Privacy Policy

SafeHaven Humane Society is committed to respecting the privacy rights of our donors. The following policy describes how we collect, protect and use information we receive from our donors. SafeHaven Humane Society is responsible for this privacy policy.

What Information do we collect?

We collect personal information from you when you mail a donation or submit an online donation form, apply to volunteer or foster, share an adoption or volunteer story, provide feedback, sign up for email updates, and mail or respond to any other type of communication such as e-mail, mailed collateral or phone call.

What is our donor privacy policy?

SafeHaven Humane Society respects the privacy of our donors and is committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all fundraising efforts. We therefore do not share, loan, trade, rent or sell our donor list to any other non-affiliated organization.

We collect and use information about our donors including name, address, phone number, email address and mailing preferences. In addition, we keep a record of each donor’s giving history. This information is kept on file for IRS purposes and is also used by our Development Department to analyze overall giving patterns in order to make more accurate budget projections and plan for the future or our organization. Information on our donors is password protected and may only be accessed by individuals who need such information to perform their assigned duties for SafeHaven Humane Society. This includes individuals or companies who prepare mailings, enter or analyze data, visit donors, plan fundraising events, work in a fundraising capacity for the organization or prepare budgets and forecasts. The wishes of donors who prefer to remain anonymous will always be honored.

How do we use your information?

We may use the information we collect from you in the following ways:

To administer a promotion, survey or other website feature.

If you have provided your email address, we may send you periodic e-mails, to follow up on your inquiry specifically, or to inform you of SafeHaven Humane Society news, updates or services which may be of interest to you. If you would no longer like to receive such e-mails or change your mailing and communicating preferences, please refer to the “How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you have provided to us?” section below.

How do we protect visitor information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice. The term “outside parties” does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting company business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is necessary to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.

However, aggregate non-personally identifiable visitor information (such as web site traffic statistics) may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

How can you opt-out, remove, or modify information that you have provided to us?

To modify your e-mail, phone or mailed communication preferences or completely opt-out of receiving e-mail or mailings from us, please let us know by contacting us via email (marketing@safehavenhumane.com). There is always an ‘Unsubscribe’ link in all e-mail newsletters to allow you to do so yourself.
