What organizations are collecting the information?
In addition to our direct collection of information, our third party service vendors (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses and banks) who may provide such services as credit, insurance, and escrow services may collect this information from our Visitors and registered visitors. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use personal information provided to them from Visitors and registered visitors. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information given to them.

We use Personally Identifiable Information to customize the Site, to make appropriate service offerings. We may email Visitors and registered visitors about research or purchase opportunities on the Site or information related to the subject matter of the Site.

Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information to comply with law.
We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information in order to comply with a court order or subpoena or a request from a law enforcement agency to release information.

Securing Personally Identifiable Information
All of our employees are familiar with our security policy and practices. The Personally Identifiable Information of our Visitors and registered visitors is only accessible to a limited number of qualified employees who are given a password in order to gain access to the information. We audit our security systems and processes on a regular basis. Sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers, is protected by encryption protocols, in place to protect information sent over the Internet. While we take commercially reasonable measures to maintain a secure site, electronic communications and databases are subject to errors, tampering and break-ins, and we cannot guarantee or warrant that such events will not take place and we will not be liable to Visitors or registered visitors for any such occurrences.

Deleting or deactivating Personally Identifiable Information collected by the Site
We provide Visitors and registered visitors with a mechanism to delete/deactivate Personally Identifiable Information from the Site's database by contacting the Laser Eye Institute by mail to our mailing address below. However, because of backups and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete a Visitor's entry without retaining some residual information. An individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and we will not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to that individual in any way moving forward.

What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We will let our Visitors and registered visitors know about changes to our privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site.
