Text Messaging Terms & Conditions

Omnicare or one or more of its affiliates offers access to pharmacy and healthcare service messages via recurring SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Message Service) text alerts and email alerts. Enrollment in text alerts requires a member to provide his or her own mobile phone number with an area code within the 50 United States or the District of Columbia. Enrollment in email alerts requires member to provide an email address. By enrolling to receive Omnicare text or email alerts, you agree to these terms and conditions, which become effective upon your enrollment. You may be asked to verify your mobile phone number before the service will start. This requires responding to a text alert sent to your mobile phone confirming your enrollment in this Service. 

You acknowledge that alerts will be sent to the mobile phone number or email address you provide to Omnicare. Such alerts may include limited personal information about your prescriptions, and whoever has access to the mobile phone or carrier account, or email address will also be able to see this information. Once you enroll, the frequency of text or email alerts we send to you will vary. You will typically receive alerts when we have information for you about your prescriptions or other healthcare information. Omnicare does not impose a separate charge for text alerts; however, your mobile carrier’s message and data rates may apply depending on the terms and conditions of your mobile phone contract. You are solely responsible for all message and data charges that you incur. Please contact your mobile service provider about such charges. The following carriers are supported: AT&T, Sprint, Boost, Verizon Wireless, U.S. Cellular®, T-Mobile®, Cincinnati Bell, Alltel, Virgin Mobile USA, Cellular South, Unicel, Centennial, and nTelos.

You may opt out of Omnicare text alerts at any time. To stop receiving text alerts, text STOP to the number upon which you are receiving text alerts. Texting STOP to 53333, 68425 or 86053 (or the number you are receiving Omnicare alerts from) will opt you out of any and all future Omnicare text messages. After you submit a request to unsubscribe, you will receive one final text alert from Omnicare confirming that you will no longer receive text alerts. No additional text alerts will be sent unless you re-activate your enrollment to the text alert program. For questions about text alerts, text the word Help to 53333. Text alerts may come from any one of these short codes and Omnicare may change, add, or remove short codes as necessary.

The Omnicare text alert programs are offered on an “as is” basis and: (1) may not be available in all areas at all times; and (2) may not continue to work in the event of product, software, coverage, or other service changes made by your wireless carrier. Omnicare may change or discontinue any of its text alert programs without notice or liability to you. Omnicare and its related companies and each of their respective officers, directors, and employees are not responsible and shall not be liable for any losses or injuries of any kind resulting, directly or indirectly, from any Omnicare text alert program or from technical failures or delays of any kind. Omnicare reserves the right to cease delivery of text alerts to any person at any time in its sole discretion.

Tracking / Third-Party Advertisers

We may use or partner third-party companies, including social medical companies like Facebook, as well as third-party advertising companies to provide measurements services and display targeted advertisements regarding goods and services that may be of interest to you when you access and use the Services; these targeted advertisements are based on information relating to your access to and use of the Services and of other online services. To do so, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser including through the use of pixel tags, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from our website and elsewhere on the internet.

Physical Location

We and our service providers may collect the physical location of your device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower, WiFi signals, beacons, Bluetooth, and near field communication protocols, when you are in or near a CVS store. We may use your device’s physical location to provide you with personalized location-based services and content, including for marketing purposes. We may also use such information to understand traffic patterns in, near, and across our store locations. We may share aggregated statistics derived from the location and other information we collect with advertisers and other third parties. You may be permitted to allow or deny such collection of your device’s location, such as through the settings on your mobile device and/or, to avoid the collection of location by beacons, by disabling Bluetooth.
