While we implement these security measures on our Sites, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.
We may enable you to navigate to third-party websites through links on our Sites. We do this for your convenience. If it is not one of our Sites, we do not endorse, may not have any affiliation with, do not control and aren't responsible for those third-party websites and/or their Internet and web practices. Whether the third-party content appears within our Site environment (like a map frame), or you leave our Site for another website to view it, the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of those other websites govern your online experience. Please review their terms of service and privacy policies if you have any question about their practices.
6. Will this Privacy Policy change?
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it periodically. We will update the effective date of the Privacy Policy at the time a change is made.
7. How do you handle biometric information?
We provide a virtual try-on tool for your convenience. The virtual try-on tool uses augmented reality technology to allow you to “try on” certain of our products, such as sunglasses, virtually, in order to get an idea of what the product would look like on your face in real life. We do not store any biometric information when you use the virtual try-on tool.
The virtual try-on tool functions in real-time on your device. The tool works by processing the image you upload through your webcam by utilizing an AI algorithm to identify the position of different key features on the image of your face—such as your eyes, ears, and nose. The algorithm then positions a box over the image of your face, allowing the application to position a digital image of the selected eyewear product on top of the image of your face to make it appear as if you are wearing the selected eyewear product.
During your virtual try-on session, no information or data relating to your face are sent to or from any external servers. The virtual try-on tool does not store, obtain, or transmit any retinal scans, facial geometry, or other biometric data externally, and does not have the ability to store, obtain, or transmit any retinal scans, facial geometry, or biometric data externally. The process of applying selected eyewear products on top of your face is all completed locally on your browser session, with no collection, preservation, storage, or transmittal of any facial data outside of your browser.
