Privacy Policy

Carson Cats Rescue ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information that you provide through our website carsoncats.org (the "Site") and through our programs.

Information we collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you contact us, submit an adoption or foster application, sign up for our newsletter, donate, or otherwise engage with our programs. This may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, information about your household and existing pets, and any content you include in a message to us.

We also collect limited technical information automatically when you visit our Site, such as your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and pages viewed. This information helps us understand how visitors use our Site and improve it over time.

How we use information

We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiries, process adoption and foster applications, send you updates you have requested, acknowledge donations, and operate and improve our programs. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Donations

Donations are processed by our third-party partner, Every.org. Carson Cats Rescue does not receive or store your payment card information. Please review Every.org's privacy policy for details on how your donation information is handled.

Cookies and analytics

Our Site may use cookies and privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand aggregate usage patterns. You can control cookies through your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Sharing information

We share information only with service providers who help us operate (for example, our email newsletter platform and donation processor), when required by law, or to protect the safety of a cat, person, or the organization.

Your choices

You may opt out of email communications at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email or by contacting us. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing info@carsoncats.org.

Children's privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No system is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
