Our Legal Duty
We are required by applicable law to maintain the privacy of your personal information. We are providing this Notice about our privacy practices, our legal duties, and your rights concerning your information.

We reserve the right to change our privacy practices and the terms of this Notice at any time, provided such changes are permitted by applicable law. We reserve the right to make the changes in our privacy practices and implement them immediately but will obtain your consent before using your information for a purpose not previously identified.

You may request a copy of our Notice at any time. For more information about our privacy practices, or for a copy of this Notice, please contact us using the information listed at the end of this Notice.

Information We Collect
We collect limited personal information to better serve your needs and identify you as a customer. This typically includes your name, address, telephone number and some date of birth information (to help distinguish between people with the same or similar names and addresses). If you are purchasing prescription eye wear, we collect related health and product information in order to properly prepare and deliver your eye wear and we maintain a record of the products and services that you have purchased from us. Your method of payment will also affect the information we collect so that we can properly process your payment.

Consent
We require the knowledge and consent of our customers for the collection, use or disclosure of their personal information, except where otherwise required or authorized by law. In some circumstances, where the information is required to fulfill the specified purposes, consent to collection, use or disclosure may be a condition of the supply of a product or service to the customer.

The form of consent we seek, and the manner of obtaining the consent will vary, depending upon the circumstances and the type of information. For example, in a LensCrafters setting where we are filling a prescription, we will require your express consent in the form of signing a Consent Log or other document. For non-prescription purchases, such as in a Sunglass Hut setting, we consider implied consent to be appropriate. Consent of any form can also be given by an authorized representative of a customer (such as a legal guardian or a person having power of attorney).

You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and providing reasonable notice. For an example of situations where consent may not be withdrawn, we are required by provincial laws and by professional rules to collect and maintain certain personal information about our customers.

You may opt out of our use of your name and address to send you information about our products and services and about our business, by making such a request at our store or by contacting the Privacy Office at the address listed below.
