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.

• Demographics and Interest Information

The GoodRx website has implemented Google Analytics Demographics and Interest reporting. This tool requires that we permit access to cookie identification information and enables us to view demographic and other information aggregated from the overall population of the visitors to our site.  The information we receive does not include your name or contact information.  

 

• Information You Provide to Third Parties

 

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

1. Healthcare professionals. Some health care professionals who use GoodRx may text or email you a coupon. In order to receive the coupon from your health care professional, you must provide your contact information and your prescription information. By providing your health care 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. 
2. Marketing partners. We may work with third parties to conduct marketing campaigns. 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 records from third parties. 
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.

We use personal information we receive from third parties 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 (directly or via third parties).

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

1. GoodRx does not sell personal medical information. We do not provide your personally-identifiable medical information to third parties in exchange for payment. 
2. 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 party service providers to help assist us in the above. 

Here are some examples where we may share information with service providers and partners:

• To securely store and analyze data
• To address or handle patient advocacy support requests
• To send you a discount card, coupons and/or communications (such as information about your account and marketing)
• To securely process your credit card information (in cases where you provide us with your credit card information)

We may disclose information you provide if 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.

What about kids’ personally identifiable information?

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We assume our website is used by adults or minors supervised by a parent or guardian. We respect the privacy of parents and children and are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). On those areas of our Site 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 on other areas of our Site. 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.

We believe that parents should supervise their children's online activities and consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a kid-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from otherwise disclosing online their name, address and other personal information without parental permission.

What else should you know about your privacy? 

• Security

We work hard to protect GoodRx and our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we hold. We maintain industry standard security measures to protect sensitive data. If you register to establish an account or to receive price alerts, your password is encrypted. Although we will exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission of information between your computer and our servers, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet and we accept no liability for any unintentional disclosure.

• Links to Other Sites

Our Site contains hyperlinks and pointers to Internet sites maintained by third parties and uses some services by third parties. We do not control, operate or endorse in any respect information, products or services provided by such third parties. Many third parties have their own privacy policies that differ from ours. This privacy policy only covers our Site and does not cover any other third parties. While we make every effort to keep your information secure, we do not control the policies of other parties.

• Do Not Track Requests

At this time we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.

• European Union Visitors

The GoodRx services are intended for use only by residents of the United States.

We do not collect any personally identifying information from such visitors to our Site, although we do archive their IP addresses.

Deletion Requests

At GoodRx, we strive to go above and beyond both legal requirements and consumer expectations when it comes to protecting your data. As part of our commitment, all users nationwide can request deletion of their data as specified in the California Consumer Privacy Act. You can submit a request by visiting https://www.goodrx.com/requestdeletion. Please note that we will need to verify your request before we can fulfill it, including verifying your identity. We will only produce prescription-specific data if you can provide us with the related BIN, PCN, group number, and member ID, due to the sensitivity of that information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may make changes to our privacy policy from time to time. When we do so, we will post the revised privacy policy on our Site. Please check the revision date at the top of this page to determine if the policy has been modified since you last reviewed it.
