We believe that information used responsibly benefits consumers and
the economy, whether it is information we house on behalf of
consumers conducting transactions or information we collect on
behalf of our business clients. For example, we use consumer

Veterinary Clinic for safe and reliable service. The relationships
we have developed through the years have been established based on
mutual trust. Each day we and employees and agents strive to
reinforce our commitment to our clients and consumers. Central to
that commitment is ensuring that we abide by a set of privacy

collection and use of information as well as employee

information about consumers only in a manner consistent with these
policies.

WE COLLECT AND WHERE APPLICABLE, WE WILL INFORM CONSUMERS ABOUT HOW

Foxhall Veterinary Clinic collects information directly from
consumers or sources other than our business customers, we permit
them, if possible, to dispute or correct any erroneous or
out-of-date personally identifiable information. Of course, this
correction would not be possible if the information is proprietary
to one of our business customers, reflects historical transaction
information or if correction would violate the privacy or legal
rights of a third party. Where applicable, we abide by laws related
to such information. You can correct factual errors in your
personally identifiable information by sending us a written request
that credibly shows error. We reserve the right to independently
verify claims made. To protect your privacy and security, we also

corrections. We reserve the right to assess a service charge for
