How information is collected and used
First and foremost, HumanisRx will only collect and use your personal information if we have your consent. We collect consent prior to the collection of data, and we only use your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected.
We collect information directly from patients or benefit plan members that consent to use of our services.

For example, we may collect information about a patient indirectly:
- From physicians, other prescribers, community pharmacists or healthcare providers when clarifying medication needs;
- From benefits providers or a disability management company that is providing services to patients or plan members, in order to assist in managing their medication therapy program;
- From patient’s or benefit plan member’s authorized representative or substitute decision-maker;
- From patient’s or benefit plan member’s electronic health records;
- From Provincial Health Record(s), if applicable;
- From drug claims provided via the patient or benefit plan member’s third- party administrator; and
- From Microsoft Bookings or other appointment scheduling app, if applicable
How information is shared and disclosed
When we provide a patient or benefit plan member with healthcare services, we may share their personal health information with their healthcare providers when it is necessary for their healthcare. We do not share personal health information without a patient’s or plan member’s consent, unless we are legally required to do so. For example, personal information may be disclosed to respond to a court order or under a specific statute (e.g. the Coroner’s Act or Adult Guardianship Act).
We use service providers and subcontractors who assist us in our business. These service providers and subcontractors have only the access they need when they perform duties on our behalf. Our service providers or subcontractors not permitted to use personal information except as authorized by us.
We may share personal information in connection with the review of and the completion of business transactions involving all or part of our business. Examples of business transactions include mergers, sales, financing, reorganizations or other transactions involving our assets. We require that any parties involved in these transactions who receive personal information only use that information in connection with the transaction and for the purposes for which personal information was collected.
