When you fill in any of our forms, email us or speak to one of our staff we may ask you to provide personal and sensitive information.

Any other information you have voluntarily provided to us.
The above information is used to allow us to contact and/or identify you, as well as respond to your enquires, requests or complaints about our products or services as accurately as possible.
We may also collect some information that is not personal information because it does not identify you or anyone else. For example, we may collect anonymous answers to surveys or aggregated information about how users use websites we administer.

Theia Optical takes the security of your data very seriously and will take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information. However, there are times when we may need to disclose personal information to third parties.

- To anyone authorised by the individual to whom the personal information relates to.
If we are required to do so by law or subpoena, for the protection of our legal rights or to protect the security and integrity of our website, we may disclose your personal information. We may also disclose your personal information if we have reason to believe that disclosing account information is necessary to bring legal action upon someone who may be breaching our terms of use.
If under any circumstance we are involved in a merger or acquisition, your personal information may be handed over. Prior to this event happening we will provide you with notice before it becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
The security of your personal information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.

We advise that you review the terms of this policy periodically in order to be aware of how we collect, hold, store and use personal information. Please be assured that we will not disclose your personal details you have submitted to us under this privacy policy in a way that is inconsistent with this privacy policy without your prior consent.
