This Website Privacy Policy, along with Lyme Laser Centers Inc. ("Lyme Laser"). Terms of Use and Notice of Privacy Practices will tell you what information we collect through the Lyme Laser Website and how it is used. By using the Lyme Laser website, you agree to acceptance of this Website Privacy Policy.

Please read the following carefully before using the site.

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

You will be asked to provide personal information (including certain demographic and contact information, including email addresses) during the Lyme Laser Cofactor Assessment process, when making appointment requests, or when providing feedback to us about your experiences using the Lyme Laser Website and Cofactor Assessment process. The information required is noted on each specific form. Additional questions might be included to help us improve the services we offer.

HOW WE USE THIS INFORMATION

Lyme Laser uses the information you provide to Lyme Laser to assist in providing a service to you. In addition, Lyme Laser may also use certain personal information, including your email address, to provide communications, information and materials to you related to the Lyme Laser Cofactor Assessment process and/or research opportunities or other programs and services available through Lyme Laser, and certain information and surveys, including patient satisfaction surveys relating to your use of services provided by Lyme Laser. Lyme Laser may also share such information with third party service providers whose services and/or materials are accessible through Lyme Laser to enable such third parties to provide those services and materials to you.

DATA SECURITY

Lyme Laser seeks to prevent unauthorized access to your personal information by maintaining a secure firewall and use of security technologies to protect the integrity and privacy of any personal information you provide.

As an additional security measure, your personal information is also encrypted during transmission by Secure Socket Layer 128-bit encryption software. (Encryption is a common method used to transmit sensitive data across the Internet. Encryption temporarily makes the text unreadable during the time it is being transmitted over the Internet.) This is an industry standard.

Although we endeavor to protect your personal information, Lyme Laser cannot and does not warrant the security of any information you transmit to us through online applications, and you do so at your own risk. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your communication could be discarded or archived. If you wish, you can contact us instead by telephone at the numbers provided throughout our site.

The Lyme Laser website uses “cookies” to determine the number of times a page on the website has been accessed. Cookies are small computer files that a website can transfer to your computer. Examples of information we collect include how often someone visits our site and their activities while on our site. We use this information in the aggregate to understand how our visitors as a group use different resources. These reports do not contain any personally identifiable information.

THIRD PARTY VENDORS/CONTENT PROVIDERS

Lyme Laser occasionally will engage reputable third-party vendors to help us manage our website, provide content and information and enable us to interact better with our clients and visitors.
