The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary Website Privacy Policy
Introduction
Our Commitment To Your Privacy
NY Eye & Ear Infirmary, Inc. (“NYEE”) is highly sensitive to the confidentiality of information provided by you to NYEE. As a result, NYEE has adopted the following Privacy Policy which is applicable to all information that you provide to NYEE and that NYEE maintains electronically, whether you provide the information through NYEE’s World Wide Web Site (the “Site”) or through other means. You should also review our Terms and Conditions as they are also applicable and govern your use of the Site. This Policy does not apply to any information that you may provide to third parties, such as through other sites linked to the NYEE Site. You should contact such third parties directly to determine their respective Privacy Policies.
NYEE expressly reserves in its sole discretion, and at times and intervals of its choosing, the right to change its Policies and Practices periodically in the future without prior notice to Site Users. You should review our Privacy Policy Statement regularly to be sure you are fully current with our practices and procedures in this area. At present, NYEE uses and discloses the information provided by you for the purposes described below.
This written Policy discloses the information-gathering and dissemination practices for The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary's Site. This Notice applies to all information collected or submitted on nyee.edu. As noted above, this Privacy Policy Statement may change from time-to-time so please revisit this Notice periodically to ensure your usage of the Site is correct with the policies and practices governing it.
TOPWhat Information Do We Collect?
The NYEE site will not obtain such information about you unless you choose to submit it to us. For example, by emailing us your comments or suggestions, that identifies your email address.
We have taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide. You should understand, however, that electronic transmissions via the Internet are not 100% secure from interception and so we cannot guarantee the security or confidentiality of such transmissions.
The NYEE web server collects and saves the default information customarily logged by world wide web server software. Our logs contain the following information for each request: date and time, originating IP address and domain name (the unique address assigned to your internet service provider's computer that connects to the Internet), object requested, and completion status of the request. We use these logs to help improve our service by evaluating the "traffic" to our site in terms of number of unique visitors, level of demand, most popular page requests, and types of errors.
These logs may be kept for an indefinite amount of time, used at any time and in any way necessary to prevent security breaches and to ensure the integrity of the data on our servers.
Except for authorized law enforcement investigations or other facially valid legal processes, we will not share any information we receive with any outside parties.
What Do We Use This Information For?
Primarily, we use your information to provide you with the services available to you. We use your IP Address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer NYEE’s Site. Your IP Address is also used to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information, some of which we aggregate and then share with our strategic alliance partners. We also use your IP address to keep track of the information you have seen on our Sites. We use your name, e-mail address and mailing address to assist us in communicating with you if you ask us to do so. We use information on your resume to assist you with job placement.
Security
When the use of the NYEE Site involves the transmission of confidential information about you or NYEE, we use commercially reasonable and available security software to establish a secure connection between your personal computer and our server. This allows the transmission of encrypted information from your personal computer to our server and back again, and is the industry standard for Internet platform security.
Disclaimer of Responsibility for Privacy Policy and Content at Linked Sites
NYEE’s Site may provide you with links to other web sites. We are not responsible for those sites and cannot control the use of information that you submit once you reach those sites, nor can we control the content of what is offered on those sites or on links from those sites.
Legal Requests for Information
It is our Policy to respond to valid government and regulatory requests for information, court orders or subpoenas issued by third parties.
