Our Privacy Policy

As doctors, we take patient privacy issues very seriously. When you visit and navigate our Web Site, we will not collect personal information about you unless you provide us with that information voluntarily and knowingly. By "personal information," we mean data that is unique to an individual, such as a name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, medical history.

You are always welcome to use the www.visionhelp.com web site without registering or providing any personal information.

We treat any personal information you give us as confidential. We do not analyze your personal information nor do we collect specific information about your use of our site.

An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. IP addresses allow computers and servers to recognize and communicate with one another.

Your IP address information is NOT gathered or analyzed with the purposes of sharing data with third-parties. We do not share IP address data or aggregate data based on IP addresses with any third-parties, i.e., advertisers, sponsors, or other organizations.

We will use IP address information, however, to personally identify you in order to enforce our legal rights or when required to do so by law enforcement authorities.

We do NOT use Cookies. "Cookies" are small data files which some web sites place in the browser file of your computer's hard drive. These cookies automatically identify your browser whenever you interact with those web sites. Cookies are used to collect user data for market analysis. We repeat -- we do NOT use Cookies.

www.visionhelp.com will not disclose to third parties any identifying personal information gathered from you from email messages unless (1) we tell you how your information will be used, and (2) you give us specific permission to share this information, or (3) we are required to disclose such information by any applicable law or legal process (like a subpoena or court order). Where we disclose identifying personal information to third parties with your authorization, we will require the recipient to use the information only for the purpose provided.

We use security procedures to protect personal information you submit to us from misuse or unauthorized disclosure.

Access to the data within www.visionhelp.com is limited to a few computer experts for our site who need to maintain the database and who also use passwords for that access, as well as outside vendors who may occasionally assist us in maintaining and improving our hardware and software tools.

www.visionhelp.com makes every effort to safeguard your personal information. However, like other Internet sites, we cannot guarantee that it is completely secure from people who might attempt to evade security measures or intercept transmissions over the Internet. We cannot completely ensure the privacy of e-mail communications to and from our site because they are not encrypted and, therefore, not secure. These communications, like most Internet e-mail, could be intercepted without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to or from our site. This includes e-mail you send to us. If you are concerned about your privacy, we suggest that you do not use e-mail to communicate information to us that you consider sensitive.

If you have any concerns about the security or privacy of your personal identifiable information on the www.visionhelp.com Web Site, please contact us at info@visionhelp.com or send a written notification to:
