Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 01, 2026

​

At DoGood Dog Rescue ("we," "us," or "our"), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and make a donation.

​

1. Information We Collect

Because our operations are straightforward, we only collect the information necessary to process your donations, issue tax receipts, and keep you reasonably informed about our work.

When you make a donation or contact us, we may collect:

  • Contact Information: Your first and last name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.

  • Donation History: Records of the amounts and dates of your contributions.

  • Communication Preferences: Whether you have opted in to receive updates or newsletters from us.

Financial Information: We do not directly collect, store, or process your credit card numbers or bank account details. All online donations are processed securely through our third-party payment provider, Zeffy.

​

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect solely to fulfill our charitable mission. Specifically, we use it to:

  • Process and acknowledge your donations.

  • Issue and deliver official tax receipts.

  • Respond to your inquiries or support requests.

  • Send you occasional updates about our charity's impact (only if you have opted in to receive them).

  • Comply with legal, accounting, and regulatory requirements.

​

3. How We Share Your Information

We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We use Zeffy to process donations. When you donate, you provide your information directly through Zeffy’s platform. Zeffy shares your basic contact and donation details with us so we can issue your tax receipt and thank you, but they keep your payment credentials secure. You can review Zeffy’s Privacy Policy.

  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, tax reporting requirements, or similar legal processes.

 

4. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use basic "cookies" to ensure the site functions properly and to help us understand how visitors interact with our page. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. You can adjust your browser settings to decline cookies at any time.

​

5. Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including any legal or tax record-keeping requirements (typically up to 7 years for tax records).

​​

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Review and Update: Request access to or correction of the personal information we have on file for you.

  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from our non-essential communications (like newsletters) at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in our emails or by contacting us directly.
