Privacy Notice
Effective Date: April, 24 2024
At McKesson (“McKesson”, “our”, “us”, or “we”), we value the trust that healthcare providers place in us to use and protect personal information.
This Privacy Notice applies to our use of personal information we collect when you use the Lynx by McKesson (“Lynx”) or in the ordinary course of business. It also tells you how we use, share, and protect your personal information. When you use the application or provide personal information, you accept the privacy practices described in this Privacy Notice. Please read this complete Privacy Notice to understand our privacy practices before you use the application.
Scope
This Privacy Notice applies to Lynx (https://lynxmobile.mckesson.com/lynxmobileWeb/) and how we use the personal information we collect when you use of application.
The Privacy Notice does not apply to:
- McKesson affiliates and subsidiaries that may have separate websites, subdomains, and applications through other web, mobile, cloud or SaaS platforms which are not subject to this Privacy Notice.
- McKesson business partners, ad networks and other third parties that may have their own websites and services with separate privacy practices.
We encourage you to read the privacy notices of all websites and applications that you visit and understand their privacy practices.
Personal Information We Collect
When you use the Lynx application, we may collect personal information about you. The personal information we may collect includes, but is not limited to:
- First name, middle name, last name
- Personal electronic mail address
- User ID and password
- IP address, browser type, operating system, device/user activity (such as login-logout info, sites/pages visited, # of visits, click stream, navigation, beacon signal hits, errors, crash rate, or other user activities)
- Information you provide directly to us:
- When you use the application.
- When you use offline features related to application, such as communicating with us by phone, e-mail, or in person.
- When you interact with us in the ordinary course of business.
Personal information may be aggregated with other information that may not be considered personal information. If we combine your non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information.
Tracking Technologies We Use
We use various technologies to collect personal information including the following:
- Web server logs
- As is true of most websites and applications, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp and/or clickstream data.
- Cookies
- We and our subsidiaries, business partners, marketing partners, affiliates, or other vendors may use cookies. Cookies uniquely identify the device or user account you use for this application. You can control the use of cookies by adjusting your browser preferences at any time. If you reject cookies, you may still use our application. However, rejecting cookies may limit your ability to use some parts of our application.
- Other Tracking Technologies
- We and our subsidiaries, business partners, marketing partners, affiliates, or other service providers may also use technologies such as tags and scripts (small pieces of website code).
- We also use local storage to collect and store content information and preferences. Our third-party partners who provide certain features or display advertising on our site may do the same. Your browser may offer tools for removing HTML5 local storage.
These tracking technologies are used:
- To analyze trends
- To perform data analysis and audits
- To perform diagnostic services such as error reporting in order to improve the application
We may receive reports based on the use of tracking technologies on an individual as well as aggregated basis. If the tracking information we collect is considered individually identifiable information, the data is treated as Protected Health Information (''PHI'') which is defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (''HIPAA''). We will use and disclose this information as required by HIPAA’s Privacy and Security Rule.
How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals
Some web browsers have a 'Do Not Track' feature. This feature allows you to tell websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked over time and across websites. These features are not yet uniform across browsers and not broadly supported. This site or application is not currently set up to respond to those signals.
How We Use the Personal Information Collected
We may use the personal information we collect for purposes such as:
- Reporting or data analytics services
- Error detection and debugging
- Customer and troubleshooting support
- Fraud detection or monitoring services
- Data migration and/or installation services
- Marketing notices, newsletter, or communications via email
How We Share Personal Information Collected
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
We may need to share information with other companies, organizations, or individuals if we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of that information is reasonably necessary to:
- Meet applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests
- Enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations
- Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues
- Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of our users, McKesson, or the public as required or permitted by law
- Engage in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of McKesson assets.
Your Choices
You can limit the personal information we have by choosing not to provide it within Lynx or by failing to provide information through any offline features or in the ordinary course of business.
Access to Personal Information
Lynx allows you to directly view, edit, or delete information about you through your profile settings. If this option is not available, you can update your information by sending an email to msh.techsupport@mckesson.com.
Retention
We will retain your personal information as long as you use Lynx, your account is active, as necessary to comply with our legal or contractual obligations, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (''HIPAA'')
As a key provider of services and technology to the healthcare industry, McKesson has implemented programs to address the privacy and security requirements of HIPAA.
How We Protect Your Information
We protect the information we collect with proper physical, electronic and administrative safeguards. We only allow our employees, contractors, and agents to access personal information if they need access to perform services on our behalf. They are also subject to confidentiality obligations.
Any sensitive personal information is transmitted in an encrypted form using SSL encryption. Even though we have security safeguards, it is impossible to guarantee 100% security. If you have any questions about security or believe that your interactions with us are no longer secure (for example, you feel that your account with us has been compromised), you must notify us immediately by email at Privacy@McKesson.com.
Changes to this Privacy Notice
We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. Updates may describe new features, products or services. Updates may also describe changes in how we use your personal information or to your controls. We will not apply changes to this Privacy Notice retroactively to personal information we have previously collected. Since we may make changes, we recommend that you read the current version of this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we change this notice, we will update the “Effective Date” at the beginning of this notice.
