Personally
Identifiable Information from Online Surveys, Visitor
Information Request areas, Email and Postal Mail List
areas, Adoption area, Donation area and Online Ordering
Areas
Our online
surveys, visitor information request areas, Email and
Postal Mail List areas, adoption area, donation area,
online ordering areas, and other site areas ask visitors
for personally identifiable contact information (such
as their name, address, telephone number and email address),
unique identifiers (such as their ID information and
credit card information) and demographic information
(like their zip codes) and may be placed in a Morris
Animal Refuge database. We use contact data from our
online surveys, visitor information request areas, Email
and Postal Mail List areas, adoption area, donation
area and online ordering areas and other site areas
to send the user information about the Refuge and provide
customer service. We may use contact data from our online
surveys, Email and Postal Mail List areas, adoption
area, and other site areas other than the online ordering
areas, and donation area for support solicitation for
the Morris Animal Refuge.
We use the
data provided in adoption applications to investigate
the suitability of the applicant for animal adoption
from the Refuge. We require adoption applicants to proactively
acknowledge their assent for the use of this information
for adoption investigative purposes. If the assent of
the applicant is not given we do not process the application
nor utilize the application information. Adopter applicant
and adopter records are considered permanent records
by the Refuge in conformance with the Refuge's long
standing adoption policies.
We use ordering
information to complete the order transaction. Requests
to remove users from our order/customer database can
only be complied with after such time has elapsed which
will ensure the Refuge's compliance with all applicable
tax codes and other laws of the Federal, State, and
local governments.
We use donation
information to complete the donation transaction. Requests
to remove users from our donation database can only
be complied with after such time has elapsed which will
ensure the Refuge's compliance with all applicable tax
codes and other laws of the Federal, State, and local
governments.
The contact
information provided in adoption applications, order
forms, and donation forms is also used to contact the
visitor when necessary.
Users may
opt-out of receiving future mailings and remove themselves
from databases as per the limitations as discussed above:
see the choice/opt-out section below. Unique identifiers
are collected from Web site visitors to verify the user's
identity and for use as account numbers in our record
system, as well as to complete order transactions. Demographic
and profile data is also collected at our site and may
be placed in a Morris Animal Refuge database. We may
use this data to tailor our visitor's experience at
our site.
On some pages,
you can submit information about other people. For example,
if you make a donation online on behalf of someone else,
you will need to submit their name and address. In this
circumstance, the types of personal information collected
are: Name Address Phone Number (etc.) We do not add
this donation based third party information to our databases
as these parties have not had the opportunity to opt-out
of being included in the database. We do collect information
from third parties based on adoption applications, as
discussed above, and include such information in our
applicant adopter and adopter files.
We never
use or share the personally identifiable information
provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones
describe above without also providing an opportunity
to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses
of the personally identifiable information prior to
the use of such information.
We may use
non-identifying and aggregate information to better
design our website and to share with advertisers and
sponsors. For example, we may tell an advertiser or
sponsor that x number of individuals visited
a certain area on our website, or that y number
of men or z number of women filled out one of
our registration forms, but would not disclose anything
that could be used to identify those individuals.
