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

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

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 Veterinary Affiliates. 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 Veterinary Affiliate. We may also allow the Veterinary Affiliate who is offering the job or internship position to access the application and the Personal Information contained in the application. Veterinary Affiliates will not have access to application data for positions they are not offering. We will not share your employment or internship application information with any third party.

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 have disclosed within the preceding 12 months the following categories of Personal Information to the following categories of third parties for a business purpose, including to our service providers and third parties with whom you direct us to share your Personal Information, and to comply with legal obligations:

The CCPA defines “sale” or “sell” as disclosing or making available to a third-party Personal Information in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. While we do not disclose Personal Information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we do 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 Site. If you have visited our Site in the preceding 12 months, cookies and other metadata about you may have been obtained by our third parties for their commercial use, unless you have disabled or opted-out of the use of “cookies” when you visited the Site.
