This privacy statement discloses the privacy
practices for www.winvet.com of
Exan WinVet Software website.
Information Collection and Use
Exan WinVet Software is the sole owner of the information
collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this
information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. Exan WinVet Software collects information from our
users at several different points on our website.
Registration
In order to use this website, a user must first complete the
registration form. During registration a user is required to give
their contact information (such as name and email address). This
information is used to contact the user about the services on our site
for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to
provide demographic information (such as income level and gender), and
unique identifiers (such as social security number), but encouraged so
we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user
must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and
financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This
information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact
information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the
user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance,
by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a
password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a
user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only
drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our
site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of
our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take place. Cookies
can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to
enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our
site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or
control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can
identify any individual person.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders,
and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We partner with another party to provide specific
services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share
names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third
party to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable
information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we [EXAN
WINVET SOFTWARE] are not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave
our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys
or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to
disclose this information. Information requested may include contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be
used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will
be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend
about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. [EXAN
WINVET SOFTWARE] will automatically send the friend a one-time
email inviting them to visit the site. [EXAN WINVET SOFTWARE]
stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time
email. The friend may contact [EXAN WINVET SOFTWARE] at
www.winvet.com to request the removal of this information from their
database.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your
information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter
sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social
security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with
the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure
page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore,
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable
information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our
website, you can send an email to security@winvet.com.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and
username. Established members will occasionally receive information on
products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect
for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive
these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out
below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members
are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain
important information about the service. We communicate with the user
to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to
their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your
zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will
endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's
personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member
information page or by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their
information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the
point where we ask for the information. For example, our order form
has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but
don't want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of
our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter
or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving
these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in
the email or email us at support@winvet.com.
Users of our site are always notified when their
information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so
our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should
proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose
it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was
collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a
choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy
under which the information was collected.
