3. HOW INFORMATION IS USED, SHARED AND DISCLOSED
VISION does not sell, and generally does not disclose, your Personal Information to third-parties without your consent. Except as set forth in Section 10 of this Privacy Policy, parents have the right to consent to collection and use of personal information from their child without also consenting to its disclosure to third-parties, as VISION does not share information that may be collected from your child. VISION uses Personal, Non-Personal and Financial Information, among other things, to monitor system performance, analyze internal business systems, improve the VISION Services, fulfill requests for additional products and services, contact you about promotional and marketing activities, provide customer support, and conduct research. The use and protection of information is an important component of VISION’s business. Examples of how VISION shares and discloses your information is as follows:
Legal. VISION may disclose information you provide to respond to subpoenas, court orders, requests from authorities, and other legal process, and to establish/exercise VISION’s legal rights. VISION may also disclose your information to defend against legal claims when VISION believes that disclosure is necessary to protect VISION’s rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request. VISION may share Personal Information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, and situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of VISION’s Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.
Business Transfers. As VISION continues to develop its business, VISION may reorganize as a business entity, acquire entities, subsidiaries, or business units, or enter into joint ventures with third-parties. In any of these types of transactions, any information you provide may be one of the transferred business assets (subject to any pre-existing privacy notice unless you consent otherwise). In the event that all or substantially all of VISION’s assets are acquired or VISION merges with a third-party, your information will likely be one of the transferred assets. You understand and agree that VISION reserves the right to transfer any information collected from you in the case of any such transfer. In such event, VISION will use reasonable efforts to notify you before Personal Information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control. VISION may use third-party companies and individuals to perform functions on VISION’s behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, processing payments, hosting, data storage, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. VISION will provide such entities with access to certain information needed to perform their functions, but will take measures to ensure that they may not use it for other purposes. VISION shares information only as described above and with third-parties that are either subject to this Privacy Policy or to a privacy policy that is at least as protective as this Privacy Policy.
4. SECURITY
The security of your Personal Information is important to VISION. VISION follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to VISION, both during transmission and once it is received. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, VISION cannot guarantee its absolute security. While no security system is completely secure, VISION and its third-party partners and vendors take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access or disclosure of the information collected by VISION. For VISION, this includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that all Personal and Financial Information is disclosed only on a “need to know” basis and ensuring that all Personal Information collected by VISION is done so via secured connections and protected and encrypted (using secure socket layer technology,”SSL”) by industrial grade security software to guard against unauthorized access.
5. ADVERTISING
VISION partners with third parties to display advertising throughout the Services or to manage its advertising on other sites. Our third party partner may use cookies or similar technologies in order to provide you with advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests if you are older than 13, and contextual advertising if you are younger than 13. Please note you will continue to receive generic ads.
6. SOCIAL MEDIA FEATURES AND TOOLS
The VISION Services may include integrated social media features and tools, such as the Facebook “Like” button, the YouTube “Share This” button, and interactive mini-programs that run in the VISION Services. These Features may collect information on your IP address, which page you are visiting on VISION’s site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social media features and tools are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on the VISION Services. Your interactions with these integrated social media features and tools are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
7. GOOGLE+ OR OTHER OPENID PROVIDER
You may be able to log in to some of VISION’s mobile applications using sign-in services such as Google+ or an Open ID provider. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with VISION such as your name and email address to pre-populate VISION’s sign up form. Services like Google+ give you the option to post information about your activities on the VISION website to your profile page to share with others within your network.
8. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
The VISION Services contain links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by VISION. Please be aware that VISION is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.

This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by the VISION Services.
9. ACCESS/DATA RETENTION
VISION will retain you and your child’s information for as long as you or your child’s account is active, or as needed to provide services. If you wish to cancel your child’s account or request that VISION no longer use the information to provide services, contact VISION at the email address listed above. VISION will retain and use the information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
5. 10. SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING CHILDREN
Information Collected. VISION does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent, except as permitted under COPPA. For example, VISION, and third parties acting on its behalf, collect IP addresses and other persistent identifiers from children under the age of 13 to support internal operations for the Services, including but not limited to, analytics and to serve contextual advertising to children.
11. CONDITIONS OF USE/CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
VISION may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to information practices. If VISION makes any material changes, VISION will notify you by email if you have provided an email address to VISION or by means of a notice on VISION’s Services, prior to the change becoming effective. VISION encourages you to periodically review this page for the latest information on its privacy practices. If VISION makes material changes to how Personal Information collected from children under age 13 is used, VISION will notify parents by email in order to obtain verifiable parental consent or, if VISION does not have such emails to contact parents directly, by reasonable means on VISION’s website for the new uses of the child’s Personal Information.
