It was designed to empower individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) to take control over their personal data while imposing comprehensive obligations on businesses that process this data. Our commitment to GDPR is unwavering, and TRICARE Prescription Explorer acknowledges the importance of compliance with these regulations. We have implemented measures and protocols designed to ensure that we handle your personal information with the utmost care and responsibility, respecting your privacy and protecting your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
