ScriptSafeBot visits pharmacy websites to verify compliance with ScriptSafe accreditation standards.

Data Use
Data collected by ScriptSafeBot is used solely for pharmacy compliance verification and monitoring. It is not sold, shared with third parties (other than the pharmacy's processor or acquirer as part of the compliance package), or used for any other purpose.
