By using Mu Pharmacy you consent to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the platform.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Account Information

Name, email address, phone number, password (hashed), and business registration details for pharmacy and wholesaler accounts.

Profile & Licence Data

PMRA (Pharmacy and Medicines Regulatory Authority) licence numbers, company names, physical addresses, and other verification documents submitted during registration.

Usage Data

Search queries, pages visited, features used, timestamps, IP addresses, browser type, and device identifiers.

Inventory & Transaction Data

Product listings, stock levels, pricing, and order records submitted by registered pharmacies and wholesalers.

Communications

Messages or support requests you send to us.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Session cookies, authentication tokens, and local storage values necessary for the platform to function. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the platform • Verify the identity and licensure of registered businesses • Enable medicine search, stock queries, and order coordination • Send transactional notifications (order updates, restock alerts) • Respond to customer support enquiries • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents • Comply with legal obligations under Malawian law • Generate anonymised, aggregated market analytics (no individual is identifiable)

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

Other Platform Users

Pharmacy and wholesaler contact details (name, email, phone) are visible to authenticated users to facilitate orders and enquiries. Public search results show product and supplier information that businesses have listed publicly.

Service Providers

Trusted third-party vendors who help us operate the platform (e.g., cloud hosting, email delivery). They are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions.

Legal and Regulatory

Where required by Malawian law, court order, or a lawful request from a regulatory authority such as the PMRA (Pharmacy and Medicines Regulatory Authority) or the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA).

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. After account deletion:

• Basic account records are retained for 12 months for fraud prevention and regulatory compliance • Inventory and transaction records are retained for 7 years in accordance with Malawian financial record-keeping requirements • Anonymised usage analytics are retained indefinitely

You may request earlier deletion subject to the exceptions above.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard measures to protect your information, including:

• TLS encryption for all data in transit • Bcrypt password hashing — we never store plaintext passwords • JWT-based session management with short expiry windows • Role-based access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel • Regular security reviews and penetration testing

No system is perfectly secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at info@mupharmacy.mw.

7. Cookies

Mu Pharmacy uses the following types of cookies:

**Essential cookies** — required for authentication, session management, and core platform functionality. These cannot be disabled without breaking the platform.

**Preference cookies** — store UI preferences such as filter settings. Cleared when you log out.

We do not use analytics or advertising cookies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, but disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in.

8. Your Rights

Under applicable Malawian data protection principles and, where applicable, international best practice, you have the right to:

• **Access** — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you • **Correction** — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data • **Deletion** — request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations • **Portability** — receive your data in a machine-readable format • **Objection** — object to certain types of processing

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@mupharmacy.mw. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

Mu Pharmacy is not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal information, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has registered, please notify us at info@mupharmacy.mw.

10. International Data Transfers

Mu Pharmacy is operated from Malawi. If you access the platform from outside Malawi, your information may be transferred to and processed in Malawi or in countries where our service providers are located. We take steps to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection requirements.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify registered users by email or in-platform notification.
