Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, understand website performance, maintain security, and improve the visitor experience.

We may also use third-party technologies that provide website functionality or analytics.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain appropriate consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

You may be able to limit or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.

Analytics and Tracking Technologies

We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve website performance.

We do not intentionally permit analytics or advertising technologies to receive Protected Health Information through pages, forms, portals, or other website functionality used to provide health care services where doing so would be inconsistent with HIPAA or other applicable law.

Technologies used on health-related portions of our website are evaluated based on the information transmitted, the purpose of the technology, applicable privacy requirements, and our contractual arrangements with service providers.

How We May Share Information

We do not sell Protected Health Information.

We may disclose personal information to vendors and service providers that perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, technology support, communications, security, or other business services.

When a vendor creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on our behalf and qualifies as a HIPAA business associate, we require appropriate contractual protections, including a Business Associate Agreement when required by law.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect PHI and other sensitive information as required by applicable law.

For detailed information about how Ray’s Drugs uses and discloses PHI and the rights available to you, please review our Notice of Privacy Practices .

Website Forms and Electronic Communications

Information submitted through our website is transmitted electronically.

Ray’s Drugs takes reasonable measures designed to protect information submitted through website functionality intended to collect sensitive information. However, ordinary email and general website communications may not always provide the same security protections as a dedicated secure health care communication system.

Please avoid including unnecessary medical, prescription, insurance, or other sensitive information in general contact messages.

For urgent medical concerns, do not rely on a website form or email. Contact an appropriate health care professional or emergency service.

Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, loss, or disclosure.

Where HIPAA applies, Ray’s Drugs maintains safeguards intended to comply with applicable HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule requirements.

No Internet transmission, website, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and as required by applicable pharmacy, health care, tax, regulatory, recordkeeping, and other legal obligations.

Protected Health Information is retained in accordance with applicable legal requirements and Ray’s Drugs’ record-retention policies.
