DryEye Rescue Clinic (” we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website dryeyerescueclinic.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to visitors of our website and to individuals who contact us or request appointments through it.

This Policy vs. Our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices

This website Privacy Policy is separate from our Notice of Privacy Practices under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which governs how we use and protect your protected health information (PHI) as a patient of our clinic. If you become a patient, our Notice of Privacy Practices will be provided to you at the clinic, is available upon request, and can be viewed online at our Notice of Privacy Practices page. Please do not submit detailed medical information through general website forms; use them only to request contact or an appointment.

Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you fill out a contact or appointment request form, call us, or email us, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, and any message you choose to include (for example, a brief description of your symptoms or the reason for your visit).

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring pages, and dates and times of access. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies, including analytics and advertising tools described below.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and schedule or confirm appointments;
  • Communicate with you by phone, email, or text message when you have requested it;
  • Operate, maintain, and improve our website;
  • Measure and improve our marketing and advertising;
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or get help by replying HELP. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors that provide support services (such as customer service) is permitted. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. For additional information about our SMS program, please review our Terms and Conditions.

Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

We use third-party services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, and advertising platforms such as Google Ads to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.

  • A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
