EQ Veterinary Privacy Policy

 

EQ Veterinary (“we” or “us” ) is committed to protecting your privacy.  This Privacy Policy governs your use of any software applications created by EQ Veterinary (each, an “Application”) on mobile devices.

1. User Consent. By using our Application, you are consenting to our processing of Your Personal Data as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us.  “Processing” means using data collected on a computer / hand held device or using or touching information in any way, including but not limited to, collecting, storing, deleting, using, combining and disclosing information.

 

2. A Note About Children. We do not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us at info@eqveterinary.com. We will delete such in-formation from our files within a reasonable time.

 

3. A Note to Users Outside of the United States. Your Personal Data may be processed in the country in which it was collected and in other countries, including the United States, where laws regarding processing of Personal Data may be less stringent than the laws in your country.

 

4. Types of Data We Collect. “Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data.  “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons.  We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below.
.
A. User Provided Data. Each Application obtains information that you provide when you download and register the Application.  Registration with us is optional.  However, please keep in mind that you may not be able to use some of the features offered by the Applications unless you register with us.  When you register with us and / or use an Application, you generally provide (a) your name, email address, and other registration information; (b) information you provide us when you contact us for help; and (c) information that is entered into our system when you use the Applications, such as your company details, horse details etc. (“User Provided Data”).  We may also use the information that you provide to us to contact you from time to time to provide you with important information, required notices and marketing promotions.
.
B. Information Collected from Third Party Companies. We may receive Personal and/or Anonymous Data about you from companies that provide our Applications by way of a co-branded or private-labeled website or companies that advertise their products and / or services through our Applications.  These third party companies may supply us with Personal Data.  We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you.

 

5. Location Information and Bluetooth Access Permissions: location information and  Bluetooth access permissions are needed for the application to work correctly and are not collected or stored in any way.

 

6. Use of Your Personal Data
.
A. General Use. In general, Personal Data you submit to us is used either to respond to requests that you make, or to aid us in serving you better. Ways we use your Personal Data include, but is not limited to:

  • to facilitate the creation of and secure your Account on our network;
  • identify you as a user in our system;
  • improve the quality of experience when you use our Applications;
  • send you a welcome e-mail to verify ownership of the e-mail address provided when your Account was created;
  • send you administrative e-mail notifications, such as security or support and maintenance advisories;

B. Creation of Anonymous Data. We may create Anonymous Data records from Personal Data by excluding information (such as your name) that make the data personally identifiable to you.  We use this Anonymous Data to analyze request and usage patterns so that we may enhance the content of our Applications.  EQ Veterinary reserves the right to use Anonymous Data for any purpose and disclose Anonymous Data to third parties, including but not limited to our research partners,  in its sole discretion.

 

7. IMPORTANT. If you have opted to purchase the EQ Pro Therapy device through financing directly with us, you will be required to use our Application to operate the system through your mobile device. Please be aware that if you will not use the Application to operate the device, you will be able to perform only 2 treatment hours with the standalone device. After these 2 hours will be expired, the EQ Pro Therapy device will ask you to sync with the Application on your mobile device. In case the sync does not take place, the EQ Pro Therapy device will automatically lock itself until the sync between the Application on your mobile device and the EQ Pro Therapy device is performed.
In case we have not received your financing monthly payment, your EQ Pro Therapy device will be locked remotely by us and you will not be able to perform any treatments. The system lock is performed via the Application.
Once the outstanding charges and applicable late fees will have been paid for, your EQ Pro Therapy device will be unlocked as soon as possible. Once the device will have been paid in full, you will be able to operate the EQ Pro Therapy system without any restrictions and without using the Application for any amount of time you wish.

 

8. Disclosure of Your Personal Data. We disclose your Personal Data as described below and as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.

    .
  2. Affiliates and Acquisitions. We may share some or all of your Personal Data with our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (“Affiliates”), in which case we will require our Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy.  If another company acquires our company, business, or our assets, that company will possess the Personal Data collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy.   In the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, your Personal Data may also be transferred as a business asset.

9. Third Party Data Collection.

 

  1. Automatic Data Collection and Advertising. We may work with analytics companies to help us understand how the Applications are being used, such as the frequency and duration of usage. Free versions of the Applications are supported via advertising, and collect data to help the Applications serve ads. We work with advertisers and third party advertising networks, who need to know how you interact with advertising provided in the Applications which helps us keep the cost of our Applications low or free. Advertisers and advertising networks use some of the information collected by the Applications, including the unique identification ID of your mobile device; however, advertisers will not have access to any other identifiable Personal Data. These third parties may also obtain information about other applications you have downloaded to your mobile device, the mobile websites you visit, your non-precise location information (e.g., you zip code), and other non-precise location information in order to help analyze and serve anonymous targeted advertising on the Applications and elsewhere.    If you would like to opt-out from third party use of this type of information to help serve targeted advertising, you can stop all collection of information by an Application easily by uninstalling the Application.  You may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network.
    .
  2. Third Party Websites. When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave our Application and go to another site and another entity may collect Personal Data or Anonymous Data from you.  We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for, these outside websites or their content.  Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites or content, or to any collection of data after you click on links to such outside websites.

 

10. Data Retention Policy; Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Data. We will retain User Provided Data for as long as you use the Applications and for a reasonable time thereafter.  If you would like us to delete User Provided Data, please contact us at info@eqveterinary.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.
