This CCPA Privacy Policy for California Residents (“CCPA Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) supplements the information contained in Bluetree EyeCares’ (“BEC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) online privacy notice at https://www.smilegeneration.com/privacy-policy/ and applies solely to consumers who are residents of the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). Terms used in this CCPA Privacy Policy, such as personal information, consumers, third party(ies) and service providers, have the same meaning as they are defined in the CCPA.

Please read this entire Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal information. The following points summarize some of the important details discussed below:

Under the CCPA, a California consumer has the right to request that BEC disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell. Note, however, that BEC does NOT sell personal information.
Under the CCPA, a California consumer also has the right to request that BEC delete the personal information we have collected from the consumer.
Not all of your personal information is subject to the CCPA.
