We maintain a record of your product interests and the purchases you make online or by phone and in our stores, and may also acquire information about you from our joint marketing partners, from unrelated third parties, and from our affiliates.
How does Optego use my information?
When you place an order or make a purchase from Optego, we use your personal information to process your order, send you e-mails to confirm your order or to contact you via phone, postal mail or e-mail if we have other questions regarding your order or purchase.
When you place an order, make a purchase or save your information online, we will use your e-mail and postal address to send you information about our products, services, contests, and promotions and to help us learn more about your shopping preferences. If you participate in a contest or promotion (online, over the phone or at one of our retail stores), we may use your personal information to send you e-mails, postal mail, or telephone (including text messages) regarding our products, services, contests and promotions. From time to time, we may use this information to contact you via e-mail, postal mail, or telephone to learn more about your shopping preferences. You always have the choice not to receive marketing information or calls.
To serve you better, we may combine information you give us and information about your product interest and purchases with information from third parties, including demographic information and information that is publicly available. We may also combine this information with information from our affiliates. We use that combined information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us, and to communicate with you in accordance with this policy.
Does Optego share my information with third parties?
If you shop at one of our affiliates, we share information about you with that affiliate, so that it can communicate with you by e-mail or postal mail about their products, services, contests and promotions that may be of interest to you. Each of our affiliates has a privacy policy that is consistent with our own.
We also contract with service providers to maintain and manage our customer information, to fulfill promotions and to communicate with our customers. We do not authorize any of these service providers to make any other use of your information.
In addition, when we team up with another company to offer or provide products, services, contests or promotions, we may compare our customer list with theirs to identify our common customers. Both Optego and our marketing partners may use that information to fulfill our respective obligations to you and for future promotional activities.
When we offer contests and promotions, with or without a marketing partner, you may be required to provide certain personal information in order to participate. In these cases, we will give you the choice not to receive e-mail messages or other communications from us regarding our products, services, contests, and promotions. In this case, however, Optego may still need to contact you, for example, to notify winners and to fulfill promotional obligations.
Scrip programs allow you to instruct Optego to divert a percentage of the amount you spend to participating schools and other non-profit organizations. Loyalty programs allow you to earn “points” on purchases at Optego, which you may then use toward certain rewards offered by the loyalty programs in which you participate. If you choose to participate in any scrip, loyalty, or other similar program in which Optego is a participating vendor, the company administering the scrip, loyalty, or other similar program (collectively, the “scrip company”) should provide a link on its website that permits you to authorize Optego or our credit card processor(s) to provide information about your Optego purchases. The information you authorize us to disclose to the scrip company will include your credit card number and the date and amount of your purchase, and may also include your name and other information you have asked us to provide. Please note that once Optego discloses this information, the scrip company may use and share it with others in accordance with its own privacy policy. You should review these policies carefully, as we have no control over them.
In the unlikely event of a sale of some or all of our business, Optego will disclose your personal information to a purchaser that agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of this privacy policy.
Optego reserves the right to disclose information about you as required by law, in response to legal process and law enforcement requests, and as necessary to protect the property, interests and rights of Optego, its affiliates, and others.

What are cookies? How does Optego use cookies on its site?
A cookie is a small data file that Web sites often store on your computer’s hard drive when you visit their sites.

We use cookies but do not store personally identifiable information in your cookie.

How do I know my credit card information is secure?
At Optego we don’t just stand behind our merchandise. We also do our best to provide a safe and convenient online shopping experience. We safeguard the integrity of our customers’ credit card information.
Protecting the safety of your credit card information is important to us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us.
SSL is the gold standard in Internet encryption technology, which is a fancy way of saying that it’s a highly sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our website’s servers.
If you’re not quite comfortable shopping online, or would prefer to make your purchase via telephone, just give us a call toll free 1-877-678-3464, we’ll be happy to take your Optego order right over the phone.
CVV (credit card security code)
In an effort to make your shopping experience as secure as possible, we now require that you to enter your credit card’s 3 to 4 digit security code (CVV). Since the code can only be found on the card itself, providing it helps to prevent credit card fraud.
Bank or credit card company liability
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank or credit card company cannot hold you liable for more than $50 of unauthorized or fraudulent charges on a credit card. Your liability for unauthorized use of a debit card may be higher, but most debit card issuers voluntarily apply the $50 limit to their cards as well.
Remember: If unauthorized use of your credit or debit card does occur, you must notify your card provider, in accordance with the agreement you have with the company.
Your credit card information is secure
To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. To double-check for security, look at the URL or Location line of your browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from “http” to “https.”
Some browser versions and some firewalls don’t permit communication through secure servers like the ones we use to process orders at Optego. If for any reason you cannot access the secure server, please feel free to place your order with us by phone toll free 1-877-678-3464.
