Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 14, 2026

1. Introduction

The Friction Pathfinders for Veterinarians (“we,” “our,” or “us”) provides veterinary business consulting. This Privacy Policy describes information collected through our website and related inquiry, scheduling, and email signup tools. Separate client agreements may address information handled in consulting engagements.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily submit through contact forms, email signup forms, scheduling services, or direct communications. This may include your name, email address, phone number, practice or business name, scheduling preferences, and the contents of your inquiry. Our website does not offer visitor document uploads.

Website tools may also collect IP addresses, browser and device information, pages visited, referral sources, cookie identifiers, and interaction data.

3. Use of Information

We use information submitted through the website and related tools for the following purposes:

  • Respond to business inquiries
  • Coordinate consultations
  • Provide requested email updates
  • Evaluate website functionality and marketing performance

4. Confidential Business Information

Please do not submit passwords, payment card details, Social Security numbers, personnel files, client records, or other sensitive or confidential information through general website forms or email. Contact us to arrange an appropriate method if information is needed for an engagement. Submitting a website inquiry does not establish a consulting engagement or a confidentiality agreement.

5. Third-Party Services & Website Tools

The following providers support website management, inquiries, scheduling, and email subscriptions:

  • Elfsight: contact forms
  • Calendly: external consultation scheduling
  • ActiveHosted.com: email signup forms

Information submitted through embedded forms or external scheduling pages is processed by the relevant provider under its privacy terms and our account settings. Advertising technologies may also transmit identifiers and browsing activity to advertising providers for measurement or personalization. These technologies operate separately from information you voluntarily submit in a form.

6. Cookies

Website and third-party tools may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies for functionality, measurement, and advertising. You can manage cookies and tracking permissions through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect website features and does not necessarily prevent every form of data collection.

7. Data Sharing

Information may be processed by providers supporting forms, scheduling, email delivery, hosting, website management, and marketing measurement. We may also disclose information when required by law or as necessary to protect legal rights. External platforms may process information under their own privacy policies.

8. Advertising & Privacy Choices

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and advertising preferences through the relevant advertising platform or account. These controls may be specific to a browser, device, or account and may not stop all advertising or data collection. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in those messages.

For questions about website tracking, available privacy choices, or a request concerning your information, email James.Keil@FrictionPathfinder.com. Rights and exceptions depend on applicable law.

9. Data Security

No online transmission or storage method is completely secure. Do not send sensitive records through general contact forms or email. If an engagement requires confidential information, contact us to arrange an appropriate exchange method.

10. Your Privacy Rights

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to ask about its use and retention. Available rights and exceptions depend on applicable law. Please identify the request and the email address or other contact information associated with your interaction. Do not include sensitive identity documents in your initial message.

11. Children’s Privacy

This website is directed to veterinary practice owners, managers, and other business professionals, rather than children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so the matter can be reviewed.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

Terms of Use

Last updated: September 14, 2026

These Terms govern access to and use of The Friction Pathfinders for Veterinarians website, including its content, forms, resources, and links to scheduling or subscription services. By using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, discontinue use. Consulting services are subject to a separate engagement agreement.

1. Website Purpose

This website provides general information about veterinary business consulting, including human resources, financial management, operations, governance, and risk and compliance. Visitors may request consultations, submit inquiries, and sign up for updates.

2. General Information, Not Individualized Advice

Website content is educational and does not constitute individualized legal, tax, accounting, investment, or clinical veterinary advice. Obtain advice appropriate to your circumstances from a qualified professional. Any consulting or accounting-related work must be separately agreed in writing.

3. No Automatic Consulting Relationship

Visiting the website, submitting a form, subscribing to email, using a calculator, or booking a consultation does not by itself create a consulting engagement. Scope, fees, responsibilities, and confidentiality obligations should be set out in a separate written agreement.

4. Urgent Matters & Professional Assistance

This website is not an emergency service and does not provide clinical veterinary care. Do not rely on website communications for urgent business deadlines or animal health emergencies. Contact the relevant qualified professional directly.

5. Consultations, Forms, & Communications

Provide accurate, current information when submitting inquiries or scheduling requests. Meeting availability and details are subject to confirmation. Any fees, cancellation terms, deliverables, and service commitments are governed by the applicable engagement agreement, rather than the act of submitting a form.

6. Electronic Communications

When you send an inquiry, we may respond using the contact details you provide. Marketing subscriptions are separate from general inquiries. Electronic communications can involve security risks, so do not transmit sensitive records through general website channels.

7. Privacy

Please also review our Privacy Policy, Accessibility Policy, Electronic Communications Policy, and Disclaimer. A signed engagement agreement governs services provided under that agreement if it conflicts with general website terms.

8. Intellectual Property

Website text, graphics, branding, photographs, videos, code, templates, and other materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Ownership remains with the applicable rights holders.

You may view the site and use resources as expressly permitted. You may not reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit protected materials without permission from the relevant rights holder, except as permitted by law.

We do not control their availability or content. Contact us if an external tool prevents access to information about our services.

11. Website Availability & Accuracy

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify the website operator against third-party claims resulting from your unlawful use of the website or infringement of another party’s rights through materials you submit. This provision does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be shifted to you.

15. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the website shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Texas, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

  • Durling Digital manages website operations within its agreed scope
