You may see certain ads on our website as well as on other third-party websites across the Internet because we participate in advertising networks administered by third parties. These networks track your online activities over time and across third party websites by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of the tracking technologies described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, and they use this information to show you advertisements (including our ads) that are tailored to your individual interests.

6. Legal Basis For Processing

We may process your personal information on the following legal bases:

Contract. The processing is necessary for our performance of the contract you have agreed to enter with us. If you do not provide your personal information to us, we will not be able to carry out our obligations under the terms of your contract.

Legal obligation. The processing of your personal information is necessary for the purposes of complying with applicable regulatory, accounting and financial rules and obligations, and to make mandatory disclosures to government bodies and law enforcements.

Legitimate Interests. We are permitted to process your personal information if it is based on our ‘legitimate interests’, where we have good, sensible, practical reasons for processing your personal information, which is in the interests of Ddrops Company. To do so, we have considered the impact on your interests and rights, and have placed appropriate safeguards to ensure that the intrusion on your privacy is reduced as much as possible. In jurisdictions where ‘legitimate interests’ are not a basis on which personal information may be processed, by providing us with personal information for an identified purpose, you consent to our processing it for these purposes. Where personal information are processed based on legitimate interests, e.g., for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object to such processing at any time and free of charge. See the section headed “Your Legal Rights” to find out how. If you object to us processing your personal information, we must demonstrate compelling grounds for continuing to do so.

Consent. Sometimes we want to use your personal information in a way that is entirely optional for you, such as to send you our promotions and news. On these occasions, we will ask for your consent to use your information. You can withdraw this consent at any time.

7. Sharing Information And International Transfers

Ddrops Company will not share personal information with any third parties for the third parties’ use for their direct marketing purposes without your consent. Ddrops Company may use third parties for the purpose of fulfilling your request to receive industry-specific promotions, announcement and other marketing information from Ddrops Company using your personal information that you have provided and to which you have consented.

Ddrops Company may provide personal information to Ddrops Company service providers, vendors subcontractors and professional advisers (who are located in North America, UK or the EU and bound by privacy obligations) to assist us in carrying out the uses of information described in this Privacy Policy.

We may also share your personal information with third parties if we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to:

  • conduct investigations of possible breaches of law,
  • identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating an agreement they have with us,
  • to protect our rights, safety or property, or
  • to carry out any other purpose permitted or required by law.

We may also share your personal information when we investigate security breaches or cooperate with government authorities pursuant to a legal matter. We reserve the right to transfer any personal information we have about you in the event that we or the relevant portion of our business, merges with or is acquired by a third party or should any such transaction be proposed.

We may disclose your personal information to another entity purchasing (including, but not limited to, for diligence purposes prior to purchase) the assets of (or otherwise acquiring) Ddrops Company to the extent such disclosure is necessary for the acquisition.

If you inform us of an adverse reaction to one of our products, such as an allergic reaction or other health issue, we may be required to report the matter to health regulatory authorities. We may also contact you to ask you for more information about your experience.

Personal information we collect is maintained with the source of the information at Woodbridge, Ontario and on servers in Montreal, Quebec. The European Commission and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office has recognized Canada (commercial organizations) as providing an adequate level of data protection for the purposes of the Europe Data Protection Laws. We may also hold your personal information on select third-party cloud-based servers in the United States. This means that some or all of the personal information we collect may be stored or processed on servers located outside your jurisdiction of residence and outside the UK and the European Economic Area, including, in the United States and Canada, whose data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. Personal information processed or stored in another jurisdiction may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in accordance with the laws of that jurisdiction.

For individuals in the US and Canada, by providing us with personal information, you understand and expressly agree that we may transfer it outside of your jurisdiction. If you do not agree to the transfer of your personal information outside of your jurisdiction, do not provide us with personal information.

In case of the transfer of the information of UK and EU residents to the United States of America, we ensure that the relevant company has entered into a data transfer agreement containing clauses offering an adequate level protection for the purposes of the European Data Protection Laws, has adopted corporate binding rules, or has otherwise implemented appropriate safeguards. In case of Canada, there is an adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC which allows transfers under the European Data Protection Laws. In case of other countries outside the UK and the European Economic Area apart from Canada and the United States and where no adequacy decision for the purposes of the European Data Protection Laws exists, we ensure that the relevant company has entered into a data transfer agreement containing clauses offering an adequate level protection as required under the European Data Protection Laws or has otherwise implemented appropriate safeguards.

Subject to applicable laws in such other jurisdictions, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate protections are in place to require the processor in that country to maintain protections on the personal information that are consistent to those that apply in Canada and compliant with the requirements under the European Data Protection Laws.

8. Security

Your personal information may be stored in a combination of paper and electronic files. Our security is intended to help protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, and any other unlawful forms of processing. We use technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information to help protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, and any other unlawful forms of processing. Personal information may be accessed by persons within our organization or our third party service providers or third parties (such as law enforcement), who require such access to carry out the purposes indicated above, or otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

Although we have taken measures to protect this website, our computer systems, and any personal information that we have collected from unauthorized use, access, disclosure, misuse, alteration or destruction, no security measures can provide absolute protection. As a result, while we are committed to protecting your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.

9. Retention Period

We retain personal information that we collect as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to meet any legal requirements. We have retention standards which meet these requirements.

When you, a health care professional, open an account, we will retain your product information and product ordering history for as long as the account is active. When your account is closed we will retain your information in order to continue to communicate with you about our products that may be of interest to you, unless you have opted out of receiving marketing and or newsletter communication or until the period we are allowed to contact you has ended. We may also retain your account information and product history to communicate with you on important business information that may affect you, such as in the unlikely event of a product related issue. This information is retained for a period of up to seven (7) years from the date of your last order shipment.

Health care practitioner tradeshow attendee information is kept for two (2) years and is used as a reference and to evaluate participation at similar tradeshows in the future.

Reseller account applications that have been declined or where the applicant has not been processed, are retained for a period of two years to understand and monitor potentially fraudulent activity – i.e. false account openings in alias’, alternate business names, addresses etc. In these cases, the personal information will be destroyed within 2 years after it has been collected. Other personal information that has been collected, such as account representative information, will be destroyed when the purpose for which it was collected ceases to exist, subject to retention as required by law, including applicable limitation periods.

10. Your Legal Rights

You have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal information. To help protect against fraudulent requests, and in compliance with the local data protection legislation, we may ask you for information to allow us to confirm that the person making the request is you or is authorized to access your information before granting your request. For example, we may require you to verify your identity before you access your personal information.

You have the right to:

Access your Personal Information. You have a right (subject to limited exceptions under relevant data protection laws) to request access to your personal information. Individuals may send requests to review their personal information contained in Ddrops Company files to the Ddrops Company privacy officer using the contact information provided in the below section, “Company Contact Information/-Privacy Officer”.

Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no sufficient reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your interests, rights and freedoms, as permitted under the local data protection laws. You have an absolute right to object to direct marketing including any profiling of data that is related to direct marketing.

Request restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it, as allowed under the local data protection laws.

Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information, in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. For individuals who reside in the U.S. and Canadian law, if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
