At Demo-Optix, we’re all about helping you see things a little more clearly. And we believe that you have a right to know what information We collect from you. So we’ve created this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) to let you know what to expect when you interact with Demo-Optix, which does business as Demo-Optix (“Demo-Optix,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our”), and any of Our affiliates, to which We may provide certain administrative or management services (“Affiliates”). This Policy applies to your use of Our retail locations; any of Our websites, website features, and mobile applications (each, an “App”).

For additional details about the personal information we collect and the rights afforded to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act, please scroll to Section 8.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected or received through other means, use and sharing of anonymous or deidentified data, or information collected by third party websites (“Third Party Services”), such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, and Google+, that We do not own or control, even if you access them through Our Services. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Services you access so that you know how they will collect, use, and share your information.

Finally, some of the licensed optometrists and ophthalmologists (“Eye Doctors”) who perform medical services at Our locations are independent businessmen and women with their own practices (“Independent Practices”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to Independent Practices or to websites or mobile apps they operate. Please review the Independent Practices’ privacy notices for information on how they use customer information.

For additional details about the personal information We collect and the rights afforded to California residents, please see Your California Privacy Rights.

From time to time, We may clarify, revise, or update this Policy. This may include making changes to the way We collect, maintain, and store information. If We make any changes to this Policy, We will revise the date at the top of the Policy. Changes to this Policy will become effective once they are posted.

1. What Information Demo-Optix Collects

We collect different types of information for Our business purposes from the following sources:

Information you provide us. We collect information that you provide to Us through the Services and other communications. We may also collect information from entities you have requested or authorized to provide information to Us in connection with Our Services. For example:

·         When you create an account with Us, you provide your first and last name, email address, and password.

·         When you make a purchase, We may request information from you to facilitate the transaction and get you the goods you requested. We may ask you to provide payment information, which may include payment card information (such as credit card number, type, and expiration date), vision insurance plan information, billing address, and shipping address. We do not store any payment card information.

·         We may collect certain information from you when you apply for a job through Our Jobs page.

·         For certain online, App, and in-store features, We may ask you to submit (or We may ask your permission to take) a photo, facial scan, or other image of you.

·         When you contact Us, We do everything possible to make sure you have an exceptional shopping experience. If you contact Us in person, by phone (calling or texting), email, instant message (including Facebook Messenger), live chat, through social media or Our App, or by some other means, We may keep a record of your contact information and the content of the communication for later reference. When We send you emails, We may track whether you open them to learn how to deliver a better customer experience and improve Our Services. We receive responses to any survey that you choose to complete for Us.

Information We collect from third parties. Third parties, including your Eye Doctor, may share your information with Us in order for Us to provide Services or complete your purchase. For example:

·         Some parts of Our Services can be linked to other accounts you have with Third Party Services, such as your social media or Google account (“Third Party Accounts”), or you may be able to register for an account on Our Services with your Third Party Account. If you connect a Third Party Account to Our Services or interact with Us through a Third Party Account, We may receive information about you, including your Third Party Account profile information and your photo, and your use of the Third Party Account (for example, if you select a Demo-Optix product to purchase through the account). If you mention Us through your Third Party Account, We may collect publicly available information and content related to your comment.

·         We may collect information about you from other third parties, including demographic information. We may combine information collected from other third parties with other information We collect about you.

Information We automatically collect. We record certain information and store it in log files when you interact with Our Services. This information may include device information, browser history, internet protocol (IP) address, URLs of referring/exit pages, and search terms. For example:

·         We may collect information from your mobile device(s).

o    In-store Wi-Fi. When you connect to Our in-store Wi-Fi from your mobile device, We receive information about you and your device, including your device’s MAC address, IP address, received signal strength indicator (RSSI), and technical details about your device such as its operating system, device type (including make and model), and technical capabilities. We will also receive information about how you use Our Wi-Fi network while you are connected, including the store location, the areas of the store you visit, the names and/or Internet addresses of the websites you visit and the applications you use, and how long you interact with such sites or applications. If your mobile device is configured to search for available Wi-Fi networks, We may receive information about your device even if you choose not to connect to Our Wi-Fi services.

·         Like most websites, Our Services may incorporate technology such as “pixel tags”, “web beacons”, and “cookies” that allow Us and Our service providers to collect information about your actions on Our Services. Our service providers may collect information about your online activities over time and across different online services. Cookies (not to be confused with the sugary morsels) are small files that web servers may place on your computer when you visit a website.

·         We may also collect information when you are visiting Our stores. Like most retailers, We have in-store video surveillance for security, fraud, and loss prevention purposes. In addition, We analyze videos to help Us understand customer behavior and retail traffic within Our physical spaces.

4. How We Share Your Information

If We share your information, We do so to support Our business, including with:

Affiliates and Service Providers. We’ve figured out ways to do a lot of things on Our own, but We haven’t quite figured out how to do all of it. We may share information with Our corporate entities and affiliates, service providers, data processors, third party contractors, payment processors, others who perform services for Us, such as:

·         order fulfillment

·         delivery services

·         payment processing

·         vision insurance claim processing

·         account registration

·         website-related services, such as web hosting

·         improvement of website-related services and features

Other Entities. We may share information as part of a merger, acquisition, or other sale or transfer of all or part of Our assets or business or with other entities as you have authorized or requested.

With Marketing, Analytics, and Advertising Partners. Some of Our third-party advertising partners use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your online activities on Our Services and across other online services in order to deliver more relevant advertising when you are using the Services or other websites. Our service providers may also collect information about your mobile device from other tracking technologies while you are near or in Our stores to help Us better understand Our customers and how they use Our Services. These services may include Google Analytics and Adjust Technology.

With Your Eye Doctor and Dispensing Optician. We may share your information with your Eye Doctor so that they may provide you services, to confirm the prescription information you provide us, or if you’ve asked Us to obtain your prescription information from your Eye Doctor. At your request, We may also share your information with a dispensing optician.

With Your Vision Insurance Carrier. We may share your information with your vision insurance carrier so they can process your claim and so that We receive payment.

Social Media. We may include widgets, toolbars, or icons from social media providers on Our Services that allow you to interact or share information with them, and these social media networks may collect information about your browsing on the pages of Our Services. Such collection may occur where the widgets, toolbars, or icons are visible, even when you do not click on or otherwise activate the widgets, toolbars, or icons. The privacy policy of the relevant social media network controls the collection, use, and disclosure of all information collected by that social media network.

To Protect Us and Others. We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that We reasonably believe is necessary to comply with any applicable law, court order, subpoena, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; cooperate with law enforcement; enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, Our Terms of Use, and other agreements; detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Demo-Optix, Our employees, Our users, or others.

The third parties that receive your information are required to treat your Personal Information in accordance with appropriate contractual and legal privacy and security requirements and laws to ensure they provide adequate protection over your information. For example, where applicable, Demo-Optix has contractual agreements in place, such as with its service providers, to ensure that they provide the same or equal protection of your information as stated here.
