Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, and disclose your information. We encourage you to read it and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Payments

When you make a purchase through our Services, you authorize us or our third party payment processor to charge your payment method for any such purchases (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) that may be accrued by or in connection with your purchase. You are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and for providing a valid method of payment. All prices, fees and any applicable taxes and other charges are payable in the currency shown at checkout. When you initiate a purchase transaction via the Services, you will be asked to provide billing information such as your name, billing address, and credit card information. You may also need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your transaction. If you are completing the purchase using a third-party payment processor, that processor's terms and conditions apply to your payment transaction.

Security

We care about your privacy and want you to know that transmitting data over the Internet and mobile networks is not 100% secure. Messages you send to or receive from MyLens.ca are not encrypted and could be incepted by third parties. If you choose to communicate financial information, information about your health (including your prescription information), your insurance identification number, or any other sensitive information by text or email, you do so at your own risk.

Customer Satisfaction

At MyLens.ca, we are committed to providing our customers with great quality products and a wonderful customer experience at reasonable prices. Our products are sold in limited quantities and availabilities. We have done our best to display our items as accurately as possible via our Services. Please be aware however that variations in style, color, size, shape, and look may occur. If you are not satisfied your purchase, please review our Return Policy.

Referral Program

Registered MyLens.ca customers may be eligible for a referral credit when they share their personalized referral link and the referred customer completes his or her first purchase. To qualify for the credit, the referred customer must click on the referrer's unique link, create a new Account, and place an order via the Site. Referral credit is granted as MyLens.ca 'store credit' to the referrer's account once all items in the referred customer's first order have shipped. The credit is non-transferable.

We reserve the right to review, investigate, and remove referral credit as well as suspend users or accounts in instances we identify behavior we believe to be abusive, fraudulent, or not aligned with the spirit of the program.

We reserve the right to suspend our referral program at any time. If we remove the links to your referral codes, you may no longer receive referral credit for new people completing their first purchases with us.

You are encouraged to share your referral link with friends and family and through social media outlets. However, you must not, without permission, include MyLens.ca trademarks or engage in activity that may be regarded as misleading to MyLens.ca customers.
