The privacy of your personal information is of the utmost importance to GVS! Any information gathered by Georgia Veterinary Specialists ("GVS") will be kept strictly confidential and will only be used or shared in ways consistent with our Oakhurst focus. Unless we have your express consent, GVS will not sell, rent, loan, trade or lease your personal information to any third party. We will take special care to protect the privacy and security of your information. This policy explains our information practices and the choices you can make about the way GVS collects and uses your information. This Privacy Policy covers the information you provide to us offline and at the GVS website. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to third party Web sites that may be accessible through our website. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of those third parties to learn how they collect and use information about you. How does GVS collect and use my information? GVS collects and uses your personal information to respond to your requests for information. Unless we have your express consent, your personal information will not be shared. GVS collects personal information when you:
When you visit our Web site, GVS may collect technical information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. This information (sometimes referred to as "non-personally identifiable information") may include the address (or "URL") of the Web site that you came from before visiting our site, which pages you visit on our site, which browser you used to view our site and any search terms you have entered on our site. This technical data is aggregated and used to measure and improve the effectiveness of the GVS site. We do not attempt to combine this technical data with the personal information we collect on our site. Does GVS share my personal information? Unless we have your express consent, GVS will NOT sell, rent, loan, trade or lease personal information such as membership data or e-mail lists to any third party. We treat all information you provide as confidential. Occasionally, we may contract with other companies to provide limited services on our behalf such as packaging, mailing and delivering purchases and processing event registration. From time to time, we may be required to provide personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. Unless prevented by law, we will notify you prior to the release of such information. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. We may release certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves.
How does GVS secure my personal information? GVS uses a variety of safeguards to protect your information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. We only provide access to your personal information to GVS volunteers and other authorized parties on a "need to know" basis. Please be careful whenever sending personal information to GVS via e-mail. E-mail is commonly not a secure means of transferring information. Will this Privacy Policy change? If there are changes or additions to this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we collect online or offline, how we use it and what choices you have. Regardless of any changes we make to our Privacy Policy, we will only use your personal information in accordance with the version of the Privacy Policy in place at the time you provided your information, unless you later give your express consent for us to do otherwise. |
