Privacy policy
How we handle your information
Effective September 5, 2026. Applies to this website and the AgileRx application.
1. Who we are and what this policy covers
Agile Pharmas Inc. (an Ontario corporation, doing business as Agile Pharmas and AgileRx, "AgileRx", "we", "us") builds AgileRx, clinical services software for Ontario community pharmacies. This policy covers two things: this website (agilepharmas.com), and the AgileRx application that subscribing pharmacies and their staff use.
The two are treated differently below because the data involved is different: the website mainly collects information about the people who visit it and ask for a demo. The application processes personal health information on behalf of subscribing pharmacies, under a specific legal framework described in Section 3.
2. This website (agilepharmas.com)
What we collect
- Information you submit through the "Book a demo" or "Reserve" forms: name, work email, pharmacy name, role, number of locations, and any message you include.
- Standard analytics data about how visitors use the site (pages viewed, referring source, approximate location from IP, device/browser type), collected through Google Analytics (GA4).
How we use it
- To respond to your demo request or inquiry.
- To keep a record of the inquiry in our CRM (HubSpot) so we can follow up.
- To send you marketing or product updates only if you opted in to that on the form — we do not add you to a marketing list from a form submission alone.
- To understand and improve the site (aggregate analytics only).
Sharing
We share website form data with the service providers that run the site’s infrastructure — currently Resend (email delivery) and HubSpot (CRM) — solely to operate the site and respond to you. We do not sell this information.
3. The AgileRx application
AgileRx is used by pharmacy staff to document and bill funded clinical services (for example MedsCheck, minor ailments, vaccinations, and injections), to catch billing errors before and after submission, to manage appointments, and to report medication incidents to Ontario’s AIMS/NIDR program.
Because the application handles personal health information, Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 ("PHIPA") assigns specific roles:
Roles under PHIPA
- Each subscribing pharmacy is the Health Information Custodian (HIC) — it owns and is accountable for the personal health information in the app, the same as it is for the records in its dispensing system.
- Agile Pharmas Inc. acts as the pharmacy's agent / electronic service provider — we process personal health information only on the pharmacy's behalf, only as needed to provide the application, and only as the pharmacy directs. We do not use it for our own purposes.
- The pharmacy’s dispensing system (for example Fillware) remains the system of record. AgileRx is designed to work alongside it, holding working copies of clinical documentation, not replacing it.
What the application collects
- Staff account information: name, username, and login activity for each pharmacy employee provisioned to use AgileRx.
- Patient information entered by pharmacy staff in the course of a clinical service: demographics, health number where recorded, medications and allergies, clinical notes, consent records, appointment details, and billing/claim records tied to a service.
- For incident reports specifically: AgileRx is built to exclude patient identifiers by design — incidents are recorded with age ranges, not names or health numbers, and free-text fields are screened to catch identifiers before they’re saved.
What we do with it — and what we never do
- We use it only to provide the application’s modules to the subscribing pharmacy, to maintain and secure the platform, and to meet the pharmacy’s record-keeping obligations.
- We never sell personal health information, and we never use it for advertising.
- We never use identifiable patient information to train AI models. Where the app offers AI-assisted drafting of clinical notes, patient name and health number are stripped out before anything is sent to our AI provider, and drafts are never saved without a pharmacist reviewing them first.
- Anonymous incident data is submitted daily to ISMP Canada’s National Incident Data Repository (NIDR) as required by Ontario’s AIMS program — this data contains no patient identifiers.
Consent
Each pharmacy relies on its patients’ knowledgeable consent, within the existing circle of care, for the collection and use of their health information for the purpose of providing care — the same consent basis the pharmacy already relies on for dispensing. AgileRx does not separately collect or manage patient consent; it operates under the pharmacy’s consent framework and instructions.
Where information is stored
Personal health information handled by the AgileRx application is stored and processed in Canada — application hosting is based in Montréal, and the database is hosted in the AWS Canada (Central) region, including backups.
Retention
Clinical records are retained for at least 10 years from the last recorded service to the patient, or until 10 years after the patient turns 18, whichever is longer — the same retention period pharmacies already follow for dispensing records under Ontario’s pharmacy regulations.
Sub-processors
- Vercel — application hosting, Canada (Montréal).
- Supabase (AWS Canada Central) — primary database, including backups.
- Anthropic — AI-assisted drafting of clinical note text only; patient name and health number are excluded before any request is sent, and inputs/outputs are not used to train Anthropic’s models under our commercial terms.
- ISMP Canada (NIDR) — receives anonymous medication incident reports as required by the OCP AIMS program; no patient identifiers are included.
Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including unique staff logins, role-based access, an audit log of who accessed or changed a record, and encryption of data in transit and at rest.
4. Accessing or correcting your information
- If you’re a patient and want to access or correct your health information, contact your pharmacy directly — as the Health Information Custodian, your pharmacy is responsible for these requests, and AgileRx will refer any request we receive straight to them.
- If you’re a pharmacy administrator or staff member with a question about your AgileRx account, or you submitted a form on this website and want your information corrected or removed, contact us at hello@agilepharmas.com.
5. Children’s privacy
This website and the AgileRx application are intended for pharmacy professionals and are not directed at children. AgileRx is not designed to be used by, or to knowingly collect information directly from, children.
6. Changes to this policy
We'll update this page if how we collect or handle information changes, and update the effective date above. Material changes affecting how patient health information is handled will also be communicated to subscribing pharmacies directly.
