PRIVACY POLICY

Notice of Privacy Practices Effective As of March 2, 2007

OCuSOFT, Inc., through optional registration, may gather personally identifiable information about you such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, or other similar information ("Information") when you voluntarily submit it to us or when you give permission to others to share such Information with us. The Information we collect may be used to send you health-related materials, to develop products, services and programs that you may find useful, or to contact you. From time to time we may also request that you volunteer additional demographic, or other health information that we may use to serve you better. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) protects your individually identifiable health information (“protected health information”). HIPAA outlines when OCuSOFT may or may not use or disclose your protected health information. HIPAA requires your written authorization for uses or disclosures of your protected health information not allowed under the law. OCuSOFT can use and disclose any information which is not individually identifiable. OCuSOFT agrees to protect your individually identifiable health information by using and disclosing it only as permitted in this Policy and as directed by state and federal law.

Any Information you provide to us is held on a secured web server (a computer that stores web documents, allowing users to access web pages using web client software) operated by OCuSOFT, Inc. (or by an agent of OCuSOFT, Inc performing services on our behalf). We will not transfer, sell or rent Information to anyone, other than our affiliated companies, and external individuals and organizations working on our behalf, without your permission.

Through our web sites, OCuSOFT, Inc. also collects non-personally identifiable information relating to such matters as: the total number of visits to our web sites, the number of visitors to each page of our web sites, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of our visitors, and the time spent on our web sites. We use this information to understand how our visitors use our web sites so we can improve the customer experience. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our servers, and for purposes of system administration. From time to time we may also share non-personally identifiable information with others.

This website uses Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses. An IP Address is a number designated for your computer by your Internet service provider to provide access to the Internet. Generally, an IP address will change every time your computer connects to the Internet. However, if you have a broadband connection, it is a possibility that your IP Address that we may gather, or even perhaps a cookie we use, may contain information that may be deemed identifiable. This could occur due to the fact that by using certain broadband connections, your IP Address would not change and could be associated with your personal computer. We may use your IP Address to gather aggregate information on use.

The use of cookies is now standard, and you will find them used by most major web sites. A cookie is a text file stored on a user's computer hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies can also enable us to track the interests of our users to enhance their experience on this site, and to deliver content specific to a user's interests. We will place a cookie in the web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Netscape) file of your computer when you visit our site; we or an independent advertising company or other contractor whom we engage may also from time to time deliver a uniquely-numbered cookie to your web browser through an e-mail if you have opted-in to receive e-mail from OCuSOFT, Inc. You may delete or decline the cookie using the tools in your web browser, and you may still use our site; however, some parts of our site may not work properly for you.

You should be aware that this site is not intended for, or designed to attract, individuals under the age of thirteen. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is under the age of thirteen.
