Motwani Lasik Institute respects the privacy of visitors to
our site. This Privacy Policy governs the use and collection
of information from you by Motwani Lasik Institute ("we" or
"us") through your use of this site. This Privacy Policy
does not apply to any information you may provide to us
through other means; for example, at a live event, via mail,
or via telephone.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you
understand our online privacy practices. By visiting this
site, you agree that your visit, and any dispute over our
online privacy practices, is governed by this Privacy Policy
and our Visitor Agreement. Questions regarding privacy
issues should be directed to:

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The information we gather falls into two categories: (1)
information (for example, your name and address) that you
voluntarily supply (for example, when you register as a
visitor to the site, or customize our service to provide you
services specific to your neighborhood), and (2) information
gathered on usage patterns and preferences as visitors
navigate through our sites. In some cases, it is an agent or
affiliate of ours that collects the information on our
behalf. Third-party providers featured on or linked to by
our site, such as vendors of products and services offered
through our site, may be gathering the same kinds of
information. We may use your registration information to
contact you for customer service purposes, to inform you
about the services offered over our site or of important
changes or additions to our site, and to send you
newsletters, offers and information that you request or that
we think may interest you.
Contests and Other Promotions.
From time to time, we may offer contests, sweepstakes or
other promotions on our site. If you enter one of these
promotions, you'll have to provide information about
yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number and
email address) so that we can contact you if you win. We may
share this information with any wholly or majority-owned
subsidiary of Motwani Lasik Institute and any co-sponsor of
the promotion (we will identify any co-sponsor in the
official rules for the promotion). If you don't want us to
collect the information requested in the registration form
or to provide it to any wholly or majority-owned subsidiary
of Motwani Lasik Institute or contest co-sponsors, please do
not enter the contest or sweepstakes.
Email Newsletters.
We may offer you the opportunity to subscribe to email
newsletters on topics that we believe are of interest to our
visitors. If you have opted to receive a particular
newsletter, you may always unsubscribe later if you decide
not to receive further mailings of the newsletter from us.
Each newsletter will include instructions on how to
unsubscribe from future issues by using either a designated
reply email address or hyperlink.
Cookies.
To help make our sites more responsive to the needs of our
visitors, we use a standard feature of browser software,
called a "cookie," to assign each visitor a unique, random
number, a sort of user ID, if you will, that resides on your
computer. The cookie doesn't actually identify the visitor,
just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site.
The only personal information a cookie can contain is
information you supply. A cookie can't read unrelated data
off your hard drive. Our advertisers and the third parties
that provide products or services through our site may also
assign their own cookies to your browser, a process that we
don't control. We use cookies to help us tailor our site to
your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized service.
For example, we may use cookies to allow you to search for
those businesses closest to your home. In addition, we may
use cookies to track the pages on our site visited by our
users. We can build a better site if we know which pages our
users are visiting and how often. Of course, you can set
your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may
not be able to take advantage of the personalized features
enjoyed by other visitors to our site.
Other Methods of Collecting Information.
Our web pages may contain electronic images (called
"single-pixel GIFs" or "web beacons") that allow us and our
vendors to count users who have visited particular pages or
to access certain cookies. We may use these tools and other
technologies to recognize which pages users visit, and which
links they click on. These features may also be included in
our email newsletters so that we can learn which messages
have been opened and acted upon. We may also be able to
verify your online purchases from us or from third party
sites that have agreed to share such information with us.
Browser Level Information and IP Addresses.
Our web servers automatically collect limited information
about your computer configuration when you visit our site,
including the type of browser software you use, the
operating system you're running, the resolution of your
computer monitor, the Web site that referred you, and your
IP address. (Your IP address is a numerical address that is
used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your
computer so that data such as the web pages you want to view
can be transmitted to you.) We also use IP address
information for systems administration and trouble shooting
purposes. Your IP address does not tell us who you are. We
use this information to deliver web pages to you upon
request, to tailor our site to the interests of our users,
and to measure traffic within our site.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Why we want to know.
We collect information in order to make the Web site more
useful and relevant to you. For example, we may ask you for
an address so that you can map a route from your work or
home address to that of a service provider, or so you can
narrow your search to businesses that serve your
neighborhood.
Third Parties.
We will not share the personally-identifiable information
you provide when registering on our site with third parties.
We may, however, take the information you provide and
aggregate it with data from all the other people that use
this site and associated services. Then we would use that
pool of information to inform third parties about our
audience without identifying you personally. For example,
we'll be able to say to a third party: "We have 3,470 site
visitors in this ZIP code," which happens to be your
location.
Vendors and Provider Partners.
To make our sites more valuable to our visitors, we may
offer some features in conjunction with other providers
("Provider Partners"). Our email newsletters, email services
and online classifieds for example, may be made available
through cooperative arrangements with providers that
specialize in operating such services. In some instances,
our Provider Partners will have the same access to your
information as we do. Their use of the information will be
subject to the terms of their respective privacy policies,
which you can find on their Web sites. We may also use
vendors and third-party contractors to help us operate our
site, analyze or process data on our behalf, or improve the
services that we offer to you. We may provide these vendors
and contractors with information about our visitors that is
necessary for them to perform the services that we request.
Statistical Information.
Much of the information we collect is in the form of
aggregated statistics, such as the traffic that visits
various pages within our sites, and the habits and
preferences of our audience. Such aggregated information
does not include any information that would identify you
personally. We may use such aggregated information and
disclose it to third parties as we see fit.
Sites to Which We Link.
Our site includes links to plenty of other Web sites, and
provides access to services offered by third parties, whose
privacy policies we don't control. When you access another
site or purchase products or services or conduct other
transactions through our sites, use of any information you
provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of
the site you're visiting or the provider of such products or
services.
Other Disclosures.
We may occasionally release information about our visitors
when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce
our Visitor Agreement, or to protect the rights, property or
safety of visitors to our sites, the public, our customers,
or our company and its employees, agents, partners and
affiliates. As our business grows, we may buy or sell
various assets. In the unlikely event that our company, or
the bulk of our assets relating to this site, is acquired by
another company, information on our visitors would be among
the transferred assets.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Children should always get permission from their parents
before sending any information about themselves (such as
their names, email addresses, and phone numbers) over the
Internet, to us or to anyone else. We won't knowingly allow
anyone under 18 to register with our site, to provide
business information to our site, or to provide any other
personally identifying information. If you're under 18,
please do not provide us with any personally identifying
information about yourself (such as your name, your email
address or your phone number).
STORAGE OF INFORMATION
All information gathered on our site is stored within a
database operated by us or by a contractor on our behalf.
Sensitive information, such as password or information, is
encoded (not encrypted) for storage. We cannot guarantee the
security of our database, nor can we guarantee that
information you supply won't be intercepted while being
transmitted to us over the Internet.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
A final note: The Web is an evolving medium. If we need to
change our privacy policy at some point in the future, we'll
post the changes before they take effect.
