Who we are
This website is run by the Pharmaceutical Society of Uganda (PSU), Pharmacy House, Plot 1847 Kyambogo, Banda, P.O. Box 3774, Kampala, Uganda. PSU is responsible for the personal information collected through it. Questions about this policy go to [email protected].
What we collect, and why
- Everyone who visits: like most websites, the server records each request (the page, the time, your internet address and the kind of browser) so we can keep the site working and secure. These records are deleted after 14 days.
- When you contact us through the contact form: your name, email address, phone number if you give it, the subject and your message. We use them only to answer you. Your message is read by the Secretariat staff who handle enquiries, and kept until they delete it.
- When you sign up for email updates: your email address, your name if you give it, the topics you choose and how often you want emails. Nothing is sent until you confirm from the email we send you. Every email has a link to change your choices or unsubscribe. Unsubscribing deletes your details; we keep only a record that the address unsubscribed, so it is not added back if we ever restore a backup.
- PSU staff who sign in to manage the website: their name, email address and sign-in details (passwords are stored only in scrambled form), and a record of the changes they make, with the internet address they made them from. The record is kept for at least a year.
What we don't do
The website uses no analytics, advertising or tracking. Visitors are not given cookies; the only cookies are the ones that keep PSU staff signed in. We do not sell or share your information for marketing.
Who else handles it
- Our email delivery provider sends the confirmation emails and email updates on our behalf.
- Our hosting providers run the website and store the documents and photos published on it.
They handle the information only to provide these services to PSU. Links to other services (maps, the PSU members' portals and other organisations' websites) are covered by those services' own privacy policies.
How long we keep it, and how we protect it
Information is kept as described above, and in the website's backups. Backups are encrypted and stored at PSU's office; daily copies are kept for 30 days and one copy a month for six months. The website is served over an encrypted connection, staff access is limited to what each person's role needs, and staff who can see personal information must use two-step sign-in.
Your rights
Under Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019, you can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and object to how we use it. You can unsubscribe from email updates at any time from any of our emails. To make a request, email [email protected] or contact us. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Personal Data Protection Office.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
