- marcinzm 8y agoIn the US a drugstore's information falls under HIPAA which isn't perfect but does force some compliance at risk of large fines. HIPAA basically doesn't allow identified information to be shared except specifically related to treating or paying for your illness. Unlike a fly by night app a drugstore has a physical presence which means that tracking them down to fine is easier.
- gumby 8y agoLook up prescription surveillance, prescription drug monitoring programs, and the companies that sell prescription data to see how “private” your private prescription info is.
