What information does Suggs Eye Center capture about visitors to its web site?

The Suggs Eye Center web server uses an extended log file format which captures: date and time of visit, referring address (location from which a visitor comes to one of our web sites) type of Internet browser, and visitor’s IP address. (Each computer that connects to the Internet is assigned a unique number, an IP address, for identification purposes). The log file does not capture a visitor’s email address.

Parts of this web site and other Suggs Eye Center web sites may consist of products and services hosted by third-party businesses.

This practice allows the third-party to monitor its own web site traffic, but does not provide them with any information about you. Suggs Eye Center is not responsible or liable for the independent privacy policies of our third-party sites. You should consult the privacy policies at those sites to determine how your information may be used.
