5. SHARING OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION BY APOTHECA CORP.
Apotheca Corp. does not share your account or customer information with any third party that intends to use it for direct marketing purposes, unless you have provided specific consent in relation to this.
Apotheca Corp. may share your provided customer information with third parties for other purposes, but only in the following circumstances:

Apotheca Corp. may engage service providers, agents or contractors to provide services on its behalf, including to administer Apotheca Corp. Sites and services available to you. These third parties may come to access or otherwise process your customer information in the course of providing these services.
Apotheca Corp. requires such third parties, who may be based outside the country from which you have accessed the Apotheca Corp. Site or service, to comply with all relevant information protection laws and security requirements in relation to your customer information, usually by way of a valid written agreement.
5.3. Partners and Joint Promotions
Apotheca Corp. may run a joint or co-sponsored program or promotion with another company and, as part of your involvement in the activity, collect and use your customer information.
Your customer information will only be shared with another company if you have opted in to receive information directly from that company.
Apotheca Corp. encourages you to read the privacy notice of any such company before sharing customer information. If you do not want your customer information to be collected by or shared with a company other than Apotheca Corp., you can always choose not to participate in such activity. If you do opt-in to communications from such a company, remember that you always have the right to opt-out and you would need to contact that company directly to do so.

Apotheca Corp. may disclose your customer information if it is required to do so by law or if, in Apotheca Corp.’s good faith judgment, such legal disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal processes or respond to any claims.
In the event of a full or partial merger with, or acquisition of all or part of Apotheca Corp. by another company, the acquirer would have access to the information maintained by that Apotheca Corp. business, which could include customer information.

You are afforded rights in relation to your customer information under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, including the right to access, correction, and objection to the processing and the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.
You have a right to request access to your customer information. You may send us (info@apotheca.com.ph) a request for access. Depending on the nature of the request, Apotheca Corp. may or may not charge a reasonable fee for providing access to your customer information.
