Information We May Collect
Personal Information means any information that may
be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and
last name, a home, business, or other physical address, a phone number, and an
email address. In general, we only collect Personal Information from our Site
users in connection with inquiries about our services through the “Contact Us"
or "Order " pages.
How We May Use Your Information
If you provide us with Personal Information, we may
retain and use that information for several purposes, including facilitating
your inquiry or request. For example, we may use your Personal Information in
order to respond to your questions or requests for information about Metro Eye
Docs. We may also use Personal Information to ensure compliance with our
policies and applicable law. We reserve the right to send you certain

administrative or transactional messages, without offering you the opportunity
to opt-out of receiving them. You always have the option to opt-out of
electronic communications at any time by emailing or telephoning

With Whom We May Share Your Information
We may sometimes use other businesses to perform
certain services for us, such as maintaining the Site and our e-mail services
and processing inquiries. We may provide Personal Information to those
businesses when that information is necessary for them to complete a requested
transaction or otherwise perform their duties. Metro Eye Docs., will take
reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are
obligated to protect Personal Information on Metro Eye Doc.’s behalf. Metro Eye
Docs., will not sell or share your Personal Information with any unaffiliated
third parties for marketing purposes. In the event that Metro Eye Docs., or all
of its assets are acquired, customer information would be one of the transferred
assets. We reserve the right to disclose visitor information in special cases
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our
rights or property, other visitors, or anyone else that could be harmed by such
activities. We also reserve the right to disclose visitor information when we
believe in good faith that the law requires it.
Aggregate Information
From time to time, we may collect general,
non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Site, such as how
many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page
and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. We collect this information
through the use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies, which are
discussed in greater detail below. We collect this information in order to
determine which areas of the Site are most popular and to enhance the Site for
visitors. We may group this information into aggregate visitor data in order to
describe the use of the Site to our existing or potential business partners,
sponsors, advertisers, or other third parties, or in response to a government
request. However, please be assured that this aggregate data will in no way
personally identify you or any other visitors to the Site.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Some of our web pages utilize “cookies” and other
tracking technologies. A cookie is a small text file that a website transfers to
an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. For example, we may use

your browser. However, please be aware that some features of the Site may not
function properly or may be slower if you refuse cookies. We do not link the

system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our Site is
accessed. It is not our practice to link the information we record using
tracking technologies to any Personal Information you submit while on the Site.
However, we reserve the right to use IP addresses and other tracking
technologies to identify a visitor only when we feel it is necessary to enforce
compliance with the Site’s policies, to protect the Site, our customers, or
others, or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal
data. We restrict access to personal information to Metro Eye Docs., employees,
contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate,
develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality
obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal
prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
