Privacy notice

Privacy & HIPAA Notice

This page combines a Notice of Privacy Practices for pharmacy records with a separate explanation of privacy on this public website.

Effective January 1, 2026.

Notice of Privacy Practices

Please review carefully. This section describes how medical information about a patient may be used and disclosed, and how a patient may obtain access to that information.

A pharmacy subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act must protect the privacy of protected health information, provide a notice of its legal duties and privacy practices, notify affected individuals following certain breaches, and follow the notice currently in effect. California privacy law may provide additional protections.

How health information may be used

Treatment

Health information may be used or disclosed to dispense and counsel on medication, review safety, coordinate with a prescriber or another health-care professional, and support continuity of care.

Payment

Health information may be used or disclosed to submit and administer claims, confirm eligibility or coverage, coordinate benefits, collect amounts due, or respond to a payer audit.

Health-care operations

Health information may be used for quality review, staff training, licensing, compliance, credentialing, patient-safety work, recordkeeping, and other lawful pharmacy operations.

Information may also be used or disclosed when permitted or required by law, including for certain public-health, health oversight, judicial, administrative, law-enforcement, workers' compensation, organ-donation, research, and safety purposes. The pharmacy will apply any authorization, minimum-necessary, attestation, or other condition required for a particular use or disclosure.

Uses requiring permission and additional safeguards

Written authorization

Uses and disclosures not otherwise permitted or required by law generally require written authorization. A patient may revoke an authorization in writing, except to the extent action has already been taken in reliance on it.

Sensitive information

Special rules may apply to psychotherapy notes, substance-use disorder records, reproductive-health information, genetic information, and other records protected by federal or California law.

Marketing, sale, and fundraising

The pharmacy does not sell protected health information. Most marketing uses of protected health information, and any fundraising use, require written authorization, and a patient may opt out of fundraising communications.

Patient privacy rights

Records and corrections

A patient may have rights to inspect or obtain copies of certain records and to request correction of information believed to be incorrect or incomplete, subject to lawful limits.

Disclosures and restrictions

A patient may request an accounting of certain disclosures and may request restrictions on uses or disclosures. Some requests need not be accepted; certain fully self-paid services may be subject to a required health-plan restriction.

Confidential communications

A patient may request reasonable communication by a particular method or at a particular location and may request a paper copy of the final notice.

Complaints without retaliation

A patient may complain to the pharmacy or to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. The pharmacy may not retaliate for filing a privacy complaint.

Website privacy

No patient-data form

This public website has no prescription intake, patient portal, account registration, contact form, checkout, or payment field. Do not submit health or payment information through the website.

Technical information

A hosting provider may process routine technical information such as an IP address, browser type, request time, and requested page to deliver and secure the site. This website sets no advertising cookie and runs no third-party analytics or tracking script.

External links

A linked third-party website has its own privacy practices. Review those practices before providing information outside this domain.

Do not email health information. Call the pharmacy for questions involving prescriptions, health information, payment, or another patient-specific matter.
