Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 8, 2024
At Life Long Paws Foundation (the “Foundation”), we respect the privacy of our website visitors (“you/your”) and are committed to protecting the personal information you provide through our website. This privacy policy governs the URL lifelongpaws.org (the “website”) and certain electronic communications that the Foundation may send out. This website is owned and operated by the Foundation for the benefit of its members and other visitors interested in the protection and insurance of pets.
You can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any identifying information about yourself. However, because our website includes areas where you can provide personally identifying information, we have developed this privacy policy to explain how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information when you visit our website:
Information You Provide
You may choose to voluntarily provide personal information when you send us an email or complete any of our online forms, such as when you request information from us, make a donation, subscribe to our newsletter, request to become a member, sign up for mobile text alerts, or forward a web page. Such information may include your name, mailing address and email address; it may also include a mobile phone number, the email addresses of those to whom you forward the Foundation electronic content and any other information collected in the forms. You may be asked to provide credit card or other financial information to become a member of the Foundation, contribute to the Foundation, purchase certain information or materials from the Foundation, or subscribe to various Foundation publications. You have the right not to provide personal or financial information and to opt out of receiving communications from us.
Non-Personal Information
The Foundation also collects certain other information that cannot identify you personally when you visit our website. This information includes your IP address and your domain name. The website logs these IP addresses and domain names and aggregates them for system administration and to monitor the use of our site. We use the aggregated information to measure the number of visits to our site, the average time spent on our site, the number of pages viewed, and various other site statistics. This monitoring helps us to provide a more useful and engaging online experience and helps us to improve the quality of our content.
The Foundation uses cookies to make the results available for your on-site searches. Cookies are not used for any other reason on this site. A cookie is a small file sent out by a website, accepted by the user’s browser, and placed on the user’s hard drive. You can always set your browser to warn of cookies being placed and then choose which cookies you want to accept. The Foundation does not match any information gathered by cookies with personal information you may have voluntarily submitted to the Foundation.
The Foundation may use remarketing with Google Adwords and analytics to display content-specific advertisements to visitors who have previously visited our site when those visitors go to other websites that have the Google Display Network implemented. The Foundation also may use Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. You may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at any time. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. We may receive information from third-party sources, social media platforms, people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected on social media platforms, and other third parties.
2. How We May Use Your Information
Improvement and Functionality
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and improve our services
- Communicate with you about updates, events, and donation opportunities
- Process donations and maintain donor records
- Personalize your experience on our website
- Ensure the security and proper functioning of our website
- To help us identify ways that we can continue to serve you in the best way possible
Contact and Sharing
We may use the information you voluntarily provided to contact you regarding animal and Foundation-related issues we feel you may be interested in, to keep you updated regarding the Foundation’s programs, and to extend an invitation to you to support our programs. We may also send such information to the people whose email addresses you provide if you forward Foundation electronic content. When we do so, our sole intent is to enlarge our family of informed animal advocates and organizational supporters.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, processing donations, or conducting our nonprofit activities. These parties are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of your information. We may also disclose information if required by law or if necessary to protect our rights, the safety of our users, or the public.
3. Security and Links
We implement a variety of security measures, including generally accepted, industry-standard security systems, software, and encryption technologies—Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)—for the secure transfer of personal and financial data. This includes using industry-standard security systems to protect credit card processing information. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we can make our best effort to protect the information you provide.
From time to time, we may link to other websites not affiliated with the Foundation. We attempt to link only to those websites that also respect a visitor’s privacy and the goals of the Foundation. However, we cannot be responsible for the content or policies of third-party websites. Please check with these third-party organizations or companies for their specific privacy policies.
