Welcome to Virbac’s Privacy Policy. This document outlines how Virbac Corporation (referred to as “Virbac,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, protects, and manages your personal information when you interact with our Internet websites, applications, and other interactive services (collectively, the “Site” or “Sites”). By accessing or using our Sites, you signify your acceptance of the terms outlined herein. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please discontinue your use of the Site immediately.
About This Policy
This Privacy Policy governs your engagement with our Sites, including your interactions on social media platforms, our presence on third-party websites like Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Google+, Instagram, and Twitter, and your viewing of our online advertisements. It details the types of information we collect, how we utilize it, the measures we take to safeguard it, and the choices you have regarding your data.
Information We Collect and How We Use It
Virbac collects information in three primary categories:
- Personal Data You Actively Provide: This includes information you voluntarily share with us during registration, participation in sweepstakes, content submissions, or other interactions on our Sites. Such data may encompass your name, address, email address, and telephone number, among other identifiers.
- Automatically Collected Information: We gather data about your computer or wireless devices, such as your IP address, cookie ID, or unique device identifiers, as well as information related to your usage of the Sites.
- Information from Third Parties: This may include data received from third-party social media providers with whom you have registered or connected.
How Information is Collected
We gather information directly from you when you:
- Register for our Sites or subscribe to our Newsletter.
- Utilize online forums, submit feedback, or provide comments and reviews.
- Upload or share photos, submit information, or post digital content via our Sites or social media interactions.
- Participate in Virbac-sponsored sweepstakes, contests, promotions, programs, clinics, or workshops.
- Inquire about or apply for employment with Virbac.
Additionally, we may collect location data derived from your IP address or smart device. Through the use of “cookies”—small data files stored on your computer’s hard drive—we track Site usage. Cookies help us understand user interests and behaviors, enabling us to provide you with information about products, services, features, or promotions that may align with your interests. While some browsers can be configured to reject cookies, modifying your browser settings may affect the proper functioning of certain Site pages.
Consent and Data Usage
We collect your personal data only when you voluntarily provide it. By providing information through your access to or use of the Sites, you consent to its collection, use, and disclosure in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Virbac utilizes your personal data to enhance Site content, tailor the Sites to your preferences, develop user profiles for personalized content delivery, provide requested services and features, and, upon your request, send you information about relevant products, services, features, or promotions. We may also use your data to generate aggregated information that does not personally identify you, which is used for Site development and marketing efforts.
Virbac may share your personal data with its affiliates and related companies who agree to handle it in substantial accordance with this Privacy Policy. We do not sell your information, but we may share it with affiliates and certain third-party service providers who act on Virbac’s behalf. These third parties are engaged for purposes such as fulfilling services, providing technical support, managing deliveries, and delivering requested information, with the requirement that they adhere to this Privacy Policy. Furthermore, your personal data may be disclosed in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the Site’s business, provided the buyer, assignee, or transferee agrees to treat the data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Aggregated information, which cannot identify you personally, may be shared with affiliates, related companies, and unaffiliated third parties.
Limited disclosure of your personal data to third parties may occur under specific circumstances and to the extent permitted by law: (i) if legally required by law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or court order; (ii) if the rights or property of Virbac, its affiliates, related companies, third-party service providers, or Site users are at risk; or (iii) if the personal safety of Site users or the public is jeopardized.
How We Protect Your Personal Data
Virbac implements technical security measures to protect your personal data. However, no Internet transmission is entirely secure. To the extent permitted by law, Virbac, its affiliates, related companies, third-party service providers, and their respective personnel are not liable for any misuse, loss, or alteration of personal data, nor for any third parties’ use or misuse thereof. We employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology for transmitting information to our servers, aiming to ensure data integrity and privacy. Encryption scrambles data, making it unintelligible if intercepted. To utilize this encryption, you require a browser that supports it, such as Safari or Microsoft Explorer. As an additional security measure, information provided online is stored separately on a secure server, with your password encrypted in a database. We take reasonable precautions against unauthorized access or loss of your information, continuously updating our security protocols to address evolving cyber threats. Despite these measures, the risk of unauthorized access or loss persists. If you suspect unauthorized access to your information, please contact us immediately.

Be aware that operators of linked websites may also collect your personal data, including information gathered through cookies. Virbac is not responsible for how these third parties collect, use, or disclose your personal data. We advise you to review their respective privacy policies before providing them with your personal information.
