We do not:
Sell your personal information.
Share your personal information with third parties for purposes of marketing or financial gain.
Knowingly track or facilitate tracking outside of our website, or use tracking buttons or beacons that may track you outside of our website.
This Privacy Policy works in conjunction with our Terms of Use.
Information We Collect and How We Use It
In the course of using the Website, we may collect your email addresses for our payment information for donations, and certain personal information when you sign up to be a volunteer or to adopt an animal, such as email address and phone number.
We may also aggregate non-personal information about how the Website is used. We use IP addresses (which are not linked to personal information of any individual user) to analyze trends, administer our website, and track volume of usage. This information helps us measure the number of visitors to various sections of this website and to help make the website more useful.
Cat Rescue Team does not sell names or other personal information about our website users and subscribers to mass marketers or any other entity, nor do we engage in exchanges of such information. We do not share donor information with other organizations. Online credit card transactions and fund transfers are processed through a third party service provider.
We protect our database by means of various technical and procedural measures, and we restrict access to your information by unauthorized persons.
We reserve the right to use personal information to protect the security or integrity of our Website; to protect against a threat to personal safety or destruction of property; to protect against legal liability; or to cooperate with government officials or parties in litigation, or as otherwise required by law.
Privacy of Children
We do not knowingly solicit data from children or knowingly reach out to children under the age of 14.
Anti-Spam Policy and Your Opt-Out Rights
We are committed to permission-based communication and preventing the spread of SPAM or other forms of unsolicited emails. If you have received an email update in error, you may remove your information from our email database by clicking the unsubscribe at the bottom of the email. This will remove you from email updates.
Even after you opt out from receiving update messages, you may receive administrative messages from us. For example, after the year-end, under certain circumstances, we are required to send an email to donors with the total amount of donations received during the year from that donor. We may also send confirmation of receipt of a donation, or respond to an inquiry from you. Unless you have opted-in for email updates, you should not receive additional email outside of administrative circumstances such as these.
Commitment to Data Security
Cat Rescue Team takes precautions to maintain a secure website and to safeguard data from unauthorized use. We undertake security practices, including measures to help restrict web access to or inappropriate use of sensitive data; and employ software to prevent and monitor for breaches to the best of our ability.
