HIPAA Statement
In order to comply with implemented privacy provisions of HIPAA, UPNI member pharmacies may need to have a business associate agreement in place with us. As a service to our members, we have created an agreement that you can use for this purpose. MEMBERS ONLY: Please go to our Compliance Matters area for more detail and to download the business associate agreement.
Thank you for visiting the United Pharmacists Network (UPNI) web site. We understand that your privacy is important. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on every page of our site and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on our website. When you simply browse our site, we do not collect any personal information. The only personal information collected by us is when visitors voluntarily email us, request further information via email, or register to have access to our online materials.
When you register to have online access to UPNI resources, we collect basic information about you and the pharmacy with which you are affiliated. The types of personal information collected at these pages are:
- Your Name
- Address
- Email address
- Phone number
- Your position/title
- Pharmacist license number (if applicable)
- Name of pharmacy (where you work)
- Pharmacy NABP number
- Pharmacy address
- Pharmacy phone number
We use the information you provide about yourself to help us verify your identity, to set up online access to our proprietary materials, and to provide information to existing network members, and pharmacies and pharmacists who are interested in becoming members of our network. We do not share this information with outside parties unless you have signed an agreement and are approved to be part of our network. Then, we only share your information with our contracted clients for which we deliver pharmaceutical care and services and business associates who provide special services that are of benefit to our membership.
We use email addresses to answer the email we receive, to send requested information, and, on occasion, to let you know when we add new information, features, services or programs to our site. For member pharmacies and pharmacists, we will, from time to time, use email addresses to send network news, special health plan bulletins and other important contract news. Email addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties unless you have otherwise agreed to the usage of your email for communications with UPNI contracted parties or business associates.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. At any time, you can let us know if you would like to change how you receive information from us or opt out of receiving communications. See our Opt Out/Change Options below.
Our Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Our site requires users to give us unique identifiers in order to log into the secure areas of our site. These identifiers include the pharmacy NABP number and user-defined password. We utilize these unique identifiers to verify the user's identity and prevent the release of personal information to unauthorized users. UPNI strongly encourages you to take appropriate steps to safeguard your personal password to help protect your privacy.
Our site has additional security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and/or unauthorized alteration of the information under our control, including but not limited to:
- Built-in firewalls to keep unauthorized users from accessing information through UPNI's computer network.
- Encryption technology, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for certain communications.
The UPNI site uses cookies to store information about your personal preferences on your computer, e.g., save your password for future visits. Just as many major Web sites use cookies as a standard practice to provide useful features when a user visits the site, we use cookies to streamline your visit. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user's computer. A user can set his or her browser to refuse cookies, but then he or she may not be able to take full advantage of the site.
Our Commitment To Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
If you have submitted personally identifiable information to UPNI through our website and wish to (1) change or correct your information, (2) change how you receive information or (3) opt out of receiving future communications from us, you may notify us using any of the following options:
- You can send your request via email to privacy@upninc.com.

Please note that we may change our privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page.
