computer's hard-drive when you visit certain websites, thereby
"tracking" use of the site. Some browsers can be set to reject

(i) third party service providers for purposes related to supporting

or other transfer of the business of this Site to which the

(ii) if the rights or property of Virbac AH, Inc., 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 AH, Inc. 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 AH,
Inc. 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 AH, Inc., 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 AH, Inc. via the Internet
is password-protected for your privacy and security. Virbac
AH, Inc. 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.

collect your personal information (including information generated
