At NineOptic, we care as much about your privacy as you do and we believe that you have a right to know what information we collect from you, as well as how we protect your privacy. We’ve created this Privacy Policy to let you know what to expect when you interact with us. This Privacy Policy applies to your, and all other users, use of our websites, website features, mobile applications (each, an “App”) and any in-person interactions (together, our websites, Apps and in-person interactions are referred to as the “Services”).
We NineOptic only permit individuals who are at least 12 years old and can form legally binding contracts with us to use the Services. However, if you are under 12 years old and would like to use the Services, you may, but only if a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years old supervises you. In such cases, the adult would be the user and is responsible for any and all activity. If you create an account, make a purchase, provide information about, or otherwise use the Services on behalf of, or in conjunction with, a minor child, you represent and warrant that you are the child’s parent, or legal guardian and have the authority to act on his or her behalf and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to such minor child as well.
Your use of the Services is subject to our Terms of Use By using our Services, you agree to the collection, use, disclosure, and procedures this Privacy Policy describes. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to third party websites (“Third Party Services”), such as social media, Stripe and fraud prevention services, that we do not own or control, even if you access them through our Services. We try to work only with Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy, but we cannot take responsibility for their practices, content, or privacy policies. 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.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at [email protected]
1. Children’s Information
We are especially sensitive about children’s information. We do not offer child directed Services. However, we expect that parents, or legal guardians of minor children would use the Services together for the purpose of purchasing eyeglasses for children. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a minor child, you may use our Services on behalf of, or in conjunction with, a minor child. By using the Services and providing a child’s personal information, a parent or legal guardian of a minor child is knowingly consenting to the collection of a child’s personal information by us.
