Cookies and Web Beacons

We collect Automatically-Collected Information through commonly-used information gathering tools, such as cookies and web beacons.

(a) Cookies: To help make the ivcvx.vet website more responsive to the needs of our users, we may use a standard feature found in browser software, called a “cookie” to assign each visitor a unique, random number, a sort of anonymous user ID that resides in your computer hard drive if you use our website. Standing alone, cookies do not identify the Personal Information of the user; rather, they identify the computer that a user uses to access our website. A cookie cannot read data off of your hard drive or mobile device. Cookies may store user preferences, information about your browser, list of website features used, and activities conducted while using the ivcvx.vet website. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but, at your option, expense, and responsibility, you can block cookies at any time by changing the preferences in your browser and/or delete cookies from your hard drive and mobile device. However, by blocking and deleting cookies, you may not have access to the entire set of features of the ivcvx.vet website and features may not function properly. We use cookies to customize your experience while using the ivcvx.vet website.

(b) Web Beacons: We may also use “web beacons” to collect Automatically-Collected Information about your use of the ivcvx.vet website, and the viewing and use of emails we send to you. Web beacons are graphic image files embedded in a web page or email that provide a presence on such web page, feature, or email and send back to its home server information from the user’s browser. The information collected by web beacons allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using the ivcvx.vet website and opening our emails, and for what purpose. For example, we might place a web beacon in a marketing email to notify us when a user clicks on the link in the email. We do not collect Personal Information with web beacons.

How Your Information is Used

When you supply your Personal Information, we will use it for the express purpose stated when we ask for such Personal Information, to respond to any requests you may have about use of the ivcvx.vet website, to contact you regarding your account or your use of the ivcvx.vet website, and to provide required notices.

IP Addresses: We use IP/MAC addresses to track and aggregate Automatically-Collected Information.

Other Uses of Your Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information: We may use your Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information to customize and tailor your experience using the ivcvx.vet website, displaying content we think you might be interested in and according to your preferences.

We may use Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information to help diagnose problems with our website, to make our website more compatible with the technology used by our users, to analyze statistical use patterns, and to otherwise improve our website. For example, we may use Automatically-Collected Information to track what our users look at most so we can recognize and provide more of the desired features.

We also use Automatically-Collected Information to determine which website referred you to our website and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

(b) Marketing Communications:

We may use your Contact Data to provide you with information about other products or services that may be of interest to you. We will never share your Contact Data with any third party for their own marketing or other independent uses. If we use your Contact Data to send marketing communications to you, we will provide you with an easy mechanism to opt-out of receiving future marketing communications (see Section 7(a) below for more information). If you request that we not contact you for marketing purposes (either by using the opt-out mechanism or contacting us), we reserve the right to contact you for non-marketing purposes relating to your account or other use of our website. We respect your privacy and your right to limit the ways in which we contact you.

(b) Third-Party Analytics Services:

We may use third-party analytics services in connection with the ivcvx.vet website to assist us in better understanding our website users. For example, we use these services to track and analyze certain Automatically-Collected Information, such as feature usage. We only ever provide these service providers with (or allow these service providers to collect on our behalf) Automatically-Collected Information. The recordings will never identify you personally, though they can identify your IP/MAC addresses and mobile device IDs. We use the information collected from these service providers to find usability problems to make our website easier to use. The information we receive from these third parties may be re-associated with your Personal Information after we receive it back from these third parties. These third parties are not authorized to use your information in any other way and are required to keep the information confidential.

REDSTONE MEDIA GROUP reserves the right to and will release Personal Information and/or Automatically-Collected Information, without your consent and without additional notice to you, if REDSTONE MEDIA GROUP believes in good faith that (i) such release is required to comply with any law, rule, regulation, or any search warrant, subpoena, court order, or similar legal process; or (ii) disclosure is necessary to protect or enforce REDSTONE MEDIA GROUP ‘s rights or property, to protect the rights or property of others, to protect your safety or the safety of others, in emergency situations, to defend against legal claims, or to take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud.
