Privacy Policy
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.
What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our website?
The information we collect from you falls into two categories: personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and non-personally identifiable information (i.e., information that cannot be used to identify who you are) (“Non-Personal Information”). This Privacy Policy covers both types and will tell you how we might collect and use each.
Personal Information we may collect from you includes:
Your name, username, email address, and password
Any eyewear prescription data you provide to us (including data from the pupillary distance measurement function of the Services)
Information from Third Party Services that you explicitly give us access to
Your contact information, such as your phone number, social media handle, or email (depending on how you contact us)
Your credit card information (although we use third party payment processors, as described below), billing address and shipping address, if you make purchases through the Services
Live chats and customer service phone calls
Sales and Home Try-On Kit history
Survey responses to the extent you include Personal Information
We may also collect some of the following Non-Personal Information from you:
