This wonderful hue can reduce anxiety and provide an elevated feeling of serenity. A reassuring and not overly stimulating colour, blue helps with concentrating and retaining information.
People who prefer blue are generally trustworthy and very sensitive to the needs of others. They have great intuition and patience and think before they act. Achieving perfection is essential for many.
Appreciated by a large part of the world's population for its positive associations with the sky and ocean, blue is compatible with several colours. For a perfect symbiosis with TransitionsTM sapphire-coloured lenses, black or blue tortoise acetate or silver tone metal frames are inevitable choices. For more contrast, transparent, beige or pink acetate frames are great alternatives.

If an entrant cannot be contacted within 7 days or is unable or unwilling to accept the Prize for any reason, that person forfeits the right to win a Prize; another entrant's name may then be randomly drawn for that Prize and the process will be repeated to contact that new entrant. No communication will be exchanged except with the selected entrants. The Prize must be accepted as described in these Contest Rules. In the event that it is impossible, difficult and/or more costly for the Contest Organizer to award a prize (or part of a prize) as described in these Contest Rules, the Contest Organizer reserves the right to award a prize (or a portion of a prize) of the same nature and equivalent value or, at the Contest Organizer’s sole discretion, the monetary value of the prize (or part of a prize) as indicated in these Contest Rules.
6. HOW TO CLAIM A PRIZE
If you are selected as a potential Prize winner, you will be notified by email September 7, 2022. The potential Prize winners must sign a declaration and release form (the “Declaration Form”) and return it to the Contest Organizer’s designated representative by email in the manner prescribed on this form within seven (7) days of receipt and must comply with these Contest Rules. Prizes will be randomly distributed based on availability. Winners will receive their Prize by post.
The Prizes will only be awarded to the confirmed winner. If a potential winner of a Prize fails to properly complete the Declaration Form and return it within the required time, fails to comply with these Contest Rules (as determined by the Contest Organizer in its sole discretion), cannot be contacted in accordance with these Contest Rules for any reason and/or cannot accept a Prize for any reason, they will then be excluded from the Contest (and must waive all rights to the Prize) and another draw will be held for an entrant to be selected for that Prize.
The Contest Organizer and Prize Sponsor assume no liability after delivering the Prize, and the winner must assume the risk of loss or damage to the Prize after shipping. The Contest Organizer and the Prize Sponsor make no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the appearance, safety, or performance of the Prize. The Prize will be delivered to the winner’s clinic within three (3) weeks of receiving the correctly completed Declaration Forms. It is the winner’s responsibility to pick up their prize at the participating clinic. The Contest Organizer and Prize Sponsor are not responsible for contacting or forwarding the Prize to a winner who provides unclear or incomplete information, or for prizes lost, misdirected, delayed, or destroyed while in transit.

Effective Date: August 6, 2021
Your privacy is important to OPTOMETRIC SERVICES INC. and their subsidiaries such as OPTOPLUS and affiliates (collectively, “OPTOMETRIC SERVICES INC.”, “we”, “us” or “our”). This Privacy Policy applies to our activities in Canada and describes our practices with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, as well as any rights you may have with respect to your personal information (as defined in the Definition of “Personal Information” section).
Table of Contents
1. Scope and Application
This Privacy Policy relates to the personal information collected by OPTOMETRIC SERVICES INC. This Privacy Policy applies whenever you interact with us, including when you visit one of our websites or enroll into one of our promotions or contests.
2. Definition of “Personal Information”
“Personal information” is any information that identifies, or could be reasonably associated with, an individual and their household (collectively, “individual” or “you”). This may include, for example, your name, contact information and email-address. It may also include other types of more technical information, but only when this information can identify you as an individual. Information that is aggregated and/or de-identified and cannot be associated with an identifiable individual is not considered to be personal information.
3. What Personal Information do we Collect?
We limit the collection of personal information to what is reasonably required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We collect personal information in various ways.
Personal information we collect may include:
Identifiers and contact information, such as your name, email and postal addresses, telephone number, Internet Protocol (IP) address (if it can identify you as an individual)
Demographic data, such as date of birth or gender.
Browsing activity on our websites, such as page and offers viewed, opt-out preferences, email bounce backs, click-throughs, content on social media, and IP addresses, if it can identify you as an individual (as further detailed in the How we Collect Personal Information section).
Geolocation information may be collected when you use our websites and apps, although this information may not always identify you as an individual.
Any other information you provide to us.
4. How we Collect Personal Information
We collect personal information in various ways, including: directly from you, from through online technologies (such as when you are interacting with us through our websites) and from third-party social networks.
More specifically, we collect personal information in the following ways:
a.Directly from you
We may collect personal information directly from you by mail, by email, over the telephone, through our websites or in any other direct manner, for instance when you participate in a contest or survey or make a request to our customer service.
b.Through online technologies
We may collect certain types of information electronically when you interact with our websites, emails, social media accounts, online advertising, or using our or a third party’s technologies, which include cookies, web beacons or single pixel gifs or analytics engines. This information helps us understand what actions you take on our websites and allows them to work correctly.
The technologies we use include:
Cookies, which are small text files that are saved on your computer when you visit a website so that information can be saved between visits, such as your login credentials or language preferences. For example, cookies allow you to log in quickly when you visit our websites.
Web beacons, and single pixel gifs, which are small image files that have information about you, such as your IP address, that can be downloaded when you visit a website or open an e-mail. This allows us to understand your online behaviour, monitor our email delivery, and provide you with interest-based advertising. These tools also allow our third-party tracking tools to gather information, such as your IP address, and provide this back to us in an anonymized, aggregate form (i.e. in a manner that prevents us from identifying you personally). Aggregate information refers to personal information compiled and expressed in a summary form where no personal identifiers are included. • Web analytics tools such as Google Analytics, which uses cookies to analyze your use of our websites and apps, to create reports about visitor and user activities for us and to provide further services associated with the use of our websites and apps.
Analytics engines, which pull usage data from multiple sources and help manage and collect this data to use for personalization, interest-based advertising, customizing content and other methods to gain insights into our customers’ needs and preferences.
Tools that help protect against inappropriate uses, such as Google Invisible reCAPTCHA, which collects hardware and software information, such as device and application data and the results of integrity checks, as well as unique online identifications such as IP address, and sends that data to Google for analysis.
You may delete or disable certain of these technologies at any time via your browser.
c. Third-Party social networks
We may collect your personal information if you interact with us through our social media pages and accounts (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram). For instance, we collect the personal information the respective social media platforms allow us to collect from our followers. We may also collect any content you upload to our social network pages (including photos or videos).
In addition, third-party social networks that provide interactive plug-ins to enable social network features (e.g., to connect to Facebook) on our websites may use cookies to gather information on your use of the websites. How this collected data is used by a third party is dependent on the privacy policy of the social network which is available on the appropriate parties’ website. OPTOMETRIC SERVICES INC. encourages you to review the privacy policies of third parties as well. Third parties involved may use these tracking methods such as but not limited to cookies to achieve their own business goals and purposes by relating and combining information about your usage of our websites to any other personal information they may have collected on you. We may also obtain and use analytical and statistical information from third-party social networks to help us measure performance and effectiveness of content we display on social networks, for example, by measuring impressions and clicks on the content OPTOMETRIC SERVICES INC. promotes.
