About This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Cosmic PCTS ("we", "us", or "our") handles personal information collected through our website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). We aim to provide clear, understandable information about our data practices. This policy applies to visitors, account holders, customers, and other individuals who interact with our Services.
Depending on your jurisdiction and the specific services you use, different rules may apply. We have structured this policy to cover general principles as well as region-specific rights. Please read the entire document carefully. If you have questions, contact us using the details in the Contact and Privacy Requests section.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

We collect information in several ways: directly from you, automatically through technology, and from third parties where permitted. The categories below explain what may be collected depending on your interactions.

You may provide information when you create an account, place an order, contact support, or interact with our Services. Examples include:

You are not required to provide all of this information, but some features may be unavailable without it.

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical data, including:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Language and time zone
- Referring pages and exit pages
- Interaction data (clicks, page views)

This information helps us understand usage, diagnose issues, and maintain security. We do not use it to identify you personally unless combined with other data.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for various purposes. These may include:
- Essential: Required for basic website operation, such as page navigation and access to secure areas.
- Functional: Used to remember preferences and settings where applicable.
- Analytics: Help us understand website performance and usage patterns.
- Security: Used to detect abuse, fraud, and security threats.
- Marketing (if enabled): May be used for advertising or marketing measurement.
Not all categories may be active on our site. You can manage optional cookies through your browser settings or any consent mechanism we provide. Required cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the site to function. We do not use deceptive consent practices.
How We Use Information
We use personal information for the following purposes, depending on your interactions:
- Create and manage accounts
- Process orders and deliveries
- Provide customer support
- Process payments and refunds
- Send requested communications
- Send marketing where permitted
- Improve website functionality
- Understand website usage
- Monitor security
- Detect and prevent fraud
- Comply with legal obligations
- Maintain business records
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce our terms
- Protect users and our business
We only use information for purposes reasonably necessary and in accordance with applicable law.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where required by law, we rely on one or more legal bases for processing personal information. These may include:
- Consent: You have given clear consent for specific purposes.
- Contract: Processing is necessary for a contract with you.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with the law.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your rights do not override those interests.
- Vital Interests: Processing is necessary to protect someone’s life.
The applicable legal basis depends on the processing activity, your jurisdiction, and the relationship with you.
Pharmaceutical and Health-Related Information
Because Cosmic PCTS operates in the pharmaceutical space, you may choose to submit information that could be considered health-related or sensitive. Examples may include:
- Product inquiries related to specific medications or conditions
- Prescription-related information where applicable
- Health information voluntarily submitted through support or order processes
- Information necessary to process or fulfill regulated products where legally required
We treat such information with heightened care. However, not all customer information is automatically considered protected health information under HIPAA. The legal classification depends on factors such as the type of information, how it was collected, the service involved, the parties processing it, your jurisdiction, and applicable law.
We advise you not to submit unnecessary sensitive information through general contact forms. If such information is required, we will explain why and how it will be protected.
Orders and Transactions
When you place an order, we collect information necessary to complete the transaction, including product details, delivery address, and order status. This information is used to fulfill your purchase, manage returns and refunds, and maintain accurate accounting records.
Payment Information
Payment information may be processed by third-party payment providers used to complete transactions. The information processed by Cosmic PCTS depends on the payment method and provider involved. We do not store complete payment card numbers on our servers unless we explicitly state otherwise. Please review the privacy policies of any payment providers you interact with.
Account Information
If you create an account, we store your login credentials, profile information, and preferences. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You can update or delete your account by contacting us (see Contact).
Communications
We may communicate with you for various reasons, including order updates, security alerts, and customer support. We distinguish between operational communications and marketing. Operational messages are essential to your use of the Services and cannot be opted out of (e.g., order confirmations, security notices). Marketing messages are optional and can be managed as described in Marketing Communications.
Analytics and Personalization
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve functionality and user experience. Where applicable, we may personalize content based on your interactions and preferences. Such processing is subject to applicable consent or legitimate interests.
Fraud Prevention and Security
We process information to detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security incidents. This may include monitoring transactions, IP addresses, and usage patterns. We use such data to protect our users and business.
When We Share Information
We may share personal information with the following categories of recipients:
- Payment processors: to process payments.
- Hosting and cloud infrastructure providers: to store data.
- Shipping and logistics partners: to deliver products.
- Website analytics providers: to understand usage.
- Customer support platforms: to manage inquiries.
- Email service providers: to send communications.
- Fraud prevention and security services: to protect against abuse.
- Professional advisers: such as lawyers and accountants, when necessary.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: when required by law.
We only share information that is reasonably necessary for the recipient to perform their function, and we require contractual safeguards where applicable.
Service Providers and Processors
We engage third-party service providers to assist with various aspects of our operations. Where required by applicable law, we require service providers handling personal information on our behalf to use appropriate safeguards and to process information only for authorized purposes.
Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
Cosmic PCTS does not intend to sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, certain jurisdictions define “sale” or “sharing” broadly enough that particular forms of advertising, analytics, or other data disclosure may fall within those definitions. Where such rules apply to our activities, we will provide the rights and disclosures required by law.
International Data Transfers
Depending on our infrastructure and service providers, your information may be processed in countries other than your own. For individuals in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with transfer restrictions, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as:
- Adequacy decisions by relevant authorities
- Standard Contractual Clauses
- UK International Data Transfer mechanisms
- Other legally recognized safeguards
We do not claim a specific mechanism is implemented unless verified.
Data Retention
| Data Category | Purpose | Retention Principle |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Information | Account/service delivery | As necessary for the relationship and legal obligations |
| Transaction Information | Orders/accounting | As required for business and legal purposes |
| Support Communications | Customer service | As necessary for support, disputes, or legal needs |
| Security Information | Security/fraud prevention | As reasonably necessary for security and legal obligations |
| Marketing Preferences | Communications | Until changed, withdrawn, or no longer required |
We do not publish fixed numerical retention periods unless required by law. Some information may be retained longer for tax, accounting, legal claims, fraud prevention, disputes, security, or contract enforcement.
Data Security
We implement organizational, technical, and administrative safeguards designed to protect personal information. These may include:
- Access controls and authentication mechanisms
- Encryption where appropriate
- Monitoring for suspicious activity
- Secure infrastructure and development practices
- Employee access restrictions and training
- Incident response procedures
No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot promise absolute security, but we work continuously to protect your data.

Not all rights apply in every jurisdiction or circumstance. We will assess and respond to requests as required by law.

Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers and devices provide privacy signals such as “Do Not Track” or other opt-out mechanisms. The way these signals are recognized may vary by technology and applicable law. You can manage cookies and tracking through browser settings.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to external sites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.
Future Technologies and Automated Processing
As technology evolves, we may introduce features such as artificial intelligence, automated customer support, personalization, recommendation systems, fraud detection, or automated decision-making. If such technologies process personal information in a way that could significantly affect you, we will update this policy and provide appropriate notices and rights as required by law.
We will provide additional information where applicable if we introduce automated processing that is subject to specific transparency, consent, or individual-rights requirements.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or a prominent notice on our website where required. The "Last Updated" date will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
