EyeNetra Privacy Policy

Effective: June 19, 2018

EyeNetra, Inc. (We) builds a range of tools that help eye care providers service patients worldwide. The tools measure medical information of the eyes and allow eye care providers to safely store and fulfill their services. When you use our services, you’re trusting us with your information. We understand this is a big responsibility and work hard to protect your information and put you in control.

This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can update, manage, export, and delete your information.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY.

BY USING OUR SERVICES, OUR APPLICATIONS OR DEVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

----

1 - WHAT DO WE CAPTURE?

There are four stages of information we capture:

  1. When you browse our websites and applications, we automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address, which can determine your location, in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system. We use cookies to offer you a better browsing experience, analyze site traffic, personalize content, and serve targeted advertisements.
  2. When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address, email address and payment information. We may send you emails about our store, new products, best practices and other updates.
  3. When you use the devices, we capture your patient's refractive error. Such information remains anonymized until you associate them with notes identifying the patient or the patient profile itself. The applications capture the location of the exam, date and time of the usage, pictures used to compute the optical powers of the devices, light sensor information, accelerometer information, your EyeNetra phone's information (such as serial number and phone number), the information in range of NFC and Bluetooth devices, and the applications have the power to change your Phone’s Settings information in order to make sure the devices run accurately. You should assume that every activity in the app is being tracked and stored, including when the patient is running through the examination process. That data is again anonymized and submitted to our servers, where we run algorithms to understand the device’s usage and enhance the results.
  4. When you use the Insight platform to connect the anonymized measurements to a patient profile. On Insight, patients can book appointments, insert the current medical status, have the anonymized measurements be associated with them, be prescribed from the on-line portal and be charged on their credit cards. Insight is a HIPAA compliant data storage for all that information. The data is encrypted in our servers and only the users that you gave access to will be able to see the data.

2 - HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION?

We may use your Personal Information for the following purposes:

When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we provide them only with the Personal Information that they need to perform their specific function.
  • Legal Requirements.

We may disclose Personal Information (excluding Health Information) to third party marketers (who may combine such Personal Information with their own records, and records available from other sources), for their own direct marketing purposes, and the direct marketing purposes of other third party marketers. If you wish to opt-out of sharing your Personal Information with third party marketers for their own and third party direct marketing purposes, please send an email with your name and address to info@eyenetra.com.

We may share your Patient’s health information to the following purposes:

  • Disclose Health Information to designated health care providers for the purpose of preparing a prescription for eyewear, contact lenses and/or related products and services (“Prescription“);

Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the personal information.

7 - OTHER THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
