This Privacy Notice applies when you use our website and other services, tools, and online applications or when you interact with us in other ways, such as through our customer service, at our in-person events, if you are visiting one of our offices, or from third party sources (collectively, “Services”). It also explains your rights and choices regarding the Personal Data you give us.

This Privacy Notice only covers such other businesses, websites, apps, and services when they link to or provide you with this Privacy Notice.

Please note that our products are only intended for and can only be sold to individuals located in the United States.

Some of our affiliates and business lines may be regulated by HIPAA and have a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices which governs their use, collection, and disclosure of PHI. Use and disclosure of your data may be governed by multiple privacy notices if you obtain services from multiple business lines, as separate privacy notices may be applicable to each business with which you engage. Your data will only be used as specified by each business in its respective notice.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice, please email AHSprivacy@cardinalhealth.com.
