The Specifics
Our Services
We may collect personally identifiable information such as a username and email address when you register an account for personal/home use. Clinics using Vivid Vision may be asked to provide name, email address, physical address, and payment information. In addition, clinics will create a unique username and account that is associated with a date of birth and information about the patient’s binocular vision status, such as the presence or absence of amblyopia and strabismus or other visual disorders. This information allows your clinician to create a treatment or testing plan unique to each patient.
Some of our Services may collect various types of anonymous and non-personally identifiable information, including device details and configuration, location data, head and/or body movements, IP address, and software logs and crash reports for all laptops, personal computers (PCs), mobile devices, and head mounted displays that access and use the software application. This information is important for optimizing our Services.
Our software application relies on third-party applications, such as Oculus and Steam VR, to deliver components of our Services to you. These applications are separate from Vivid Vision, however our software may communicate with these applications. You access these applications and their associated websites at your own risk; by accessing them you leave our website. These third-party applications are not under our control and we are not responsible for the contents of any application or website, including the game content, privacy policies, or tracking technologies they may use. We encourage you to check the applicable privacy policy to determine how they will handle any personal information they collect from you.

All PII is contained behind a secure network and is only accessible by a limited number of individuals with access rights to such information.

At any time, you can contact us to withdraw consent.
Vivid Vision has never been requested by a federal agency to disclose any of its customer's private information. Please note that in rare cases we may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

EU-U.S., UK Extension, & Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework
Vivid Vision complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. See more at by visiting the CalOPPA website here: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf.
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
- Users can visit our website anonymously
- Once our privacy policy is created, it will be available as a link on our homepage

- Users of our website or application will be notified of any changes to our privacy policy:
- On our privacy policy page

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
We honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
Do our websites allow third-party behavioral tracking?
We use the following tools to help us better understand web traffic and traffic patterns to better serve our customers:
- Google Analytics
- Facebook Analytics
Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not market to children under the age of 13 years old.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur, we will notify users via in-site notification within 7 business days.
CAN-SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. We collect your email address in order to:
- Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
- Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to registered parties after the original transaction has occurred.
