PRIVACY
STATEMENT
Texas
A&M University (TAMU) respects your privacy. The College of Veterinary
Medicine's main Web site does not collect personal information about visitors.
In particular, we do not use "cookies" to
collect information.
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 requests for information. The only personal
information that might be made public on site is your name and school district
if you have registered to attend a PEER Workshop. We may also use your
information in redirecting an inquiry or comment from you to another person or department better
suited to meeting your needs.
We do, however, 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
