Security Technology
When a Site’s registration/order form asks users to enter financial information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected during transmission through the Internet using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software. You should see the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked or open when you are just surfing info@toweroptical.com

This can usually be done at the My Account page. However, you should also contact us by emailing www.toweroptical.com

In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that Tower, a line of business of Tower, or substantially all the assets of Tower are transferred, customer information may well be one of the transferred assets.

Your California Privacy Rights
Residents of the State of California, under the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the Company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes and a disclosure of the shared information. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that provides you with an “opt-out” choice for use of your personal information by third parties for marketing purposes, the Company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.
This Site qualifies for the alternative option. Its privacy policy provides you with information on how you may opt out from the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information during the preceding year for marketing purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tower currently has no plans to share any such information with third parties for direct marketing purposes.
If you are a California resident and request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, send a request to the following email address: Info@toweroptical.com
