We’ve added privacy caveats to all of our public facing forms to make sure users understand how we store and collect data.

Type of information we collect:

Opticos Design is the ‘Controller’ of the personal data you provide to us. We only collect basic personal data about you which does not include any special types of information or location-based information. We ask for your name, email, and phone number to be able to contact you during the initial stages of a project, share new publications written by our thought leaders, and/or to let you know about upcoming events.

Why we need your data:

We need to know your basic personal data in order to provide you with ongoing updates and to communicate with you about our services and offerings. We will not collect any personal data from you we do not need in order to provide and oversee this service to you.

Because we are collecting your data, we take extra care with our security.

What we do with your data

All personal data we process is reviewed and stored securely by our employees for the purpose of communicating throughout a project.

Opticos Design does not share, rent, sell or lease your personal information to any unaffiliated person or entity for any reason and without your fully expressed consent.
