HOW WE USE AND SHARE
YOUR INFORMATION.

To Provide Products,
Services, and Information:

As described above, we
collect information from you, including to provide you with products and
services that you purchase or access using the Site, and information that you
request from us. We may use your personal information to contact you about your
vision tests and/or screenings or to schedule appointments or follow-up
services through the Site, process credit card / debit card transactions, and
ship products to you.

For example, as part of
the process for completing a vision test and/or screening, we may ask you for
information including your name, age, ethnicity and medical history. We will
use this information to provide the vision test and/or screening services to
you, to improve the technology we use as part of the screening process, and to
tailor the advertising that appears on the Site. We will not sell or rent
patient information to third parties. Likewise, we may ask you for your credit
card information when you set up an account and/or take a vision test and/or
screening via the Site. We will use this information for payment purposes.

Additionally, we may
send you information about our products and services, and new offerings,
including through newsletters, promotional communications and other forms of
advertising and marketing. We may occasionally use your information to
administer surveys on the Site, provide sweepstakes, promotions and/or contests
you can enter or participate in. We may provide information to third party
service providers and/or our business partners (including ophthalmologists,
optometrists and opticians) that help us administer vision tests, screenings
and similar services, process orders, and fulfill and deliver products and
services that you purchase from us, or to facilitate your purchase of goods or
services from them.

If you are a physician
or other healthcare professional (including optometrists and opticians), we may
request certain information – including your name, business address, and
telephone and other information about your medical practice – so that we can
share it with users who have requested additional services related to their
vision test, screening and/or other similar service through the Site.

To Affiliates, Service
Provers and Business Partners:

We may share your
personal information with our related entity affiliates, our employees, and our
trusted business partners for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

We may use third party
service providers to help operate the Site and our business, including to help
host our Site, send out email updates about the Site, provide administrative
services for us, remove repetitive information from our user lists, and process
payments. These service providers will have access to your personal information
in order to provide these services, but when this occurs we implement
reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that
information to helping us provide the service. We may use demographic
information to better understand our customers, and improve our products and services.

Advertising and Marketing:

We may use how you
browse, interact with the Site and shop in order to show you ads for Visibly or
our advertising partners that are more relevant to your interests. We may use
cookies and other information to provide relevant interest-based advertising to
you. Interest-based ads are ads tailored to your interests based on your
browsing behavior and the information you provide to us via the Site. These
interest-based ads may be presented to you while you are browsing our Site or
third-party sites not owned by Visibly.

We belong to ad
networks that may use your browsing history across participating websites to
show you interest-based advertisements on those websites. You can opt-out of
receiving interest-based ads from us by contacting us at privacy@govisibly.com.
Please note that if you choose to opt out, you will continue to see ads on our
Site, but they will not be based on how you browse and shop.

Some websites may
belong to ad networks that use your browsing history across websites to choose
which ads to display on their sites; the displayed ads may include advertising
for Visibly. To learn more, and to opt out of seeing interest-based
advertisements on these sites, visit the Network Advertising Initiative and the
Digital Advertising Alliance websites (
www.networkadvertising.org and www.aboutads.info). Websites may
also offer their own opt-out methods for interest-based advertising.

Third Party Advertising
and Marketing

From time to time with
your written consent, we may disclose information with companies who may offer
you products and services of interest.

Your Consent

By accessing or using
the Site, you consent to the sharing of your personal information as described
in this Privacy Policy. In addition to the sharing described elsewhere in this
Policy, we will share personal information with companies, organizations or
individuals outside of Visibly when we have your consent to do so. We require
your written consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information
and/or your medical information. Sensitive personal information is a particular
category of personal information relating to confidential medical facts, racial
or ethnic origins, political or religious beliefs or sexuality.

Your individual
provider may have an additional individual Notice of Privacy Practices for
Eyecarelive proviers, and you acknowledge receipt of that Notice of Privacy
Practices. 

If you are using our
Service on behalf of an individual other than yourself, you represent that you
are authorized by such individual to accept this Privacy Policy and the
Provider’s Notice of Privacy Practices on such individual’s behalf.

Legal Requests or
Requirements and to Prevent Harm.

We will share personal
information with third party companies, organizations or individuals outside of
Visibly if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or
disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

     Meet any
applicable law, regulation, subpoena, legal process or enforceable governmental
request.

     Enforce
applicable Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations.

     Detect,
prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

     Protect against
harm to the rights, property or safety of Visibly, our users, customers or the

If the ownership of all
or substantially all of our business changes or we otherwise transfer assets
relating to our business or the Site to a third party, such as by merger,
acquisition, bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, we may transfer or sell your
personal information to the new owner. In such a case, unless permitted
otherwise by applicable law, your information would remain subject to the
promises made in the applicable privacy policy unless you agree differently.

ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION
AND CHOICES

If you have questions
about personal information we have about you or need to update your
information, or wish to unsubscribe, you can email us at privacy@govisibly.com

SECURITY OF YOUR
INFORMATION

In order to help secure
your personal information, access to your data on our Site is
password-protected, and sensitive data (such as a social security number) is
protected by encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and our
Site. To protect any data you store on our servers, we also regularly audit our
system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, because the Internet
is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot guarantee, ensure, or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us. There is no guarantee that
information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of
any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. It is your
responsibility to protect the security of your login information. Please note
that e-mails and other communications you send to us through our Site are not
encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential
information (including medical histories or financial information) through
these means.

SMS/MMS MOBILE MESSAGE
MARKETING PROGRAM (INCLUDING CART REMINDERS)

We respect your
privacy. We will only use information you provide through the SMS Text Program
(“the Program”) to transmit your mobile messages and respond to you, if
necessary. This includes, but is not limited to, sharing information with
platform providers, phone companies, and other vendors who assist us in the
delivery of mobile messages. WE DO NOT SELL, RENT, LOAN, TRADE, LEASE, OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFER FOR PROFIT ANY PHONE NUMBERS OR CUSTOMER INFORMATION COLLECTED
THROUGH THE PROGRAM TO ANY THIRD PARTY. Nonetheless, We reserve the right at
all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law,
regulation or governmental request, to avoid liability, or to protect Our
rights or property. When you complete forms online or otherwise provide Us
information in connection with the Program, you agree to provide accurate,
complete, and true information. You agree not to use a false or misleading name
or a name that you are not authorized to use. If, in Our sole discretion, We
believe that any such information is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or you
have opted into the Program for an ulterior purpose, We may refuse you access
to the Program and pursue any appropriate legal remedies.

Text Marketing and notifications
(if applicable): By entering your phone number in the checkout and initializing
a purchase, you agree that we may send you text notifications (for your order,
including abandoned cart reminders) and text marketing offers. Text message
frequency may vary. You can unsubscribe from further text messages by replying
STOP. Message and data rates may apply. In addition, the Site uses cookies to
help keep track of items you put in your shopping cart and to tell us if you
have visited the Site in the past. This allows visitors to the online store to
maintain shopping carts between visits. You can refuse cookies by turning them
off in your browser.

This section of the
Privacy Policy is strictly limited to the Program and has no effect on any
other privacy policy(ies) that may govern the relationship between you and Us
in other contexts.

If Visibly is acquired
or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new
owners so that we may continue to sell products to you.

“Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide personal information in
obtaining products or services for personal, family or household use are
entitled to request and obtain from us once a calendar year information about
the customer information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own
direct marketing uses. If applicable, this information would include the
categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those
businesses with which we shared customer information for the immediately prior
calendar year (e.g. requests made in 2012 will receive information regarding
2011 sharing activities).

To obtain this
information, please send an email message to info@govisibly.com with “Request
for California Privacy Information” in the subject line and in the body of your
message. We will provide the requested information to you at your e-mail
address in response. Please be aware that not all information sharing is
covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only information on covered
sharing will be included in our response.

Business and Professions Code, California residents under the age of eighteen
(18) have a right to remove content or information they have personally posted
to the Site. If applicable to you, you can request the removal of content or
information you have posted to the Site by sending an email message to

subject line and in the body of your message, and a specific description of the
content that you posted to the Site that you would like us to remove. Please
understand that under California law, your request will not ensure the complete
removal of the content from the Site. For example, the content may continue to
appear on the Site to the extent content has been reposted by others,
independently posted by a third party, was posted by you anonymously, or if you
were compensated for providing the content. Additionally, while we will remove
the content you posted from the Site, it may continue to be stored on our
servers (although it will not be visible to other users of the Site).

applicable law, we may use aggregated and anonymized information created by us

planning, or product and service development.
