Privacy Policy Crosby Village Eyewear
Your privacy
At Crosby Village Eyewear we are committed to the highest privacy standards. However, you choose to interact with us, we will only collect data that is necessary for us to deliver the best possible service and ensure you are reminded about appointments or anything else relevant to your ongoing care. This policy provides detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it and the very limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others.
Collection of your Personal Information
In addition to your basic contact information (name, date of birth, telephone numbers and your addresses) we will collect other relevant details including your current and past health and medication information, your examination results, and lifestyle information. We may also store associated information received from other health care professionals as part of your ongoing care.
How we use this information
The information we collect about you is used to ensure we provide you with the best and most appropriate products and services. In addition to your ongoing eye care, we will remind you when appointments are due and suggest relevant products or services that we believe would be of interest. We use your contact information to respond to queries from you, and where appropriate your bank details to collect Direct Debit payments as agreed. We may occasionally contact you to ask for your feedback on services we have provided and to offer the opportunity to trial new products.
How and when we may share your Personal Information
Where necessary we may disclose your information to health care professionals including the NHS or national equivalent bodies. We may also pass information to external agencies and organisations, including the police or other law-enforcement agencies, for the prevention and detection of fraud and criminal activity. Should any claim be made or could be made, against us or other members of Crosby Village Eyewear, we may pass your personal information to our insurers. If we sell or buy any business or assets, we may reveal personal information about you to the prospective seller or buyer of that business or the assets. If we (or substantially all of our assets) are bought or taken over by another organisation (or there is a reorganisation within our corporate group), personal information we hold about customers will be one of the assets transferred. We may pass certain personal information to your employer, if you have been referred to us as a corporate eye-care customer. We may pass your personal information to others to keep to any legal obligation (including court orders), to enforce or apply our terms and conditions of use of website or in store or other agreements we have with you, or to protect our rights, property and safety or those of our customers, employees or others.
