PRIVACY
(Updated August 09, 2010)
At Abrams Eye Institute we value and protect our customers' privacy. This Online Privacy Policy describes the types of information we collect from users of our websites ("Users") and explains what we do with that information. As used herein, "Users" includes you, and refers to any individual who visits our websites or provides any personal information via the Contact Us form on the website.
What Information We Obtain
For each User, we may receive information concerning the usage of our website by that User including the User's IP address, information concerning the User's browser and/or operating systems, and other access-related information. In addition, we (or a third party acting on our behalf) may collect or use "cookies", "log files", or other tools, which are addressed below under the heading Use of Cookies and Similar Tools.
We also collect information provided by Users in connection with online inquiries involving our services.
The information that we collect include personally identifiable information (such as the User's name and email address).
How We Use the Information We Obtain and How You Can Control Such Use
We use the information that we collect online to maintain and improve our services, to enhance our website as well as our email and other marketing activities, to personalize the Useršs experience (the information provided help us better respond to the Useršs individual needs), and to improve customer service (the Useršs information helps us to more effectively respond to customer service requests and support needs)
The information that Users provide to us may be combined with other information (such as demographic information and transaction history) available from our records and other sources, in order to make our future marketing efforts more efficient.
We may send emails to a User in connection with the User's transaction or business relationship with us. If the User fills out our Contact Us form, we may send an email to the User concerning company news, special offers, promotions, and eye exams, products and treatments. If the User does not wish to receive special offers or promotional mailings, the User may be removed from our email or regular mail lists through the use of any of the Contact/Opt-Out Methods listed below.
We or one of our affiliated service providers may contact a User by email in connection in response to an inquiry from the User.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. Some of the information we collect may be shared with other reputable marketers to bring the User offers of interest, and, if personally identifiable information is collected in connection with a joint promotion, it may be provided to that joint promoter for marketing and research purposes. If the User prefers that we do not share their name and email address with other reputable marketers, Users may contact us at any of the Contact/Opt-Out Methods listed below and request that their name be marked as "do not share."
We may provide personally identifiable or other information, with or without notice to the User, in response to a lawful request from a law enforcement or government agency or in response to a formal request in a civil action. In addition, we may provide personally identifiable information, with or without notice to the User, to credit bureaus or collection agencies if we are permitted or required to do so by law. In the event of a merger or acquisition of Abrams Eye Institute, the sale of substantially all of its assets related to the operation of any of the websites, or other change of corporate control, information collected by us may be transferred to or controlled by a present or future controlling corporation or by a surviving or successor entity.
In other respects, we do not disclose personally identifiable information to third parties, except when such disclosure is necessary for particular third party service providers to perform services for us or to provide goods or services to Users, or for other purposes as permitted or required by law. We require our third party service providers to confirm that their privacy practices are consistent with our privacy practices.
Use of Cookies and Similar Tools
"Cookies" are small pieces of information about an Internet session that may be created when an individual accesses a website. Cookies are delivered and received by our website (or, in some instances, by our emails or by banner ads that we may purchase for use on another organization's website) and stored by a User's browser on the User's computer hard drive. We may use cookies or similar tools to learn about Users' preferences and Internet session information, to record User-specific information including the User's likely state of residence, the web pages that the User accesses and for how long, and whether the User returns to our website. Such data, however, is not linked by us to any personally identifiable information concerning the User. Cookies and similar tools permit us to tailor offerings to User preferences, to improve our website and email marketing, and to provide better service to return visitors to our website. We may encode our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them. If a User rejects cookies, the User may still use our website. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist with us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve business.
Please note that this Online Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies or the collection or use of any other information by any advertisers or third-party websites that may be linked to or from our website.
Protection/Security
We employ security measures to protect sensitive information, including personally identifiable information, in our possession. However, Users should remember that no information storage or information transmissions on the Internet are completely protected. Consequently, while we strive to protect Users' personal information, we cannot guarantee such security, and Users ultimately provide such information at their own risk.
Protecting Children
We are in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act). We do not market our products or services to children and we do not knowingly permit persons under the age of 13 to provide personally identifiable information our website. The provision of personally identifiable information by children on our website is strictly prohibited. We encourage parents to supervise and participate in their children's Internet activities, and we urge children to exercise caution and consult their parents before providing any personally identifiable information on the Internet.

Also, Users may have linked to our website from another website that is not owned or controlled by Abrams Eye Institute. Please be aware that Abrams Eye Institute is not responsible for the privacy practices of other such websites, and this Online Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by our website. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
