Collection and Use of Personal Information

Vet School MEME-ories collects personally identifiable information—such as name, email address, home or work address, and telephone number—as well as anonymous demographic information not unique to you, including ZIP code, age, sex, preferences, interests, and favorites. Vet School MEME-ories collects this information when users submit it to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) LIFE Trust Program Administrator.

Data from social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram is also collected and analyzed by Pearl Insurance to determine advertising content that may be relevant to the users of Vet School MEME-ories. This is called online behavioral advertising (OBA). Users may opt out of OBA through the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), or users may modify the placement of data identifiers, reset those identifiers, or delete existing cookies. Users who opt out may continue to see advertising, but will not see advertising tailored to their online browsing habits.
