Website Privacy Policy
Feral Fanciers, Inc. (“Feral Fanciers”) believes strongly in respecting the privacy of those who visit its website (“Users”) and does collect or share personal information about Users except in the limited circumstances described in this Privacy Policy. Feral Fanciers uses its website (the www.feralfanciers.org domain) to provide information about its work to raise public awareness. In the process, data may be exchanged between Feral Fanciers, servers, Users, and their browsers.
This Privacy Policy sets forth the standards that Feral Fanciers follows with regard to all activities undertaken and information provided by Users. It does not apply to any other information collected by Feral Fanciers by any other means.
I. Information Collected.
Feral Fanciers collects Personally Identifiable Information from Third Party Service Providers who have processed payments or donations on behalf of Feral Fanciers but does not directly collect Personally Identifiable Information through its website. “Personally Identifiable Information” (“PII”) is information that would allow someone to identify or contact a User, such as a User’s name, organization, address, and e-mail address. PII does not include aggregated information or information about Users that, by itself, does not permit the identification of a specific individual. For example, statistics about how many persons visited Feral Fanciers’s website last month is not PII. Feral Fanciers does not require Users to register or provide PII to view the Feral Fanciers homepage or any other areas of the Feral Fanciers website. There are occasions when Feral Fanciers requests PII in order to provide Users with specific services. For example, PII is collected from Third Party Service Providers to enable Users to sign up for newsletters or other information services.
“Non-personally Identifiable Information” (“NII”) is information about User behavior that is not associated with a User’s name, contact information or other PII. Examples of such data would be IP addresses, browser types, and access times. Feral Fanciers may use this information to customize Feral Fanciers’ website for Users, but shall not include or refer to PII, such as a User’s e-mail address, when using this type of data.
“Aggregated Information” (“AI”) refers to information Feral Fanciers gathers by compiling NII to provide summaries of use of Feral Fanciers ’s website. Feral Fanciers may use AI to understand the interests of Users as a group, but such AI is not linked to individual Users’ PII. Given the non-personally identifiable nature of this information, there are no restrictions under this Privacy Policy upon Feral Fancier’s right to aggregate this information and Feral Fanciers may share this AI with third parties and use this information in any way.
II. Opting Out of Communications
Users may opt out of receiving communications from Feral Fanciers, or correct or update PII previously provided to Feral Fanciers, by contacting Feral Fanciers as follows:
III. Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information
Feral Fanciers does not share any User’s PII with any third party without the consent of the User, except that Feral Fanciers may, pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement that prohibits third parties from using any User’s PII for direct marketing purposes, share such information with third-party service providers who perform functions on behalf of Feral Fanciers, including without limitation credit card transaction processing, electronic distributions, and mailings. Feral Fanciers will not sell, exchange, or release Users’ PII to any third party, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws or valid legal processes, to protect the rights and property of Feral Fanciers, or to provide the services or information a User has requested. Users are informed of the terms of use at the time PII is provided through a link to the terms on a Feral Fanciers webpage. For example, Users can opt out from receiving future newsletters at any time by following the instructions in section II above. Feral Fanciers uses third parties to process credit card transactions. Such third parties receive the credit card number and other PII only to verify credit card numbers and to process credit card transactions in a secure environment. Feral Fanciers does not store credit card information. Please see “VI. Links to Third-Party Websites” below.
