Legal, privacy and medical notices.
These notices explain the scope of the website, the verification service and how verification data is handled.
Medical information
Website content is provided for general product-information purposes. It does not replace advice, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring or a decision by a qualified healthcare professional. Prescription medicines must be used only as lawfully prescribed and supplied in the relevant market.
Product availability and authorization
Product names, presentations, authorization status, labelling and availability may differ by country. Nothing on this website is an offer to sell, supply or advertise a medicine where doing so is restricted or unlawful. Product pages describe the presentation printed on the pack; they are not a substitute for the approved product information for your market.
Verification service
The verification service checks whether the submitted series and code pair exists in the HAMMER register and reports its status and previous checks. A successful digital result does not replace physical inspection, lawful sourcing or professional judgment. A pack that fails verification, or whose result is unexpected, should not be used until the concern has been resolved.
Privacy and data collection
Verification attempts may store the submitted series and code identifiers, the result, a timestamp, limited browser information and a salted one-way hash of the network address. This data is used for fraud prevention, abuse detection, product-protection reviews and service security. Raw network addresses are not intentionally stored in the application database, although infrastructure logs may process them for security and operations.
Cookies and browser storage
The public website does not use analytics or advertising cookies in this release. It may use strictly necessary cookies and browser storage to operate the site, remember the privacy acknowledgement and protect the verification and administration services. The protected administrator interface uses a strictly necessary session cookie. Any future analytics or marketing technology requires a corresponding privacy update and, where required, consent.
Intellectual property
HAMMER names, marks, packaging layouts and original content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party marks remain the property of their owners. No licence is granted except for personal, non-commercial viewing of this website.
No warranty
The website and verification service are provided on an “as available” basis. Reasonable care is taken to keep the register and website accurate, but uninterrupted availability and freedom from error cannot be guaranteed. Verification results reflect the state of the register at the time of the check.
Contact and controller data
HAMMER, Leidsevaart 24, 2013 HA Haarlem, Netherlands. For privacy, product-quality or medical-information requests, use the dedicated contacts on the Contact page. Company registration and operator details are available through that channel.
Governing law
These notices are governed by the laws applicable to the website operator. Mandatory consumer and data-protection rights in your country of residence are not excluded.
