Vision Edge PRO’S COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
At Vision Edge PRO, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our customers. For that reason we have taken, and will continue to take, measures that protect the privacy of personal information held by us. This Privacy Statement provides you with details regarding: (1) why we collect personal information; (2) what we do with that information; (3) the steps we take to ensure that access to that information is secure; (4) how you can access personal information pertaining to you; and (5) who you should contact if you have questions or concerns about our policies or practices. Since we regularly review our policies and practices, your comments are always welcome. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Statement at any time; however, any changes or additions to Section 4 regarding the reasons we use personal information will not apply to you unless you consent to them. We will alert you that changes have been made by indicating at the top of the Privacy Statement the date that it was last updated. This Privacy Statement was last updated on Jan 1, 2018. There have been no other updates since this Privacy Statement came into effect on Jan 1, 2018. We encourage you to review our Privacy Statement to make sure that you understand how information that you provide will be used.
WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Personal information means information that would allow a specific individual to be identified or information that can be directly associated with an individual. For example, this includes your name, postal or e-mail address, telephone number, and demographic information. Personal information does not include aggregate information (data about a group or category of products, services or customers, from which individual customer identities have been removed). For example, information about how you use a service may be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Likewise, information about the products you purchase may be collected and combined with information about the products purchased by others. Aggregate information about product purchases helps us understand trends and customer needs, and assists us in product selection, product ordering and sizing and the introduction of new products and services. It can also assist us in new Web site functions by looking at website browsing activities.
WHEN WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
We only collect such personal information as is strictly necessary for the purposes outlined in Section 4. We collect personal information: (1) when you become a customer; (2) when you contact us; (3) when you use our Website; (4) when you participate in any of our programs; and (5) when you place orders or make purchases at our warehouse or on our website, by telephone, mail or facsimile. We may automatically collect some information when you visit our website, such as your computer’s network address, the site from which you linked to us, and the time and date of your visit. This information is not linked by us to personal information, but rather is only used to compile aggregate information. This information may be collected through the use of cookies (see our “On-line privacy practices” in Section 10 below).
HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
As part of our business operations, we hold and use certain personal information pertaining to you in order to process your requests, if you ask us to, to tell you about opportunities we think will be of interest to you, such as our promotional programs and to understand your needs so that we can serve you better. Specifically, we may use personal information for the following purposes:
WHEN WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION
From time to time we engage unaffiliated third parties to perform certain services. The companies that are provided with the personal information are first required to sign an agreement that obligates them to keep the information confidential and secure and prohibits them from using it for unauthorized purposes. Third party suppliers can only use the personal information that we share with them provided that they have your consent, to notify you of their offerings and to evaluate new and existing products, offerings or services. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these third parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their privacy and security practices and policies before disclosing information to them. There may be instances when we provide information relating to our business customers to various suppliers so they can conduct market studies and other promotional activities. We will also disclose personal information in accordance with Section 10 below when the information is collected on-line at macuhealth.com, or if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order legally authorizes us or requires us to do so or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Vision Edge PRO, its customers, employees or other members of the public. Except as set out above, we do not sell, rent, share or disclose the personal information to others for a fee without your consent.
Notifying you of recalls or safety issues;
Approving you as a customer;
Managing invoicing, accounting and information security services related to our transactions with you;
Monitoring your satisfaction with our programs, including the services offered by our sales and customer service team and contacting you regarding the status of such programs and services as described in our “Online privacy practices” in Section 10 below; and
Provide you with, promotions, offerings or marketing information on additional products, goods and services we offer.
HOW LONG DO WE HOLD PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Personal information is retained only for so long as is necessary for the purposes set out above. When no longer required, we will destroy, erase or de-personalize the personal information. Legal requirements may necessitate our retaining some or all of the personal information we hold for a period of time that is longer than we might otherwise hold it.
ACCURACY
To ensure that the personal information you provided is accurate, complete and up-to-date, we urge you to provide us with updates regarding such information and to inform us of any errors affecting the personal information we hold. You may update, review or correct your visionedgepro.com online account information at any time by accessing your password-protected registration page via the “My Account” area of the website.
SECURITY MEASURES
We will continue to keep in place security measures in an effort to protect personal information held by us from unauthorized use, access, disclosure, distribution, loss or alteration. We employ physical, administrative, contractual and technological safeguards to appropriately protect personal information. Access to personal information will be restricted to our authorized personnel who require the information in order to perform their duties properly. In addition, access will be limited to only that information that is strictly necessary for the performance of those duties. Please also see our “Online privacy practices” in Section 10 below. We periodically update our policies regarding information security measures in an effort to protect the personal information held by us in the most effective manner possible.
ACCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our customers are entitled to access the personal information held by us concerning them. In recognition of the importance we attach to each customer’s personal information, you can only access personal information we hold about you. You can access the personal information you provided to us by showing documentation to confirm your identity and completing a written request for such information on a form we provide. We will generally respond to your request for information within thirty (30) days, unless, for reasons beyond our control, a longer response time is necessary, in which case you will be advised accordingly. While our response will generally be provided at no cost, you will be informed in advance of any charges that apply in connection with the information request. Charges may relate to the transcription, reproduction or transmission of personal information held by us. Personal information may be stored by Vision Edge PRO at our distribution center in Phoenix, Arizona. In very limited circumstances, we may not be able to supply personal information for reasons of a legal nature, including privileged communications between professional and client or a pending judicial proceeding. In each case, we will provide written reasons outlining why your request for access has not been granted by us.
