Your Personal Information Contacts Online recognizes your right to
confidentiality and is committed to protecting your privacy and personal
information. Contacts Online will not sell, rent, loan or transfer any personal
information regarding our customers to any unrelated third parties. The
information you provide to us is held with the utmost care and security and will
not be used in any way to which you have not consented. We only use the
information that we collect on our website to provide you with a superior
service and shopping experience.
When you order your lenses, we will ask you for your name, address, email
address, credit card number and expiry date, and such other information which
may be required by us to process your order. If you do not wish to continue to
use our service at some point in the future, we will give you the opportunity to
be removed from our list.
Your Prescription Because Contacts Online cares about you and your
eyes, we are committed to comply with any Acts or Regulations that require us to
verify your prescription information with your eye doctor or Optometrist.
Contacts Online believes that its policies regarding contact lens
prescriptions and their verification are in compliance with the applicable laws
and regulations. We undertake not to release any eye prescription information in
connection with any patient identification other than to the patient, the
patient's authorized representative, or the prescribing or authorized
practitioner caring for the patient. Only at the direction of the patient, to
the extent specifically authorized by the law, will we release such information
to other persons.
