F. SECURITY OF INFORMATION

of EyePrescription and its affiliates who need it to fulfill their business
responsibilities. Employees must adhere to EyePrescription policies.
Employees violating these policies may be subject to disciplinary action, up
to and including dismissal and criminal prosecution. Vendors and other

ensure that sensitive personal information is safeguarded.
2. At EyePrescription security is a priority. We employ appropriate measures
to protect personally identifying information against unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration or destruction. These may include, among others,
encryption, physical access security, electronic and procedural safeguards,
and other appropriate procedures and technologies. EyePrescription
continually reviews and enhances its security systems, as necessary.
G. QUALITY OF INFORMATION
EyePrescription employs appropriate measures to assure the quality of
information we collect directly from You. Where information is collected by
EyePrescription directly from You or sources other than our business
customers, we permit them, if possible, to dispute or correct any erroneous
or out-of-date personally identifiable information. Of course, this
correction would not be possible if the information is proprietary to one of
our business customers, reflects historical transaction information, or if
correction would violate the privacy or legal rights of a third party. Where
applicable, we abide by laws related to such information. You can access
Your registration information by clicking on "My Account". You can correct
factual errors in Your personally identifying information by: (1) personally
making online changes to Your account information.

beneficial to You because they enable You to receive information about goods
or services that may be of interest to You. We strive to give You choices
about how Your data will be used. You have the right to opt-out of (direct
us not to make) these disclosures. Of course, there are some disclosures to
third parties that are not subject to the opt-out, as described in Section
D.2. above.
If You wish to opt out, simply do not register. You always have the right to
change Your mind. If You do not opt out, we’ll assume that You have agreed
that EyePrescription may disclose and use Your information in the manner
described earlier in this Privacy Statement.
