This California Resident Online Privacy Policy is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to, California residents.  This Policy contains disclosures required by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and applies only to “personal information” that is subject to the CCPA.  The CCPA defines “personal information” to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified or aggregated information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern. 

Much of the information that EyeMed collects is exempt from the CCPA because it is protected under other federal and/or state privacy laws.  For example, if you are a member of EyeMed, certain personal information about you is governed by HIPAA and is exempt from the CCPA.  Please see our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices for information about how we handle your personal information subject to HIPAA. 

If you are a California resident and a current or former employee, job applicant, or independent contractor of ours, please see our privacy notice available on our job applicant website(s) for more information on our collection and use of your Personal Information in that capacity.
