Pharmacist’s customers’ data constitute “health data”
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled that customer data provided when ordering pharmacy-only, non-prescription medicines online is classified as “health data” under Article 4(15). Consequently, this data is protected by data protection regulations such as the GDPR, as per the Lindenapotheke case (C-21/23).
