Privacy Policy

Our Commitment

Operation Eyesight is committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of our donors and other stakeholders. We value the trust of those we deal with, and of the public, and recognize that maintaining this trust requires that we be transparent and accountable in how we treat the information that you choose to share with us.

Operation Eyesight respects your privacy. We protect your personal information and adhere to all legislative requirements with respect to protecting privacy. We do not sell, trade or otherwise share our mailing lists. Typically, Operation Eyesight uses information such as a person’s address to keep him/her informed about the work of the organization. The information you provide will be used to keep you informed and up-to-date on the activities of Operation Eyesight, including our programs, special events, funding needs, opportunities to volunteer and more.

However, donors have the right to be removed from mailing lists as indicated by the following statement that appears on all occasions when personal information is solicited. If at any time you wish to be removed from any of these contacts, simply let us know by phone or via e-mail and we will gladly accommodate your request.
