Feline Rescue takes the following steps to ensure that personal information remains secure:
A donor’s personal information is retained in a secure database that is separate from the volunteer database. This database is only available to a limited number of individuals on a need-to-know basis. Although the database may contain personal information such as name, address, and donation history, credit card and/or banking information is not retained.
The Feline Rescue website does not retain donor information. Online donations are made through a secure form processed through Go Emerchant; this organization uses secure servers and encryption to protect financial and other personal information during transmission of donations directly to Feline Rescue’s bank account(s). Reports from these services are available to obtain address information and donation amounts; Feline Rescue would never receive credit card or bank account information.
Feline Rescue does not track visitors to the website. No information is gathered from the website; it provides information only. Feline Rescue does not collect personal information from our visitors other than what is supplied to us on a voluntary basis.
Individuals receive e-mail newsletters (e-news) from Feline Rescue if they expressly sign up for e-news on the Feline Rescue website, if they donate to the organization, or if they adopt a cat/kitten. The information that is gathered from subscribers to our e-news lists (including e-mail addresses) is not shared with other non-Feline Rescue affiliated organizations or companies. From time to time, Feline Rescue may send out e-mail messages that might include information about like-minded organizations and companies, but Feline Rescue does not provide them with access to personal information.
