Links to other sites

Our Sites may contain links to other websites merely as a convenience. SoClear is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other websites, and inclusion of links does not mean we endorse the information or company. This means that if you connect to another site through our Sites, we are not responsible for – and we cannot control -what they do with your personal information.

Also, you may have the opportunity to share your personal information with other websites, such as social media sites. We may provide a convenient link to let you do this easily, but we are not responsible for – and we cannot control – their website or your posts/sharing. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies and personal information collection practices of these other websites and social media sites.

SoClear provides you the opportunity to request to stop receiving electronic communications from either SoClear or our partners by withdrawing your consent. If you do not want to receive communications from us, you may use the convenient unsubscribe feature included with emails. Please allow us time to process your request.

Keep in mind, this withdrawal of consent does not apply to necessary communications, such as responding to an inquiry, and is revoked if you later request information from us (e.g. if you subsequently sign-up to receive news alerts from us).

Social Media

User-Generated Content. If you are a user of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and/or other social media sites with public account settings and you use any hashtags which may be related to SoClear aligners or any of its campaigns and/or products or services, we will be able to pull your reviews of our products from the social media sites and post them on our other Sites. This is so that we can share your opinions about our products with the visitors of our Sites. Before being posted in our Sites, your comments will be reviewed by us. You hereby agree not to use these hashtags if you do not wish for your reviews to be made available on our Sites.

By posting or otherwise making available any content on a social media platform about your SoClear aligners experience, and responding “yes” if we ask for your permission to repost content on any of our Sites (including any official SoClear social media channels, such as on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and others), you represent and warrant that you are thirteen (13) years of age or older and that you agree to the terms and conditions listed on our page on those websites.
