✅ This version now explicitly covers U.S. law compliance (CCPA + COPPA), while maintaining a professional yet approachable tone for your veterinary clients.

Would you like me to also add a HIPAA compliance note (since veterinary clinics sometimes handle sensitive health-related data for pets and owners), or keep it strictly consumer privacy-focused?
