Protecting your personal privacy is very important to us at Vet-Kem®.

This privacy policy statement is applicable to the Vet-Kem.com(SM) web site (the "Site").

Gathering and Use of Information

Vet-Kem® will never willfully disclose any personally identifiable information about our visitors to any third party without first receiving the user's permission. We do not collect personally identifiable information from our visitors other than what is supplied to us on a voluntary basis. Visitors may provide personal identifiable information to Vet-Kem® during (1) guest book registration or (2) contacting us for more information. In addition, personally the user in connection with certain content submissions, comments and suggestions, or voting may voluntarily provide identifiable information.

Vet-Kem® may use such information for its internal purposes, including but not limited to, editorial feedback, marketing and promotional purposes. In addition, Vet-Kem® may collect Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Vet-Kem® does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable; so your use of our Site remains anonymous.

Acceptance of Unsolicited Ideas Through The Internet. The receipt of unsolicited ideas by Wellmark International does not obligate the company to keep these ideas confidential, and does not obligate the company to pay the person who submits them.
