We do not collect data without your prior consent, except where permitted by Article (6) of the Law.
4. Why We Process Your Data
We process your data only for specific, lawful, and clearly defined purposes, which include:
- Verifying your eligibility and enrolling you in a patient support program.

We do not use your data for marketing purposes. Your data is not subject to automated processing or profiling.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your data based on your explicit prior consent as required by Article (5) of the Law. In limited cases, processing may occur without consent where permitted under Article (6), such as compliance with legal obligations or protection of vital interests.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
We share identifiable data only where strictly necessary:
- Authorized distributors: limited data required to dispense supported medication. Distributors, pharmacies, and hospitals are bound by the same legal obligations as the Controller under Article (14/D) of the Law.

7. Cross-Border Data Transfer
Your data is stored on Google Workspace servers located in the European Union. This transfer is protected by Google's data processing agreements and the safeguards provided under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which provide a level of protection no less than that required by Jordanian law.
In accordance with Article (15) of the Law, we inform you of this transfer and confirm that adequate protection is in place. Your consent form includes a specific acknowledgment of this transfer.
8. How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Specific retention periods are defined in each program's consent form. As a general rule:
- Active participants: data is retained for the duration of your enrollment.
- Lost contact: data is deleted within three (3) months of last contact.
- Consent withdrawal: data is deleted within three (3) months of your request.
- Program conclusion: data may be retained for up to one (1) year for regulatory record-keeping, after which it is permanently deleted.
We do not retain data after its purpose has been fulfilled, unless required by law per Article (6/B).
9. How We Protect Your Data
We implement appropriate security, technical, and organizational measures to protect your data in accordance with Articles (8) and (13) of the Law, including:
