We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. It does not apply to other websites you may reach through links on our site; those sites have their own privacy policies.
What we collect
You never have to give us personal information to browse this website. Some features, like our adoption application, lost and found reports, and newsletter sign-up, ask for details such as your name, email address, phone number and mailing address so we can respond to you.
How we use it
We use the information you provide only to process your request (for example, reviewing an adoption application, which may include contacting your references, veterinarian or landlord), to respond to you, and, if you sign up, to send our newsletter. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
Service providers
Some features are provided by trusted third parties who handle your information on our behalf: online donations (PayPal), newsletter sign-ups (our email provider), adoptable pet listings (Petfinder), volunteer scheduling (Volgistics), and maps (Google). Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.
Cookies
Like most websites, our site and these services may use cookies, small files stored by your browser, to make features work and to understand how the site is used. You can set your browser to block cookies, but some features may not work properly.
Keeping information secure
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us from loss, misuse or alteration.
Questions or changes
To ask a question, or to request that we update or delete your information, contact us at [email protected]. If we change this policy, we’ll post the updated version on this page.
