What Personal Information Do We Collect (and How Do We Collect It)?

We collect several types of Personal Information from and about the users of our Websites.  “Personal Information” refers to any information about you which identifies you, by which you can be personally identified, or about your Internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Websites, and usage details.  We collect or obtain the following categories of Personal Information about you.  Please see “How Do We Use and Share Personal Information?” for more information about why we collect the categories of information below.

Non-Personal Information Collected

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, Personal Information does not include:

• Publicly available information from government records.
• Deidentified or aggregated consumer information that does not identify and cannot reasonably be linked to an individual or a household.
• Information excluded from the California Consumer Privacy Act’s (“CCPA”) scope, like:
  • health or medical information covered by HIPAA and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (“CMIA”) or clinical trial data (please see our HIPAA Notice for more detail about the privacy of and your rights related to your health information); and
  • Personal Information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FRCA”), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (“FIPA”), and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

Sources of Personal Information

We obtain all of the categories of Personal Information listed above from the following categories of sources:

• Directly from you. For example, from forms you complete or products and services you purchase, including when you make appointments with a Practice or purchase products from our Websites or in our stores.
• Indirectly from you. For example, from observing your actions on our Websites using cookies or through your interactions with email communications from us. 
• From third-party service providers. For example, we obtain demographic data from third-party service providers to use for marketing analytics.

More About Cookies

We and our third-party service providers automatically collect statistics from your browser, email interactions with us, or device on site usage patterns and your preferences through cookies, web logs, web beacons, and third-party service providers. This information may include Internet protocol (IP) addresses, device ID and type, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, the operating system used by your device, date/time stamp, your mobile device's geographic location, and/or clickstream data.
When you visit or interact with our Websites, we (or our third-party service providers) may also use cookies and other types of web technologies to collect technical and usage information. We may use services provided by Google and other data analytics companies to collect such information. For more information on how Google uses your information please see "How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps", www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We may link the information we store in cookies to any Personal Information you submit while on our Websites. When we link the information we store in cookies to any Personal Information you submit while on our Websites, we may use that information to send you offers online, via email, or through the mail.

We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. We use session ID cookies to allow visitors to easily navigate during checkout and access their account information. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. We use a persistent cookie to welcome visitors returning to the site and to associate appropriate advertisements for our visitors.

Most Internet browsers allow you to disable, turn the cookie feature off, or reject cookies entirely by changing the settings on your Internet browser. Changing these settings may affect your ability to use certain features and functions of the Websites. Without a session ID cookie, your ability to complete a purchase and checkout will be limited.

If you are accessing our Websites on your mobile device, we may use mobile device IDs (the unique identifier assigned to a device by the manufacturer) or Advertising IDs (for iOS 6 and later), instead of cookies, to recognize you. We do this to store your preferences and track your use of our Websites. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted, but Advertising IDs can be reset in 'Settings' on your iPhone.

You may interact with content on our Websites through social media plugins provided by Facebook, Twitter, Google and LinkedIn. We do not control the information that these companies collect when you choose to use their social media tools, whether through cookies or otherwise, nor do we control how these companies use any information they collect. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with these social media tools. 

How Do We Use and Share Personal Information?

We may use or disclose the Personal Information we collect for one or more of the following business purposes:

• To fulfill or meet the reason for which you provided the information. For example, when you schedule an appointment with one of the Practices, we share the information you have provided with the respective Practice, and we use your Personal Information to assist the Practice in scheduling or rescheduling your appointment. The information you supply to us also is added to our customer database and may be used to send you communications regarding our Services or the Services of the Practices for which we provide various administrative services. These communications may be through emails, direct mailings, telephone calls, or text messages sent to your mobile device (with your consent where required by law). If you provide your Personal Information to purchase a product or service, we will use that information to process your payment and facilitate delivery. We may also save your Personal Information to facilitate new or repeat product orders, including to send you prescription reminders on behalf of the Practices, or process returns.
• To provide, support, personalize, and develop our Websites and Services.
• To create, maintain, customize, and secure your account with us.
• To process your requests, purchases, transactions, and payments, to confirm and communicate with you about appointments, Services, and to prevent transactional fraud.
• To provide you with support and to respond to your inquiries, including to investigate and address your concerns and monitor and improve our responses.
• To personalize your Website experience and to deliver content and product and service offerings relevant to your interests, including targeted offers and ads through our Websites, third-party sites, via mail, and via email or text message (with your consent where required by law).
• To help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our Websites, Services, databases and other technology assets, and business.
• For testing, research, analysis, and product development, including to develop and improve our Websites and Services.
• To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
• As described to you when collecting your Personal Information.
• To evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which Personal Information held by us about our users is among the assets transferred.

Disclosures of Personal Information for a Business Purpose

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed the following categories of Personal Information to our third-party service providers for the business purposes described above:
            Category A: Identifiers.
            Category B: California Customer Records Personal Information categories.
            Category C: Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law.
            Category D: Commercial information.
            Category F: Internet or other similar network activity.
            Category K: Inferences drawn from other Personal Information.
We use third-party service providers to provide certain services on our behalf. As part of their services to us, these service providers may have access to some or all of the data that we maintain, including transaction data and your Personal Information, but they are always required to maintain the confidentiality of information they receive from us and are restricted from using the information for any purposes other than those authorized by us.
In addition to third-party service providers, we share all of the categories of Personal Information we collect with government entities (if required by law or reasonably necessary to avoid harm).

Opting Out of Communications

You may opt out of receiving (choose not to receive) some types of communications from us to you. The process by which you may opt out is described below, and may be identified in the communication you receive. If you would like to opt out of future emails, you may click on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email you receive, or call us at 1-800-637-3597.  If you would like to opt out of future direct mailings and telephone calls, you may do so by calling us at 1-800-637-3597. If you no longer want to receive text notifications, you may opt out of receiving further text messages by (a) replying STOP to the text you receive, or (b) by calling us at 1-800-637-3597. Your request to opt out of telephone calls and/or text messages will be recorded with your name and telephone number in our internal records. Your request to opt-out of emails and direct mails will be recorded with your name, email address, and physical address in our internal records. We will process opt out requests within a reasonable time.  It may take up to 30 days to process your requests related to direct mailings, text notifications, and telephone calls and up to 10 days to process your requests related to email.  You are not required to consent to receive emails, direct mailings, or telephone calls as a condition of purchase.  Please note that direct mailings are often prepared many weeks in advance, and you may continue to receive mail for 6 to 10 weeks.  Please also note that, even if you opted out of receiving marketing communications from us, we may still contact you for transactional or informational purposes, such as for customer service, exam appointment reminders, or product recalls.  We also may need to contact you with questions or information regarding any exams you have had or orders you have placed.

Sale of Personal Information

We are careful to share your Personal Information in ways that respect your privacy and only as descried in this Privacy Policy.  You are our valued customer, not a product, and our policy is that we do not and will not sell or rent your Personal Information to others for money, unless you give us your consent or direct us to do so.  All of the categories of Personal Information that we collect have been shared with other companies, including our affiliates and the Practices, for a business purpose.

Contests and Drawings

We may sponsor or host contests or drawings from time to time. Some contests may be offered in conjunction with a third-party sponsor, and you will be notified at the time of the contest as to whether a third-party sponsor is involved and whether the third-party sponsor will be receiving your Personal Information to send promotional communications or for other purposes. You have the ability to choose whether or not to enter the contest at that time based on the terms and conditions associated with that particular contest. Please read all terms and conditions carefully before making your choice.

Links to Third-Party Websites

Our Websites may include links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from ours. If you submit Personal Information to any of those websites, your Personal Information is governed by their privacy policies. Please be aware that we do not endorse and are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites, and the Privacy Policy presented here does not apply to such third-party websites. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

Testimonials

We display personal testimonials of satisfied customers on our Websites in addition to other endorsements. With your consent, we may post your testimonial along with your name. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial, you may contact us at [email protected]

Prescription Verification

We may verify your prescription information provided with your order with your doctor or eye-care provider as required by federal law. For more information about your Protected Health Information, please see our HIPAA Notice.

Security

We have implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and prevent unauthorized access to, maintain data security of, and correctly use the Personal Information we collect online. Please note that there is risk involved in using the Internet. Thus, our goal is to provide a reasonable level of security based on general industry standards. We therefore recommend that you use every precaution to protect your Personal Information when using the Internet and any other links. All transactions occur through our secure server, protected by a DigiCert® Secure Site Certificate. That means that we use encryption to secure Personal Information sent from your computer to our servers. In addition, credit card numbers and other sensitive information are encrypted in our database(s) to provide a second layer of security for your Personal Information. When credit card information is transmitted online, we use Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) server software to prevent unauthorized access to the information. SSL is a highly sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our Website servers. You can identify the secure connection by looking for a locked padlock icon at the lower portion of your browser window or on the left side of the URL in the address/search bar.

Children's Privacy

Our Websites and Services are not directed to children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. No one under age 16 may provide any Personal Information on our Websites.  It is our policy not to knowingly solicit or permit children under the age of 16 to provide their Personal Information for any purpose. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) and our internal policies, if a person under age 16 submits information to us through any part of our Websites, and we know that the person submitting information is under age 16, we will not use it for any purpose. We will delete the information as soon as we discover it, and we will not disclose it to third parties. If you are under the age of 16, please do not use our Websites and our Services.

Your Rights and Choices About Your Personal Information

Updating Your Information

If you ever need to update or delete any Personal Information on file with us, you may call us at 1-800-637-3597 or email us at [email protected] If you need to update your Personal Information when re-ordering, you will have a chance to make changes to your payment information, shipping, and billing address(es) at checkout.

Your California Privacy Rights – California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The following rights apply only to California residents:
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

• The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.
• The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
• If we sold or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
  • sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
  • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

We do not disclose Personal Information to any third parties for their direct marketing purposes. In addition, under California law, website operators are required to disclose how they respond to web browser 'do not track' signals or other similar mechanisms that provide users with the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of Personal Information of a user over time and across third-party websites, to the extent the operator engages in that collection. We do not respond to any such 'do not track' signals, as no one ‘do not track’ standard has gained consensus. California law also requires website operators to disclose whether third parties may collect Personal Information about their users' online activities over time and across different websites when the users use the operator's website. We do not knowingly permit third parties to collect Personal Information about an individual user's online activities over time and across different websites when a user uses our Websites. Third parties that have content embedded on our Websites (such as social networking features) may set cookies on a user's browser and/or obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited our Websites from a certain IP address. These third parties cannot collect any other Personal Information from our Websites unless you provide it to them directly.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

• Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
• Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
• Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
• Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
• Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
• Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:

• Calling us at 1-800-637-3597
• Completing the CCPA Request Form
• Emailing us at [email protected]

Only you, or a person or a business entity that is registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf (“Authorized Agent”), may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You (or your Authorized Agent) may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an Authorized Agent.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

In some instances, we may ask you to provide other documentation to verify your identity.  If this happens, we will contact you directly with this request.  We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.  If we cannot verify your identity with a high degree of certainty, we may only be able to provide a report with category-level information and we may not be able to delete some of your Personal Information.

• Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
• We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Authorized Agents use the same process as described above to submit requests.  Authorized Agents must provide a power of attorney or other documentation demonstrating their authority to submit a request on your behalf, as well as providing sufficient information to verify your identity. Please note that if you or your Authorized Agent submit a request over the phone, you (or your authorized agent) must also email your forms to [email protected] within 15 days of the request submission.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your California privacy rights under the CCPA. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Please know that if you ask us to delete your Personal Information, or you exercise your right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Information, it may impact your experience with us, and you may not be able to participate in certain programs or services which require usage of your Personal Information to function.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS DISPUTES SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS. Any dispute relating in any way to your visit to this website or to products you purchase through us shall be submitted to arbitration in the state of Georgia, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state of federal court in the state of Georgia, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

If for any reason the American Arbitration Association is unable or unwilling to hear the arbitration, you and we agree to binding arbitration before an arbitrator appointed by the court. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms of Use shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms of Use, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You and we agree to pursue any dispute individually and shall not bring or participate in any class or collective action, including, without limitation, class arbitration.
