1. Introduction
Help Stray Dogs is a Wyoming-based nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to rescuing stray dogs and supporting underfunded animal shelters across the state. Our website is used primarily to collect donations in support of our mission.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
2. Information We Collect
When you make a donation, we may collect your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and payment information. Payment details are processed securely by our third-party payment processor — we do not store your card information on our servers.
We also automatically collect basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, through cookies and standard analytics tools.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to process your donation, send you a receipt, communicate with you about our work, and comply with legal and tax reporting requirements. We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
4. Payment Security
All transactions are handled by a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor and transmitted over encrypted SSL/TLS connections. Your full card details are never stored on our systems.
5. Cookies
Our site uses cookies to ensure basic functionality and to understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as expected.
6. Data Retention
We retain donation records for a minimum of seven years as required by IRS regulations for 501(c)(3) organizations. Other data is kept only as long as necessary.
7. Third-Party Links
Our site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.
8. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us. You can also unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any message.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
