Privacy Policy
We 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 policy applies to all information received, online and offline, as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications. To the extent any donations are processed through a third-party service provider, our donors’ information will only be used for purposes necessary to process the donation.
We have created this statement to demonstrate SPCA Tampa Bay’s firm commitment to your privacy. We do not collect information that personally identifies you when you visit our site – such as name/address/contact numbers – unless you choose to provide such information to us. Providing such information is strictly voluntary. This policy is your guide to how we will handle information we learn about you from your visit to our website.
Donor Confidentiality
Information concerning all transactions between a donor and the SPCA shall be held by the SPCA in strict confidence and may be publicly disclosed only with the permission of the donor. SPCA does not sell names or addresses of donors or volunteers to other organizations.
Facebook Posting Policy
SPCA Tampa Bay is committed to creating a community that encourages self-expression and mirrors the values of our organization, including respect for the rights, dignity and property of others. The organization’s Facebook page reflects this philosophy. We ask all fans to do their part to help us achieve the goal. In doing that, we ask you not to post content that:
- is threatening, abusive, obscene, indecent or objectionable
- is deceptive, false or misleading
- violates the intellectual property rights of other people
- is illegal
- references a third party website or is self-promoting spam
- is inappropriate, offensive or hateful
SPCA Tampa Bay reserves the right to remove any content or block users that violate our community guidelines, or that we determine are otherwise offensive to our community. All content must also comply with Facebook’s policies as well.
