We operate an eyewear discovery and recommendation website that brings together information about eyewear brands, frame styles, materials, product characteristics and related topics. Our aim is to make it easier for visitors to explore different options and make more informed choices.

We respect your privacy and aim to collect only the information that is reasonably needed to operate the website, respond to enquiries, understand how the website is used and improve the experience.

This policy explains what information we may collect, why we collect it and the choices available to you.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through the contact form unless it is specifically requested and necessary for your enquiry.

When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website or by services used to operate it.

This may include:

3. How We Use Information

We may use information for the following purposes:

To operate the website

We use technical information to help the website load correctly, maintain functionality and provide a consistent experience across different devices.

To respond to enquiries

If you contact us, we use the information you provide to understand and respond to your message.

To improve the website

We may use aggregated or technical website information to understand which pages, guides, categories and features are useful to visitors.

This helps us improve the structure, content and usability of the website.

To maintain website security

Technical information may be used to identify unusual activity, prevent misuse and protect the website and its visitors.

To understand website performance

Where analytics tools are used, information about website visits and interactions may help us understand how visitors use the website and where improvements can be made.

4. Our Approach to Eyewear Information

Our website contains information about eyewear brands, products, frame styles, materials and related characteristics.

Some information may come from publicly available brand information, product specifications, manufacturer information, customer feedback, research and other relevant sources.

We may organise, compare or summarise this information to make it easier to understand.

The inclusion of a brand or product does not necessarily mean that the manufacturer or brand has provided, reviewed or approved our content.

5. Recommendations and Editorial Content

Our recommendations are created to help visitors explore eyewear more easily.

We may consider factors such as:

• Design
  • Frame materials
  • Comfort
  • Fit
  • Intended use
  • Brand identity
  • Product characteristics
  • Customer sentiment
  • Available product information

Recommendations represent our editorial assessment based on the information available to us at the time.

Product availability, specifications, colours, materials and other characteristics may change. Visitors should check the relevant brand or product information before making a final decision.

6. Third Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to external websites, including eyewear brands and other useful resources.

When you leave our website and visit another website, that website operates under its own privacy practices and policies.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of external websites.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.

7. Information Sharing

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information with service providers where this is necessary to operate, secure, maintain or improve the website.

Examples may include website hosting providers, technical service providers, analytics providers, security services and email or form processing services.

Where third party services are used, the information shared should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant service.

We may also disclose information where required by applicable law or where necessary to protect the rights, security or property of the website and its users.

8. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law.

For example, information submitted through a contact form may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the enquiry and maintain appropriate communication records.

Technical and analytics information may be retained according to the settings and retention periods of the services used on the website.

Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the type of information and how it is used.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss.

However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For this reason, visitors should avoid sending information through the website that they would not want transmitted over an internet connection.

These may include the right to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you
