisions of provincial health privacy laws (such as Ontario’s PHIPA, Alberta’s HIA, British Columbia’s PIPA, and Quebec’s Law 25) may apply in addition to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”). Where such provincial laws apply, we will comply with the higher standard of protection required.
This policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit or use the Website, the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the Website, and Medmosa’s practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
We will only use your personal information in accordance with this policy or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law. We take steps to ensure that the personal information we collect about you is adequate, relevant, not excessive, and used for limited purposes.

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Any payment transactions performed by MedMosa will be encrypted using SSL technology.
In addition to the safeguards already described, when handling PHI we apply enhanced protections, including: role-based access controls, user authentication, and audit logging of access to PHI. We also maintain written policies for responding to privacy breaches involving PHI, including mandatory reporting to regulators and affected individuals as required by PIPEDA and applicable provincial laws (e.g., PHIPA, HIA, Law 25).
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website, which any Website visitor can view.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
In the unlikely event that our system is breached, and any personal information has been compromised, we will notify such local authorities and regulators as may be required within seventy-two (72) hours of the breach and will also use our best efforts to notify you, using the most current contact information that we have on file. We are not responsible for any failure to notify you based on incorrect or outdated contact information.
Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Under some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any purpose without further notice to you or your consent and may sell or otherwise transfer such data to third parties.
For general personal information, we retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes identified, unless longer retention is required by law. For PHI, provincial laws may impose specific retention periods (e.g., in Ontario, at least 10 years after the last entry for adults, or 10 years after a minor turns 18). Where Medmosa is required to retain PHI, we will follow these statutory minimums. When records are no longer required, they will be securely destroyed or anonymized in accordance with recognized industry practices.
No one under age 18 may provide any personal information through or on the Website without parental or guardian consent. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 without such consent. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 14, please contact our Privacy Officer.
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes. By law, you have the right to request access to and to correct the personal information that we hold about you.
We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and your right to access, and to provide you with the personal information that we hold about you or make your requested changes. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, erased, or made your personal information anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
Under PIPEDA, you have the right to access and request correction of your personal information, including PHI, that we hold. We will respond to such requests within 30 days, unless an extension is permitted by law, and will provide reasons if we refuse access (for example, if disclosure would reveal another person’s information or is subject to legal privilege). Under provincial health laws, you may have additional rights of access or correction, and we will respect those rights where applicable.
We will provide access to your personal information, subject to exceptions set out in applicable privacy legislation.
If you are concerned about our response or would like to correct the information provided, you may contact our Privacy Officer.
It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. We include the date the privacy policy was last revised at the top of the page. You are responsible for periodically visiting the Website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
