The Humane Society of Greater Miami (“we,” or “us”) is committed to respecting the privacy of our donors and to ensuring that donor information be treated with security and confidentiality. The Humane Society of Greater Miami will not sell, share or trade our donors’ names or personal information with any other entity, nor send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations.

This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you, how we use the information we collect, with whom we share it, how we protect it, and the choices we offer you regarding our collection and use of such information when you visit our sites hosted by Donor Drive. The Humane Society of Greater Miami’s Donor Drive-hosted sites all display the name “Donor Drive” in the footer of each page on those sites and includes www.walkfortheanimalsmiami.com. This Privacy Policy also describes the types of information we may collect from you when you use the MoveSpring mobile application. All of the aforementioned sites and mobile applications are collectively referred to herein as the “Services.”

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect personal information about you, meaning information that can uniquely identify you, from various sources, such as:

• Directly from you when you use the Services, such as when you register for an account; upload, view, or download certain features or content; participate in events; enter contests or sweepstakes; or donate;

• Social networks through which you may access the Services or otherwise interact with us; and

• Our affiliates, service providers, business partners, and other third parties.
  ​

The personal information we collect about you may include, without limitation:

We use a third-party payment processor to process payments and donations made to us. In connection with the processing of such payments and donations, we do not obtain your payment card information.

When you use the Services, we may also collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. We may also use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that collect information about use of the Services and user traffic. The information we may collect by automated means may include, without limitation:

• Information about the devices you use to access the Services (such as the IP address and the type of the device, operating system, and web browser);

• Dates, times, and duration of use of the Services (including whether you are a repeat or first-time visitor); and

• Information on actions taken when using the Services (such as page views and website navigation patterns).

The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may include personal information, or we may maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve and personalize our Services, including by enabling us to identify and authenticate users.

In order to delete your data, please contact The Humane Society of Greater Miami at 305-749-1825. Note some of your data may still be stored on third party sites.

2. HOW WE RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

Your web browser may let you choose your preference as to whether you want to allow the collection of information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. At this time, the Services do not respond to the preferences you may have set in your web browser regarding such collection of your information, and the Services may continue to collect information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.

 

3. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND USE OF COOKIES

We work with a number of third-party service providers to provide the Services to you.

They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content and for other purposes. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used.
