Texas A&M University (TAMU) respects your privacy.
The College of Veterinary Medicine's main Web site does not collect
personal information about visitors. However, we do use a "cookie" to
identify new vs. repeat visitors to our sites. This cookie only
creates a self-generated identification string and does not collect
or send any personal information beyond what is normally found in the
server logs (see below).
Personal information that you provide via e-mail or through other online means
will be used only for purposes necessary to serve your needs, such as responding
to an inquiry or other request for information. This may involve redirecting
your inquiry or comment to another person or department better suited to meeting
your needs.
We do, as nearly all sites, use server logs to collect
information concerning your Internet connection and general information about
your visit to our Web site. This information may be used to analyze trends;
to create summary statistics for the purpose of determining technical design
specifications; and to identify system performance or problem areas.
This means we sometimes acquire, record and analyze portions of the data that
is entered into, stored on, and/or transmitted through this site by you. This
information is only released -- when legally required -- to help law enforcement
investigations, legal proceedings or internal investigations of TAMU rule and
regulation violations. These groups would use the information to track the
electronic interactions back to the source computer(s) or account(s).
Some web pages at Texas A&M University may collect personal information
about visitors and use that information for purposes other than those stated
above. Each web page that collects information will have a separate privacy
statement that will tell you how that information is used.
If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your use of this Web site, please contact the Webmaster or through regular mail at:
