Donations and Payment Information

If you make a donation or other payment through our website, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider. RMPR may receive information about the transaction, but we may not directly store complete credit or debit card information.

Your use of a third-party payment service may also be subject to that provider's privacy policy and terms.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to RMPR emails, we may use your email address to send you rescue updates, event information, fundraising communications, and other RMPR news.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the email. We may still send transactional or administrative communications when necessary.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function properly, remember preferences, understand website traffic, and improve the visitor experience.

We may also use third-party analytics or website services that collect information about how visitors interact with the site. You can generally control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use services provided by third parties, including donation platforms, email services, social media platforms, mapping services, embedded content, analytics providers, or other tools.

RMPR is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those providers before submitting personal information.

How We Share Information

We may share personal information with service providers that assist RMPR with operating our website, processing donations, managing communications, supporting rescue operations, or providing other services on our behalf.

We may also disclose information when required by law, when necessary to protect RMPR, our animals, volunteers, website visitors, or others, or in connection with an organizational transaction.

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Data Retention

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain organizational records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and support RMPR operations.

Children's Privacy

RMPR's website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the situation.

Your Choices

You may contact RMPR to request that we update or correct personal information you have provided to us. You may also request to stop receiving marketing communications at any time.

Certain information may need to be retained when required for legal, financial, administrative, or organizational purposes.
