Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Contact form: name, email, subject, and message.
• Volunteer signup: name, email, phone (optional), interests, availability, and any message you provide.
• Newsletter: email address and the page where you subscribed.
• Donations: name, email, donation amount, and billing details. Payment card information is collected and processed by our payment processor (Stripe) — we never see or store full card numbers.
• Account login (admin only): email and authentication tokens.
• Technical data: basic server logs (IP, user agent, page accessed) used to operate and secure the site.

How we use your information

• To respond to your message, volunteer interest, or adoption inquiry.
• To send newsletters, event updates, and program news (only if you subscribe).
• To process donations and provide tax receipts.
• To send transactional confirmations from notify.thethrivetogether.com.
• To operate, secure, and improve the website.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone, ever.

Service providers

We rely on a small number of vetted providers to run this site: our hosting and database provider, Stripe (donation processing), and our transactional email provider. These providers only receive the information necessary to perform their service and are contractually required to protect it.

Email & unsubscribe

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can also manage your email preferences at /unsubscribe. Transactional confirmations (e.g., donation receipts) are sent even if you unsubscribe from the newsletter, because they relate to a specific request you made.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies needed to operate the site (e.g., to keep an admin logged in). We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

Data retention

We keep contact, volunteer, and donation records as long as needed to serve our mission and meet legal/tax obligations, and then delete them in line with our Document Retention Policy.

Your choices

You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email thethrivetogetherdayton@gmail.com or call (937) 503-2076.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will change when we do.
