We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you use the Services. These companies may use internet or electronic information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. GoodRx adheres to Digital Advertising Alliance principles. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

Information You Provide to Third Parties

We receive information about you from third parties, including as detailed below: 

1. Healthcare professionals. Some healthcare professionals who use GoodRx may text or email you a coupon. In order to receive the coupon from your healthcare professional, you must provide your contact information and your prescription information. By providing your healthcare professional with your contact information and your prescription information, you are requesting to be contacted with prescription-related information, and you acknowledge that there may be some risk that the message could be read by a third party. We also receive information from our Medical Groups and other healthcare partners.

Such third parties may collect and provide to us personal information such as your name, contact information, medical information (such as condition and prescription) and demographic information (such as age and location). 
3. Data partners. We may in some cases supplement the information we collect about you with information from third parties, including data regarding online activities across devices and online platforms. 
4. Pharmacy benefit managers. Most prescriptions purchased in the United States, including prescriptions filled through the use of discount coupons, loyalty cards or insurance co-pays, result in the pharmacy reporting patient data back to the company that provides the benefit. When you use a coupon provided by GoodRx, we receive information about the transaction from the corresponding pharmacy benefit manager.

By using the Services, you agree to let us use and share such personal information in order to provide services to you, to run our business (including for the purposes of internal business operations, analytics, and to provide, change, market or optimize our services and products), and to communicate and market to you (directly or via third parties). 

When do we share information that can identify you with a third party?

GoodRx does not sell personal medical information. We do not provide your personally-identifiable medical information to third parties in exchange for payment. 

Like many companies, GoodRx uses personal information in order to provide services to you, to run our business (including for the purposes of internal business operations and analytics, to provide, change, market or optimize our services and products), and to communicate and market to you. In some instances, we may use third parties to help assist us in the above. 

Here are some examples where we may share information with third parties:

• To market and advertise to you
• To send you a discount card, coupons, manufacturer copay cards (in cases where you provide us with your information to determine your eligibility for such copay card and you meet the eligibility criteria for such copay card) and/or communications (such as information about your account and marketing)
• To process your credit card information (in cases where you provide us with your credit card information) and track payments

We may disclose information you provide, about your use of our websites or apps, or that we obtain about you from third parties if we are required to do so by law or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect someone's safety. GoodRx may transfer its user database, including personal information contained therein, to a third party who acquires all or substantially all of the assets or stock of GoodRx whether by merger, acquisition, reorganization or otherwise.

Additional Privacy Disclosures Relating to GoodRx Care

GoodRx Care offers a platform that enables health care professionals (“Providers”) and patients to connect virtually for medical visits.

Your Provider is responsible for providing you with a Notice of Privacy Practices, which  describes how the entities in the Medical Group (as defined below) may use and disclose your Protected Health Information. If you do not agree to be bound by those terms, which are available here, you are not authorized to access or use GoodRx Care services.

Note that we currently contract with the following medical groups (the “Medical Group”) to facilitate medical visits through the GoodRx Care platform: HeyDoctor Medical Group, P.C., HeyDoctor Medical Group (FL), P.A., HeyDoctor Medical Group (NJ), P.C., and HeyDoctor Medical Group (KS), P.A. However, the medical groups we contract with may change from time to time and employ or contract with physicians and other healthcare professionals to provide virtual medical consultations.

What about kids’ personally identifiable information?

The Services are only for users of the age of 18 or older. If you are under the age of 18, please do not attempt to register with us or provide any personal information about yourself to us at any time for the Services. We assume our Services are used by adults. We respect the privacy of parents and children and are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). With respect to those Services that ask for age, we do not collect personal information from individuals who identify themselves as under the age of 13 except in those limited circumstances where we believe that such collection is permitted under COPPA.

We may ask prospective users to provide their age during the registration process and at other times while using the Services. If a user indicates that he or she is under the age of 13 then all personal data collected during the registration process is automatically deleted except that we may retain and use limited information, such as the child's email address, for a limited period of time, in those cases where we believe that the collection and use of such information is permitted under COPPA.

If a parent believes that his or her child has provided us with personal information, he or she can contact us via email or postal mail as listed below. We will promptly delete the information upon learning that it relates to a child under the age of 13.
