Loyalty program participation generates a persistent, linked dataset combining retail purchase history, prescription information, and behavioral data, which the policy authorizes for use in personalized advertising and communications. The combination of pharmacy and retail data within the loyalty program context creates specific data minimization and use limitation considerations.
Interpretive note: The operational segregation of prescription data within the loyalty program system from retail behavioral data cannot be assessed from the policy text alone.
Under this provision, myWalgreens program participants have their purchase and prescription data linked to their loyalty profile and used to deliver targeted offers and communications. Prescription data collected within the loyalty program context may or may not be subject to HIPAA protections depending on how it is processed within Walgreens' operational systems.
