To access certain areas of the member web site, additional personally identifiable information is collected, specifically the individual’s date of birth and first name. This information is collected as a means to authenticating and identifying the individual to allow access to the available information and services on the member web site. Davis Vision already has access to the information collected and compares the information on the Davis Vision enrollment files to the information presented by the user to verify membership and authenticate the user.
If disclosures of any personal information are made outside of this authentication and verification process, the information is not required and the user may chose to omit the information.
