associated with offline activities or other Opticare Systems Ltd
web sites.
Changes in Privacy Policy
All "personal information" ("personal information" is
defined as any information that identifies or can be used to
identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information
pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to the
version of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of such collection.
Opticare Systems Ltd reserves the right to change the Privacy
Policy from time to time at its sole discretion and will provide
notice of material changes on the home page of the Site. If as
the result of such changes, you want to alter the ways in which
Opticare Systems Ltd is allowed to use your personal information,
you can do so by following the procedure described below in the
section titled "Updating
your personal information and privacy preferences."
You will be deemed to have been made aware of and will be subject
to, the changes to the Privacy Policy by your continued use of
the Site after such notice has been posted for thirty (30) days
with the following exception: If at the time you provide personal
information to Opticare Systems Ltd you are given the opportunity
(as you currently are) to limit how such information will be
used to communicate with you, either by Opticare Systems Ltd
or by its associates, Opticare Systems Ltd will not change your
preference in this regard without your express consent.
However, if Opticare Systems Ltd sells assets (or the assets of a division or
subsidiary) to another entity, or Opticare Systems Ltd (or a division or subsidiary)
is acquired by, or merged with, another entity, Opticare Systems Ltd may provide
to such entity customer information that is related to that part of our business
that was sold to or merged with the other entity without your consent.
Entities collecting personal information
Personal information on this Site is collected by Opticare Systems Ltd. The Site
contains links to other sites at which personal information is collected. In
such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection and
use of your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable
to that site. That privacy policy should identify the entity that is collecting
your personal information.
Collection of personal information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing
any personal information. In connection with other activities, Opticare Systems
Ltd may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out
and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in
these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, Opticare
Systems Ltd may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first
and last name, mailing address (including Post/ZIP code), e-mail address, telephone
number and other personal information.
Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide
is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory
data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in
that activity.
When you use the Site, Opticare Systems Ltd or third parties
authorized by Opticare Systems Ltd may also collect certain technical
and routing information about your computer to facilitate your
use of the Site and its services. For example, we may log environmental
variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed
and the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of your computer.
We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track
your use of the Site and its services. Opticare Systems Ltd also
uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns
on the Site. Without expressly informing you in each particular
circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your
personal information.

you understand and agree that this information may be transferred across national

Systems Ltd and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices. You also acknowledge
that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection,
transferring, storage and processing of your information may be undertaken by
trusted vendors of Opticare Systems Ltd. Such vendors are bound by contract not
to use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any
third parties. One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed
pages in which the URL for the pages is not visible and the pages are being hosted
by a vendor of Opticare Systems Ltd.

whose services are available to you from this Site or from Web sites that are

posted on such site and personal information that you provide while on this Site
in conjunction with a provider's service will be subject to this Privacy Policy.
You should be aware that our agreements with these service providers
often provide that they will share with Opticare Systems Ltd
personal information collected from you. In such instances, Opticare
Systems Ltd may use this information in a manner consistent with
this Privacy Policy. In the situation where sites have Opticare

information in a solely intermediary capacity and does not use
personal information for secondary purposes.
