Privacy Policy
The Vision for Privacy
At Dhrishti, our mission to provide the gift of sight is built on a foundation of trust and transparency. This policy outlines how we steward the information you share with us to further our campaign for global eye care. While we aim to be as open as possible, we strongly encourage you to review local regulations as eye care and data collection laws vary across the regions we serve. Protecting your digital presence is as vital to us as preserving physical vision.
Information Handling
Having said that, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. It usually also includes a statement regarding the website’s commitment to protecting its visitors’ or customers’ privacy, and an explanation about the different mechanisms the website is implementing in order to protect privacy.
Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location.
Your Data Rights
Generally speaking, a Privacy Policy often addresses these types of issues: the types of information the website is collecting and the manner in which it collects the data; an explanation about why is the website collecting these types of information; what are the website’s practices on sharing the information with third parties; ways in which your visitors and customers can exercise their rights according to the relevant privacy legislation; the specific practices regarding minors’ data collection; and much, much more.
