Whisker Protection Program
Whisker Protection Program ("Whisker Protection Program," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of everyone who visits our website, supports our mission, or interacts with our programs — including donors, adopters, foster volunteers, event participants, and newsletter subscribers. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website or providing information to us, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways, depending on how you interact with us: information you provide directly (name, email, payment details), adoption/foster application details, automatically collected technical information, and data from third-party partners. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary to process donations or applications.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our site and to improve your experience. This may include tools like Google Analytics or Meta Pixel to measure the performance of our content and social media campaigns.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party sites, such as our donation platform, social media pages, or partner organizations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
Donor and Financial Information
Donations made through our website are processed by secure third-party payment providers. We do not store full credit card numbers on our own systems. Donor information is used only for gift processing, receipting, and communicating our appreciation and impact — never sold or rented to outside organizations.
Children's Privacy
Our website is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without parental involvement. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us so we can remove it.
Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no online system can guarantee complete security.
