Privacy Policy

New York Eye Surgery Center (NYESC) is very sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We respect your right to privacy and feel it is important for you to know how we handle the information we receive from you via the Internet.

In general, you can visit our site without revealing any personal information about yourself. If you choose to provide NYESC with personal information, it may be necessary (in some cases) for us to provide your information to our employees, contractors or agents in order to respond to your inquiry. Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, piracy or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Additionally, in the unlikely event that we liquidate or sell our business, or an outsider is appointed to operate our business, we may transfer some of this information to a buyer or successor. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will remain private indefinitely.

At NYESC we realize that you trust us with valuable information. You can be assured that we would never violate that trust by giving your personal information to a third party. Your e-mail address will never be sold to a mailing list, or anyone else. No information you give us will be used in any way without your consent.
