Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

The Information We Collect:

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the USAEyes website. On some pages you can make requests for researched information. The types of personal information collected at these pages are:

Name
Address
Email address
Phone number
Optical health
IP address
(etc.)

On some pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you are submitting a request for information regarding another person's eye surgery concerns, you will need to submit the recipient's address. In this circumstance, the types of personal information collected are:

Name
Address
Email address
Phone number
Optical health
(etc.)

The Way We Use Information:

We use the information you provide about yourself and/or someone else only to provide information directly related to your concerns. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that request.

We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are used only for communication with you and our associates and are not shared with outside parties.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with associates. For example, we may tell an associate that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women requested information, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

Our Commitment To Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Our Commitment To Children's Privacy:

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13. The Ask-Lasik-Expert bulletin board excludes persons under 13.

How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information

You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by contacting our organization directly and requesting the current information we posses and submitting updates. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.

You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
