Other cookies last longer and are used to recognize your computer when you return to our website. Cookies are designed to make your online experience easier and more personalized. They can only be read by the server that placed them and are unable to execute any code or virus.

Web server logs are files that store the activity on a certain website.

We rely on partners to provide many features on our website using data collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:

• Site Operations: Enabling features that are necessary for providing you the services on our website, such as managing your login session, tracking content views, and remembering your preferences in order to continually improve the website and better serve the needs of our users.

Our website contains hyperlinks or embedded links (“Links”) to our Partner Clinics who operate veterinary practices around the country. The Links are provided as a service to our users who are pet families of our Partner Clinics and users who may be interested in the services and practices of our Partner Clinics. We do not participate in the medical practices of any of our Partner Clinics, and they have sole autonomy as to how they provide medical care to their pet patients. We do, however, assist our Partner Clinics with the business side of their practices, and our assistance includes helping them design, launch, pilot and support their veterinary practice websites (“Partner Sites”) so they may best serve their patients and pet families. The terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy found on each of the Partner Sites governs and controls the type of Personal Information collected and how that Personal Information is used and shared. Once you have left our website this Privacy Policy no longer applies. As part of our role in assisting our Partner Clinics, after we have assisted them in launching their Partner Site, we may, from time to time, assist them in uploading content and generally supporting their Partner Site. We may, but are under no obligation to, review the content on those Partner Sites for accuracy, veracity, or reliability. Because we do not participate in any aspect of veterinary care, and may not regularly review content on Partner Sites, we are not responsible for any of the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on any Partner Site. If you decide to leave our website and access a Partner Site, you are solely responsible for the type of Personal Information you choose to disclose through the Partner Site, and your consent to how your Personal Information is collected, used, and shared by the Partner Clinic. We are not responsible for the privacy policies applicable to Partner Sites and hereby disclaim all responsibility and liability for the content on and availability of any Partner Site.

Our website contains Links to websites run and controlled by third parties (“Third Party Sites”). These Links are provided to users as a convenience and service to our users. Some Links may take you to Third Party Sites containing information that may be useful or of interest to you.

You may also click on the Links located on our “Career Opportunities” and “Student Opportunities” pages. Those Links will take you to a Third Party Site where you may review and apply for current employment and internship opportunities offered by our Partner Clinics. Please note that our Employee and Job Applicant privacy notice applies to information we collect from employees and job applicants. You may, at your sole option, apply for open employment or internship positions by completing the information fields on the Third Party Site. The Third Party Site uses applicant tracking software to collect your Personal Information and to process the application. We will be given access to your application and the Personal Information contained in that application, and we will provide your application to the appropriate Partner Clinic. We may also allow the Partner Clinic that is offering the job or internship position to access the application and the Personal Information contained in the application. Partner Clinics will not have access to application data for positions they are not offering.

We do not control the means by which your Personal Information is collected through the Third Party Site or the software used to collect it, nor do we control the security implemented by the third party that controls any Third Party Site. All Third Party Sites are operated independently from us. You understand and agree when you Link to any Third Party Site (whether for information or to apply for employment or an internship position) this Privacy Policy and the practices that we follow under this Privacy Policy will cease to apply. Rather, the privacy policy offered by the Third Party Site will apply to the Personal Information you provide through that Third Party Site. Please review the privacy policies listed on every Third Party Site that you visit.

We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on any Third Party Site or for the privacy practices of any third party. We will not, and are under no obligation to, investigate, monitor or check the Third Party Sites for accuracy or completeness, or for any obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, indecent, profane, defamatory or unlawful content or materials. Inclusion of any Link to a Third Party Site does not imply approval or endorsement of the Third Party Site.

We retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected as outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law or is needed in order to fulfill our legal obligations.

We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, technical, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure Personal Information from unauthorized use or disclosure. However, due to the open communication nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will be 100% secure, and free from accidental or unauthorized use, disclosure, or access.

This website is provided for and targeted to adults and is not intended to be used by children under 13 years of age. Student externships are not offered to children. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have been provided Personal Information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at the email below. If we have stored any such Personal Information in our database, we will delete it as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice from you.

In addition to the foregoing, depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may have the following additional rights and choices regarding your Personal Information.

You have the right to limit our use and disclosure of your “Sensitive Personal Data,” as that term is defined in applicable statutes, where we have collected it to use as necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by you, and as otherwise authorized by the statute and regulations.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.

Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We will take steps to verify your consumer request, including that you are the person making the request, or you have authority to make the request on behalf of the individual the request relates to. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We endeavor to respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any rights you have under applicable law. Unless permitted by applicable law, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by state law that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

If you are visually impaired, have another disability or seek support in other language, you may access information regarding Your Rights and Choices by emailing [email protected] or calling 914-369-1500 .

We disclose or make available Personal Information to third parties in order to receive certain services or benefits from them, such as in connection with cookies that third parties we partner with may have collected on our website.

In the last 12 months, we have sold, shared or used for targeted advertising Personal Information including identifiers, commercial information, internet or similar network activity, inferences, and geolocation data, and we have sold or shared these categories of Personal Information with providers of advertising and analytics services, network advertisers, Partner Clinics, and partners who assist us with target audience creation. This sharing and disclosure is considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for the purpose of targeted advertising under some state laws.

If you are a resident of certain jurisdictions, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information to third parties as described in the above section titled “Right to Opt-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal information or Use of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising.” To exercise the right to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request as outlined in the section titled “Exercising Your Rights” or by using the “Do Not Sell or Share” link or button on our website. Please note that your right to opt-out does not apply to our sharing of Personal Information with service providers, with whom we work and who are required to use the Personal Data only on our behalf.

If you wish to authorize a third party to make a request on your behalf through an authorized representative, you must provide a valid power of attorney or comparable documentation of written permission from you and verification of your identity.
