Geolocation

When you are viewing our Website on your mobile device or using one of our Apps, we may utilize location services on your mobile device to collect and use location data, including the real-time geographic location of your device. If you consent to the utilization of location services, we may use GPS, Bluetooth, your device’s unique identifier, and/or your IP Address, along with Wi-Fi and cell tower locations, and other technologies to determine your device’s geolocation. This location data is utilized to initiate notifications or deliver services requested or consented to by you. We maintain location data records for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it. We will collect geolocation data only if you consent, and we will notify you whether the location services will be always running or only when the App is in use. You may choose to disable location services, but if you do so, you will not receive any notifications or services that require a geolocation. Most mobile devices provide users with the ability to disable location services. These controls are generally located in the device’s settings menu. You can also contact your mobile service carrier or your device manufacturer for more information on disabling location services.

How We Share Your Information

In operating our Website and business, sometimes we share your information with others who help us with our business. Below are ways we may share information collected from or about you with third parties:

• With service providers, sellers, and partners:
  • We share information about you with service providers to perform functions and process your data and to help provide our services including hosting and storage providers, payment processors etc.
  • Because we can’t do everything ourselves, we share your information with those third parties we hire to do things for us. Here are a couple of examples: we share your delivery information with our service providers so that they can deliver your orders to you. Our Virtual Try On is powered by our third party service provider, DITTO, which provides the technology for us to offer that service. We share the information collected from that service with DITTO, but only so that it can provide the Virtual Try On service. We engage service providers to help us understand, analyze, and improve your experience on our Website.
• With third parties for legal or security reasons:
  • We may share information about you if we reasonably believe that disclosing the information is needed to:
  • comply with any valid legal process, governmental request, or applicable law, rule, or regulation.
  • investigate, remedy, or enforce potential violations of our Terms of Use of Privacy Policy
  • protect the rights, property, and safety of us, our users, or others.
  • Detect and resolve any fraud or security concerns.
• With third parties as part of an acquisition or liquidation:
  • We are involved in a merger, asset sale, financing, corporate divestiture, reorganization, or acquisition of all or some portion of our business to another company or if we undergo liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, we may share your information in connection with such transaction or proceeding before and or after the transaction closes or the proceedings are completed.
• With your consent. We may share information in other ways if you give us consent or direct us to do so.
• We do not share personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

How we protect your information

The security of your Personal Information is of paramount importance to Liingo Eyewear.

Cookies (yum), Beacons, Pixels, etc.

Our hope is that one day we’ll be able to give real, freshly baked cookies to every user of our Website.

Users can control the use of most cookies in their browser settings. If you disable the use of cookies, you will no longer be able to purchase from Liingo Eyewear.

Third parties may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use the website. The information they collect may be associated with your Personal Information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services

We may use third-party service providers that collect information about users over time and across different websites in order to serve advertisements on our behalf that are more targeted and relevant to your interests. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly, such as by clicking on the "Ad Choices" icon in or around the advertisement. Some of these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used for targeted advertising. For example, some of these companies are members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") or the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"), which each provide a single location where you can opt out of certain types of data collection and use or out of receiving targeted ads from member companies. To exercise your choices, please visit the NAI's website at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp or the DAA's website at youradchoices.com.

They may collect information about how you use our Website, services, and other websites and online services over time and across different sites and services or allow us to observe how you use and interact with our Website and services. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, better understand your activity on our Website and online activity, and or improve our products and services.

How We Use Google Analytics

We work with service providers (including Google Analytics) who conduct analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google that uses cookies to help us analyze how users use our Sites. The information generated by the cookies about your use of the services will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If you access our Site through different devices, Google may associate your devices with one another. Google has developed the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js). You can prevent Google’s collection and use of the data it collects as defined in its policy by downloading and installing this browser plug-in: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.

How We Use Hotjar

We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices (in particular device's IP address (captured and stored only in anonymized form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), preferred language used to display our website). Hotjar stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile (that means that your name is not associated with the profile). Neither Hotjar nor we will ever use this information to identify individual users or to match it with further data on an individual user. For further details, please see Hotjar’s privacy policy by clicking on this link.

You can opt-out to the creation of a user profile, Hotjar’s storing of data about your usage of our site and Hotjar’s use of tracking cookies on other websites by following this opt-out link.

Your access to and choices about your information

If you want to know what information we have about you, please call or email us at the contact information below. If you need to update, delete, change, or exercise any choice over the information we have about you, you can also do that by contacting us. If you want to do it yourself, however, you can make changes to some of the information stored in your account, such as name, address information, prescription information, email preferences, login information, etc. by logging into your account and making changes directly. To protect your privacy, before we give you access or let you update your information, we may ask you to verify your identity or provide additional information. We will try to update and allow you to access your information for free, but if it would require a disproportionate effort on our part, we may charge a fee. We will disclose the fee before we comply with your request. We may reject a request for a number of reasons, including, for example, that the request risks the privacy of other users, requires technical efforts that are disproportionate to the request, is repetitive, or is unlawful.

Browser Do Not Track

Our Website does not respond to web browser “Do not track” signals at this time. Do Not Track is a privacy preference you can set in your web browser to indicate that you do not want certain information about your web page visits tracked and collected across websites. For more details about Do Not Track, you can visit www.donottrack.us.

DITTO - Virtual Try On

How Virtual Try on (powered by DITTO) Works: If you want to see what our glasses look like on your wonderful face, our DITTO service allows you to do that. You need a webcam or a mobile phone in order to take an image of your face. Basically, we scan an image of your face and its unique proportions, and an image is created of you, which we call a “DITTO,” that is used to put images of our glasses on. To use the tool, you must first consent to an image of your face being collected with your webcam and to our Biometric Terms.

If you want to create a DITTO, we collect your image and the measurements of your face and its proportions, and we collect some other basic identifying information you provide to us.

How We Use Your DITTO Image: Using your DITTO, we can show you how different styles of eyeglasses will look on your face and recommend additional styles through our website, periodic emails and direct communications to you. We may use non-identifiable information from your DITTO to improve our internal virtual fitting technology.

How Long We Keep Your Ditto: Your DITTO is kept so that you can use it periodically to try on new glasses. It is our policy, however, to retain your DITTO no longer than three (3) years after your last interaction with us. When that time period has elapsed, we permanently destroy your DITTO.

How we will let you know about changes to this Privacy Policy

Every so often we may update or make changes to this policy. We will let you know about material changes by indicating that the Privacy Policy has been updated on our homepage and will indicate the date we made the update by changing the Effective Date above. If you keep using the Website after we make changes to the Privacy Policy, that means that you are good with those changes and accept them. So, please make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not wish to continue using the Website under the new version of the Privacy Policy, please stop using our Website.
