Our
Privacy and Security Promise To You
Your satisfaction with this site is important
to us. Assuring the privacy and security of all the information you share
with us on this site as an important part of that satisfaction. We want to
be open and clear with regard to how we handle your personal information.
Find our policies listed below. If you have any questions regarding these
policies, we invite you to email us at
privacy@vision-health.net .
This policy addresses the information we collect, how we use it and how we
protect it.
- PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION
Vision-Health.net uses a secure server. The secure server software (SSL)
encrypts ALL the information you provide us including your name, address
and credit card number before it is sent to us so that it cannot be read
as it travels to us over the Internet. Once we receive it, all of the
customer information we collect is protected against unauthorized access.
Although we intend to take all reasonable steps to prevent the
introduction of viruses and other destructive materials or hackers, we
cannot and do not guarantee or warrant that this Website or materials that
may be downloaded from this Website do not contain such destructive
features. We are not liable for any damages or harm attributable to any of
the foregoing. Because of our comprehensive policies on privacy and
security, Vision-Health.net has been given the following seals of
approval:
- MAKING PURCHASES WITH YOUR CREDIT
CARD
When you order products on the site, we need to know your name, email
address, mailing address, credit card number and expiration date. This
allows us to fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status.
Again, all of this information is encrypted before it travels over the
Internet for your protection and security.
- DON'T WANT TO USE YOUR CREDIT
CARD ON THE INTERNET? No problem. Just call the
customer service center at 604-303-6770.
- USE OF COOKIES
A cookie is a small text file used by
Vision-Health.net to identify you.
Cookies sometimes receive an undeserved negative reputation because they
are used to identify site visitors. In fact, Cookies are safe - they
cannot deliver computer viruses to your computer and other computer
servers cannot read them, personal information cannot be obtained by other
computers. Cookies tell us it is you whenever you return to our site so we
can recall what information you have provided us in terms of what you like
and want to do on our site. We use Cookies to personalize your site visits
and also to authenticate that visitors coming from other distributor sites
are recognized as being customers of a specific distributor. Cookies are
just a unique identifier shared between you and us - we do not share them
with anyone else.
