Cyprus Pharmacies Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 June 2026
Cyprus Pharmacies is operated by PRAESI Technologies Ltd (“PRAESI”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you use the Cyprus Pharmacies mobile application, cyprus-pharmacies.com, and related services.
Cyprus Pharmacies helps users find pharmacies, on-call pharmacies, contact details, maps, directions, pharmacy notices, and community-submitted corrections in Cyprus. The service is informational only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, emergency services, prescriptions, or medicine sales.
