Our Commitment To Privacy
The Humane Society of Uvalde (HSU) is committed to respecting your right to privacy and to keeping your personal information private. You can visit the HSU website without telling us who you are or revealing any identifying information about yourself. However, because our website includes areas in which visitors can provide personal identifying information, we have developed this privacy policy to inform you of our policies and practices regarding information we collect about you.
This privacy policy relates to the URL http://hsuvalde.com. This website is operated by HSU for the benefit of its supporters and other visitors interested in helping animals. HSU reserves the right to modify or amend this privacy policy at any time and for any reason. Any changes to this privacy policy will be preceded by a notice posted to this privacy policy at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such change.

After you complete the donation form, you must complete the donation process by selecting a PayPal button that best fits your donation intention. Once you select one of the PayPal buttons located on our site, you are redirected to PayPal. All financial information is collected through PayPal. See their privacy policy here.
Other Information
We also collect other information that cannot identify you personally when you visit our website. This information includes your IP address and your domain name. We log these IP addresses and domain names, and aggregate them for system administration and to monitor the use of our site.

The Way We Use Personal Information
The primary purpose of gathering your personal information is to ensure that your donation is used exactly as you intend. We collect donations through PayPal, a secure and trusted online payments system. Before you make your actual donation using PayPal, however, we collect information about how you would like your donation to be used. We then use the personal information that you provide on the “Donation Form” page to match your donation intention with your monetary contribution in PayPal.
We may use the information you voluntarily provided to contact you regarding animal-related issues we feel you may be interested in, to keep you updated regarding HSU programs and/or events, and to extend an invitation to you to support our programs. We may also contact you if there is a question regarding the intended use of your donation monies. Every recipient of our electronic communications can quickly and easily “opt out” of future communications by following the instructions on any electronic communication we provide.
We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to “opt-out” or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
