We are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Last updated: September 2026
Information We Collect
When you submit an adoption, foster, volunteer, relinquishment, or other application or form through our website, we collect the personal information you choose to provide. This may include your name, address, phone number, email address, references, household details, and information about your current and past pets.
We also use website analytics and search performance tools to help us understand how visitors find and use our website and to improve its performance. These services may automatically collect limited technical information such as browser type, device type, pages visited, general geographic information, referring websites, and interactions with our website.
Some of our website forms are processed through third-party form services. Information you submit through these forms may therefore be transmitted to and processed by the service provider used to operate the form.
How We Use Your Information
Information submitted through our applications and forms is used to review and process your request, contact you regarding an adoption, foster, volunteer, relinquishment, or other inquiry, verify references where applicable, and coordinate care for the dogs in our program.
Website usage and search information may be used to understand website traffic, identify how visitors find our organization, monitor website performance, and improve our website and online resources.
If you voluntarily choose to join our mailing list, we may use the contact information you provide to send you newsletters, rescue updates, adoption information, fundraising information, events, and other communications from Before the Bridge Senior K9 Rescue. You may unsubscribe from these communications at any time.
We do not sell or rent your personal information. Information may be shared with authorized rescue volunteers, staff, and third-party service providers where reasonably necessary to operate our website, process forms, provide communications, or carry out the activities of the rescue.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information submitted through our website from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
Information submitted through website forms may be processed using third-party service providers that assist us with receiving, managing, and keeping track of submissions. Access to submitted information is limited to authorized individuals who require it for legitimate rescue purposes.
While we take reasonable precautions to protect personal information, no website, electronic transmission, or third-party online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to process your request, administer adoption, foster, volunteer, relinquishment, or other rescue-related activities, maintain appropriate organizational records, and meet any applicable legal or operational requirements.
Information provided for our mailing list may be retained until you unsubscribe or request that your information be removed.
Where third-party service providers are used, information may also be retained according to their applicable data-retention practices.
Cookies
Our website and the third-party services used on it may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website traffic and performance, process forms, and provide other website features.
We use analytics and website performance tools that may collect information about how visitors find and interact with our website. Third-party forms and mailing-list services may also use cookies or similar technologies as part of providing their services.
We do not sell personal information collected through our website.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features function.
Third-Party Services
We use third-party service providers to help operate certain parts of our website and organization, including website analytics, search performance monitoring, form processing and submission management, and mailing-list communications.
When you interact with these features, certain information may be processed by the applicable third-party provider in accordance with its own privacy practices and policies.
We make reasonable efforts to use reputable service providers and limit the information shared with them to what is reasonably necessary for the service being provided.
Your Rights & Contact
You may contact us to ask what personal information we hold about you, request corrections to your information, request deletion of your information where appropriate, or ask questions about how your information is handled.
You may also unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in our communications or by contacting us directly.
