Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 24, 2026
Welcome to Mk Visuals (“Mk Visuals,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Mk Visuals develops and operates websites, web-based tools, software applications, and digital resources designed to provide useful and practical services to users. Our projects include veterinary-focused digital tools and resources, as well as other software and web applications.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when you visit mkvisuals.org, use our websites or web-based tools, interact with our applications, or contact us.
1. Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use our websites, applications, and services.
Information You Provide
- Information you provide when contacting us by email or through a contact form.
- Your name, email address, or other information you voluntarily provide when requesting support or information.
- Information you provide when submitting feedback, reporting an issue, or suggesting improvements to one of our tools or applications.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our websites, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider, security services, analytics services, or other website technologies. This may include information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate location, and date and time of access.
This information may be used to maintain website security, diagnose technical problems, understand website usage, improve our services, and protect our websites and users from abuse.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information collected through our websites, applications, and services to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our websites, tools, and applications.
- Respond to questions, support requests, and other communications.
- Improve the functionality, performance, reliability, and usability of our services.
- Detect, prevent, and address security issues, abuse, fraud, or technical problems.
- Maintain and troubleshoot our infrastructure and software.
- Understand how users interact with our websites and tools.
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
3. Google API and Gmail Integration
Mk Visuals may use Google APIs, including the Gmail API, to provide email-sending functionality for our websites and applications. For example, our WordPress websites may use the FluentSMTP plugin together with Google OAuth and Gmail to send website-generated emails from an authorized Google or Google Workspace account.
When a Google account is connected for this purpose, the authorization is used only to provide the email functionality for which the account owner has granted permission. The Gmail integration is used to send emails on behalf of the authorized account and is not intended to provide general access to the user’s Gmail mailbox.
Mk Visuals does not sell Google user data or use Google user data for advertising purposes. Google user data obtained through Google APIs is not used for purposes unrelated to the functionality for which the user authorized access.
We do not transfer Google user data to third parties except where necessary to provide the requested functionality, comply with applicable law, protect our services and users, or as otherwise permitted by Google’s applicable policies and the user’s authorization.
We do not use Google user data to determine a user’s creditworthiness, for targeted advertising, or for the sale of user information.
Access to Google services is controlled through Google’s OAuth authorization system. You can revoke an application’s access to your Google account through your Google Account settings.
Our use of information obtained from Google APIs complies with applicable Google API Services User Data Policy requirements.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our websites may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functionality, remember preferences, maintain security, understand website usage, or improve our services.
Some third-party services integrated into our websites may also use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy policies. You can control or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of a website.
5. Analytics and Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to help us understand website traffic, monitor performance, maintain security, provide functionality, or improve our websites and applications.
These services may process certain technical information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services where appropriate.
6. Email Communications
If you contact us by email, submit a support request, or otherwise communicate with us, we may retain the information contained in your communication so that we can respond to you, provide support, maintain records of communications, and improve our services.
We do not use information submitted through support or contact channels to send unsolicited commercial communications.
7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
- Provide and operate our websites, applications, and services.
- Use hosting, security, infrastructure, analytics, email delivery, or other service providers that support our operations.
- Protect the security, rights, property, or users of Mk Visuals and its services.
- Investigate suspected fraud, abuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity.
- Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or valid governmental requests.
Where third-party service providers process information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to use providers that maintain appropriate safeguards for the information they process.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.
However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, while we work to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, responding to communications, maintaining security, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and maintaining appropriate business records.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type and purpose of the information.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our websites and services are not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to address the situation.
11. External Links
Our websites and applications may contain links to external websites, applications, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites or services.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of external services before providing them with personal information.
12. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information.
You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing activities where applicable.
To make a privacy-related request, please contact us using the contact information provided below. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
13. Google Account Access and Revocation
If you have authorized Mk Visuals or one of our applications to access your Google account through OAuth, you can review or revoke that access through your Google Account’s security settings.
Revoking access may prevent the associated Google-based functionality from operating until authorization is provided again.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technologies, legal requirements, or privacy practices.
When changes are made, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
