If you do not want us to deploy cookies in your browser, you may exercise your preference by clicking “Your Privacy Rights” in the footer, by clicking here or by modifying your web browser setting to refuse some or all cookies or to notify you and ask for your permission when a website tries to set a cookie.

If you block or delete technical and/or function cookies used by our Sites, the Sites may become impossible to browse, certain services or functions of the Sites may become unavailable or other malfunctions may occur. In this case, you may have to modify or manually enter some information or preferences every time you visit the Sites.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google LLC (“Google”) that tracks and reports website traffic. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provides visitors with the ability to prevent their data from being collected and used by Google Analytics, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

    7. Managing Interest-Based Advertising
    8. Website Browser. Many advertising companies that collect information for interest-based advertising are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), both of which maintain websites where people can opt out of interest-based advertising from their members. To opt out of website interest-based advertising provided by each organization’s respective participating companies, visit the DAA’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.aboutads.info/, or visit the NAI’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1. Residents of the European Union may opt-out of online behavioral advertising served by the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s participating member organizations by visiting https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.

      Mobile Application. When you use our mobile application, we or our third-party marketing partners may use one or more of several different identifiers for your mobile device, including Apple Identifier For Advertising (IDFA) or Android Advertising ID (AAID), to target and deliver ads to you in our app or other apps. This means that your device identifier may be accessed by third-party ad networks and used to (a) help manage the number and types of ads you see; (b) track the source of installs related to ads seen in other apps; and (c) identify your interests and behavior and target advertising to you based on those interests and behavior.

      Apple requires app developers to ask for permission before they can track your activity across apps or websites they do not own in order to target advertising to you, measure your actions due to advertising, or to share your information with data brokers. If you previously gave our mobile app permission to track, you can tell our app to stop tracking your activity. On iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings, tap on our app, then tap to turn off Allow Tracking. You can also reset your IDFA from your mobile device’s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to your previous IDFA.

      If you have an Android device, and are running Android 12 or above, you can delete your AAID permanently by opening Settings, navigating to Privacy > Ads, tapping “Delete advertising ID,” then tapping it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future. Please note that if you do so, you will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your inferred interests.

      You may also access industry-provided opt-out tools, although they are not tailored to our mobile applications. For instance, to opt-out of data collection by the Digital Advertising Alliance’s participating member companies for interest-based advertising across mobile applications, download the DAA’s App Choices mobile application opt-out offering at https://youradchoices.com/appchoices.

Please note California and Colorado residents may do so up to twice per year per customer. We may charge a reasonable fee for multiple requests in the same 12-month period, as permitted by law.

    To protect your privacy, we must be able to verify your identity to confirm that the request came from you before we can process your request to exercise any of the privacy rights that you may be entitled to under the applicable law. We may contact you by phone or e-mail to verify your request. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name, an e-mail address that you have used with Zenni, or a phone number you have used with Zenni. For certain requests, we may also ask you to provide details about the most recent purchase you made online.

    Residents of California, Colorado, and Connecticut may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf to access or delete your personal information. To do so, you must: (1) provide that authorized agent written and signed permission to submit such request; and (2) verify your own identity directly with us. Please note, we may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

    C. Your Opt-Out Rights

    If you reside in California, Colorado, Connecticut or Virginia, you may have the right to opt-out of certain types of processing for your personal information.

    1. Right to Opt Out of Sale. You may have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. We generally do not sell your personal information for profit, but like many businesses, we use cookies, pixels, and similar technology on our Sites, and we share certain personal information, such as your IP address or device identifiers, to third-party advertisers in order to improve your user experience and to optimize our marketing activities. Under the broad definition of “sell” contained in some jurisdiction’s privacy laws, this could be considered a sale.

    2. Right to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising. You may have the right to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information to third parties for behavioral or cross-contextual advertising purposes. Like many websites, we use cookies, pixels, and similar technology, and we share certain information, such as your IP address or device identifiers, to certain third-party advertisers in order to improve your user experience and to optimize our marketing activities. You have the right to direct us not to share or use your personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

    To exercise your right to opt-out of sales and targeted advertising, please click the “Your Privacy Rights” link in the website footer and switch off the toggle for “Opt Out of Sale/Sharing/Targeted Advertising.” Please note that you may still receive generalized ads after opting out of targeted advertising.

    If you are a resident of California or Colorado, you may also opt-out of sharing and sales by using an opt-out preference signal. The Global Privacy Control signal is currently the only opt-out preference signal we can recognize. You can visit the Global Privacy Control official site at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/#about to learn how to configure your device to send such signals. We will honor and process the opt-out preference signal in a frictionless manner. Please note that the opt-out choice will only apply to your use of our Sites through the current browser or device you are using and only so long as that browser’s cookies are not erased. You will need to submit a separate opt-out of sharing request on each device and browser you use to visit our Sites to completely opt-out using this method. Please note that you may still receive generalized ads after opting out of targeted advertising.

  8. CHILDREN

    Our Site is not intended for children under age 16. We do not knowingly collect or distribute personal information that we collect directly from children under the age of 16. When parents or legal guardians of children under 16 place orders for children’s glasses through our Services, we may collect prescription information for children under the age of 16, and other information as necessary to deliver Zenni products. We will use this prescription information and related information collected in the course of fulfilling that order only for fulfilling the applicable order, and only within the limits permitted by applicable law.

    If you are a parent or guardian and wish to review information collected from your child, or have that information modified or deleted, you may contact us via the method identified in the “How to Contact Us” section below. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will terminate the user’s access to our Service and take steps to delete such information from our systems, unless we have a legal obligation to keep it.

  9. RETENTION

    We will retain your information for as long as your account is active, as needed to provide you Services or for other purposes stated in this Policy. We will cease to retain your personal information or remove the means by which the personal information can be associated with you as soon as it is reasonable to assume that such retention no longer serves the purpose for which the personal information was collected and is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services, we may still retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

  10. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

    We implement security measures intended to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the personal information under our control. Please be aware that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the databases of the third parties with which we may share such information, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet. Please remember that you play a valuable part in security as well. If you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised, you should contact us immediately as described in the “How to Contact Us” section.

  11. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

    We are an online retailer of prescription glasses, based in the United States. Our business operates on a global scale. When you access or submit information to us, your personal information may be transferred to, processed, maintained, and used on computers, servers and systems located where the data protection laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. In addition, we may transfer your personal information to our service providers located in China to fulfill orders you place through the Services. We will take appropriate contractual or other steps to protect the relevant personal information in accordance with applicable laws.

  12. NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVE

    We offer our customers loyalty programs (Zenni Loyalty Rewards Program, Military, First Responder & Medical or Nurse Personnel, Student and Teacher Discount Programs, and Refer a Friend Program) that provides certain perks, such as rewards and special promotions. We may also provide other programs, such as sweepstakes, contests, newsletters, or other similar promotional campaigns (collectively, the “Programs”). When you sign up for one of our Programs, we will ask you to provide your name and contact information (such as email address and/or telephone number). Because our Programs involve the collection of personal information, they might be interpreted as a “financial incentive” program under California law. The value of your personal information to us is related to the value of the free or discounted products or services, or other benefits that you obtain or that are provided as part of the Program.

    You may withdraw from participating in a Program at any time by contacting us using the designated method set forth in the applicable Program terms. Visit the terms and conditions page of each Program to view full details, including how to join.

    In addition to the CCPA, California's "Shine the Light" law, Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California residents asking about the businesses' practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. Alternately, such businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose personal information of customers to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes if a California customer has exercised an option to opt out of such information sharing. We have such a policy. If you want to opt out of any such sharing of your information, please contact us using the information below.

    Do Not Track

    Your browser may allow you to adjust your browser settings so that “do not track” requests are sent to the websites that you visit.
