Sharing personal data with third parties
We use external parties to perform our services. 3CO never sells your data to third parties. Data is only shared when it is necessary to provide our services or when we are legally obliged to do so. If third parties process personal data on behalf of 3CO, this always happens on the basis of a processing agreement that includes agreements about the protection and security of personal data. Below, we explain who we share data with, why this happens and under what conditions:
Partner pharmacy: In order to provide you with the prescribed medication, we share relevant personal data with our Partner Pharmacy. This may include prescription and additional medical information. Countermedication control can also take place via the National Exchange Point (LSP), so that safe use in combination with other medicines is guaranteed.
Healthcare providers: your medical data can be shared with your treating doctor so that they have a complete overview of your health situation and can tailor treatment accordingly. This may also include patient data from the online questionnaire, if you have given your consent.
Payment processor: For the secure processing of payments, 3CO collaborates with Plug&Play. As soon as you make a purchase, your payment details are immediately processed by Plug&Play. 3CO itself has no access to this information. Plug&Play processes your data in accordance with their own privacy policy and strict security standards.
Statutory authorities: if we are obliged to provide data to government organizations or supervisors.
Third-party advertising services: In order to provide customized advertising services, 3CO may share certain data with external advertising partners.
Service providers: we work with various external parties that provide support services. This may include IT service providers (including cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services), payment operators (such as Plug&Play), courier services for order delivery (e.g. PostNL), and other parties that provide us with technical or support services.
Transfer of data to third countries
3CO tries to limit the transfer of personal data outside the European Union (EU) as much as possible. In some cases, however, it may be necessary to transfer personal data to parties outside the EU.
One example is the use of service providers' servers in the United States for the purposes mentioned above. Specifically, this concerns Webflow, where the transfer takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. Upon request, we can provide you with a copy of these terms. With Webflow, only technical data and information about your website visit is shared.
Comply with personal data processing principles
3CO processes personal data in line with the six fundamental principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These principles form the basis of our data policy and guarantee that we handle personal data carefully and responsibly.
Legality, Fairness and Transparency
Legality: personal data is only processed on the basis of a valid legal basis, such as consent from the person concerned, performance of an agreement, compliance with legal obligations or our legitimate interest.
Fairness: processing takes place in an honest manner, where we treat personal data with respect.
Transparency: we inform stakeholders clearly and accessible via this privacy policy and other means of communication about how personal data is collected, used and shared.
Purpose limitation
We process personal data only for predetermined, concrete and lawful purposes that have been clearly shared with the person concerned. Data is not further used in a way that is contrary to these purposes.
Examples of purposes include providing medical care, managing user accounts and improving our services.
Data minimization
We limit processing to the personal data that is strictly necessary for the intended purposes. Only data that is relevant and does not go beyond what is necessary is collected. Our data collection practices are reviewed regularly to ensure that no redundant information is collected or retained.
Accuracy
We ensure that personal data remains accurate and up to date. Incorrect or outdated data will be updated or deleted as soon as possible.
Data subjects have the right to have their data corrected, and we have set up procedures to easily exercise this right.
Storage limitation
Data is not kept longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as long as legal retention periods require.
For example, medical data is stored in accordance with the legal obligations for medical records. As soon as data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it.
Confidentiality and Integrity
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access or processing, and against loss, destruction or damage. Examples include encryption, access restrictions and the use of secure communication channels.
How we protect personal data
3CO takes the security of personal data very seriously and takes appropriate measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorized access, unwanted disclosure and unlawful alteration or destruction. If you still have reason to suspect that your data is not properly secured or that there is abuse, please contact our customer service directly via the live chat on the website or by email at info@3co.nl.
To protect your personal data, 3CO has implemented the following organizational and technical measures, among others:
- Access control: access to personal data is only possible for authorized employees and third parties who need this information for their work. Access is further secured with role-based authorizations and two-factor authentication.
- Encryption: data is stored and transmitted in encrypted form, both at rest and during transmission, using strong encryption protocols. This ensures confidentiality and integrity of personal data.
Secure connections: Communication with our website takes place via a secure TLS connection. In addition, we use DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance). These technologies ensure that e-mail communications from 3CO cannot be falsified and that your messages are delivered securely and reliably. Together with TLS, DKIM and DMARC ensure that data and correspondence between you and 3CO remain protected and confidential.
Backups and recovery: we regularly back up personal data and have set up recovery procedures to ensure the continuity of our services in the event of incidents or data leaks.
Monitoring and logging: our systems are actively monitored to identify suspicious activity. We also keep log files of access to personal data for control and accountability.
3CO continues to continuously review and improve these measures to ensure a high level of security.
Patient and Consumer Rights
You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
- Right of access — you can request what personal data 3CO processes about you, including the purposes of the processing, the categories of data and the recipients.
- Right to rectification — if your information is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct or complete it.
- Right to be forgotten — in certain situations, you can ask us to delete your personal data, for example when data is no longer required, you withdraw your consent, or the processing proves unlawful.
- Right to restrict processing — in specific cases, such as when the accuracy of data is disputed or objected, you can request that processing be temporarily restricted.
- Right to data portability — you may receive the personal data that you have provided to 3CO in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form and transfer it to another party without hindrance.
- Right to object — you can object to processing based on your specific situation at any time, in particular when processing is based on a legitimate interest or a task carried out in the public interest.

3CO respects your privacy and rights and encourages you to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
How long we keep personal data
We do not keep personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as long as required by law. Data is stored as long as you are registered as a user of the Platform. Afterwards, data can be stored for historical, statistical or scientific purposes, with 3CO striving to store it in a form that no longer makes it possible to identify people. Medical data is stored in accordance with the legal storage periods for medical records.
Privacy Policy Changes
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy. In case of major changes, we will inform you via the Platform or by e-mail. We recommend that you check this policy regularly to stay informed about how we process your personal data.
