Privacy Policy

Saving Pyrs In Need (SPIN) Rescue is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how our Facebook App integration operates with respect to your personal information.

Who We Are

SPIN Rescue is a nonprofit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving and rehoming dogs in need. Questions about this policy can be directed to us via email savingpyrsinneed@yahoo.com.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily submit it to us, specifically through our adoption application andfoster applicationforms. The information collected may include:

• Full name
• Email address
• Home address
• Phone number
• Any additional information you provide in response to application questions

We do not collect personal information from general visitors to our website. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising, and we do not have user accounts.

How We Use Your Information

Information submitted through our adoption or foster applications is used solely to:

• Evaluate your application and contact you about the status of your request
• Coordinate the adoption or fostering process
• Follow up as needed regarding a dog in our care

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or any other commercial purpose. Your information is accessed only by SPIN Rescue volunteers and staff involved in the adoption or foster process.

How Your Information Is Stored

Application submissions are received and stored through RescueGroups.org, a third-party platform used by animal rescue organizations to manage adoptions and fosters. Our volunteers review and process all applications through that platform. RescueGroups.org maintains its own privacy and security practices; we encourage you to review their Privacy Policy for details on how they handle data.

We do not store your application information independently of RescueGroups.org.

Facebook App & Event Integration

Our website uses a Facebook App integration to display SPIN Rescue's public events on our site. This integration works as follows:

• We access only publicly available event data posted on the SPIN Rescue Facebook Page.
• We do not request access to your personal Facebook profile, friends list, messages, or any private data.
• We do not collect or store information about individual Facebook users who view or interact with our events.
• The integration is used solely to publish our own organization's event listings on our website.

Our use of Facebook's platform and APIs complies with Meta's Platform Terms and Developer Policies.

Third-Party Services

Our website may link to external sites (such as Facebook and RescueGroups.org) that have their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of those sites and encourage you to review their policies directly.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
