Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about Virbac's practices regarding the collection,
use and disclosure of personal information (includes information that could be used to identify you,
such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, etc.) that you may provide through your
access to or usage of the Site.
Consent
Virbac does not collect personal information about you except when you voluntarily provide it. Whenever
you provide either optional or required information through your access to or usage of the Site, you
consent to the collection, use and disclosure of that information in accordance with the provisions of
this Privacy Policy.
When we collect your personal information
Personal information may be collected in a number of instances. For example, this Site contains areas
that collect information from its visitors through feedback data, such as questions, comments and
suggestions. Some of the information that you provide through feedback data may be personal information.
In addition, access to certain areas of the Site is restricted. In order to apply for access to these
restricted areas, you are required to submit a registration application form which may include personal
information. Further, some areas of the Site require you to submit information which may include personal
information in order to benefit from specified features (such as newsletters, e-commerce/order processing).
You will be informed at each collection point what information is required and what information is optional.
Virbac may also collect information about you and your use of the Site through the use of "cookies."
Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard-drive when
you visit certain websites, thereby "tracking" use of the site. Some browsers can be set to reject all cookies;
if you choose to modify your browser in this manner, some pages of the Site may not function properly. Virbac
uses the information generated through the use of cookies to estimate the number of people that are using the
Site and to track the pages of the Site that are being visited. This information tells Virbac about user
interests and behaviors which can, in turn, be used to provide you with information about products, services,
features or promotions that may be of interest to you.
Use of Information
Virbac uses your personal information to improve the content of the Site, to customize the Site to your
preferences, to create a profile relating to you in order to show you content that may be of interest to
you, to provide the services and features requested by you and, if you ask us to, to send you information
about products, services, features or promotions that may be of interest to you. Virbac may also use your
personal information to create aggregated information that does not allow you to be personally identified or
contacted. Rather than showing individual activity, aggregated information shows user behavior as a whole.
Aggregated information is used for Site development and to market and promote the Site. When we disclose
your personal information Virbac may disclose your personal information to those of its affiliates and
related companies that agree to treat it substantially in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Virbac will
not, without your permission, disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties except that
Virbac reserves the right to disclose your personal information to:
(i) third party service providers for purposes related to supporting our business (e.g., fulfillment services,
technical support, delivery services) and providing you with information that may be of interest to you (if
you have requested to receive such information as described above) in which case Virbac will require such
third parties to agree to treat it substantially in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and
(ii) to third parties in connection with the sale, assignment or other transfer of the business of this Site
to which the information relates, in which case Virbac will require any such buyer, assignee or transferee to
agree to treat it substantially in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Virbac will otherwise only release your personal information to third parties in the following limited
circumstances and to the extent permitted by law:
(i) if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order permits or requires it to do so;
(ii) if the rights or property of Virbac, its affiliates or related companies, third party service providers
or the users of the Site are in jeopardy; or
(iii) if the personal safety of users of the Site or other members of the public are in jeopardy. Virbac may
disclose aggregated information that does not allow you to be personally identified to its affiliates and
related companies and to unaffiliated third parties.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
Recognizing that your privacy is important to you, Virbac employs technical security measures to protect your
personal information. However, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Consequently, to the extent permitted by law, Virbac, its affiliates and related companies, third party service
providers and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents do not represent, warrant or guarantee
that personal information will be protected against misuse, loss or alterations and do not accept any liability
arising from the submission of any personal information or from any third parties' use or misuse of personal
information. The information you provide to Virbac via the Internet is password-protected for your privacy
and security. Virbac uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology in transmitting such information to
our servers to help ensure the integrity and privacy of the information. Encryption involves systematically
scrambling numbers and letters, so that even if someone managed to intercept the information, they would not
be able to make sense of it. In order to take advantage of this encryption technology, you need to have an
Internet browser that will support encryption, such as Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. As an additional security
measure, the information you provide via the Internet is also kept physically separate on a separate server
where your password is encrypted and stored on a database.
Links to Other Websites
You should be aware that operators of linked websites may also collect your personal information (including
information generated through the use of cookies) when you link to their websites. Virbac is not responsible
for how such third parties collect, use or disclose your personal information, so you should check their
privacy policies before providing them with your personal information.
Changes
Virbac reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time by notifying you by posting the changes
on this Site, and you are advised to review this page regularly for any changes. This Privacy Policy was last
updated on March 8, 2002.
Other Terms
Your use of this Site is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Copyright and Legal Notice sections.
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions in effect at the time of your
access or use, including this Privacy Policy.

your personal information. If you believe that Virbac has failed to adhere to this Privacy Policy, please
