BreslinsPharmacy.ie – PRIVACY FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

 If you don’t already know, as a Breslin’s Pharmacy customer, you’re really important to us. The New General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation came into force on May, 25th 2018 and we want you to know that we comply.

Everything we do is driven by you, to make sure that shopping with us is the best it can be. So, feel important – because you are.

It makes sense that we want to get to know you better, find out more about the kind of things you like, and the things you’re not so keen on, so you may have some questions about how we do that.

You can contact our Data Protection Officer if you have any questions or concerns about our handling of your Personal Information.
