What information may be collected
We may receive information that you choose to provide when you contact NWWBR or use one of the services linked from this website. Depending on the purpose, that information may include your name, email address, telephone number, general location, household information, pet history, veterinary information, foster or adoption information, volunteer interests, surrender information, donation information, and other details you voluntarily submit.
The public NWWBR website itself does not currently create public user accounts or accept public comments. Some forms and transactions are handled by third-party services described below.
Technical information
Like most websites, our hosting provider and website software may process basic technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, timestamps, and security or server log information. WordPress and service providers may also use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for site operation, security, or administration.
Why we use it
- Respond to questions and requests
- Review adoption and foster applications
- Evaluate owner-surrender requests
- Coordinate volunteer opportunities
- Coordinate veterinary, foster, adoption, and rescue operations
- Process or acknowledge donations through our service providers
- Maintain records needed for rescue operations
- Operate, troubleshoot, and protect the website
Forms, applications, donations, and merchandise
Some activities linked from workingdogsnw.org are provided by other companies or platforms. For example, adoption and foster applications may be handled through AnimalsFirst, owner-surrender information may be submitted through Google Forms, donations may be processed through Zeffy, and merchandise is provided through the NWWBR store hosted by Fourthwall.
When you leave workingdogsnw.org or submit information directly to one of those services, that provider’s own privacy practices and terms apply. NWWBR may receive information from those services as needed to carry out the activity you requested.
We do not sell personal information.
NWWBR does not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers, veterinary clinics, rescue partners, foster or adoption personnel, professional advisors, or other parties when reasonably necessary to respond to your request, operate the rescue, protect animals or people, comply with law, or protect the rights and safety of NWWBR and others.
Keeping information only as needed
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for rescue operations, recordkeeping, legal or insurance obligations, and the purpose for which it was collected. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no website, email system, or online service can guarantee absolute security.
This website is intended for adults.
Our adoption, foster, volunteer, surrender, and donation processes are intended to be completed by adults. We do not knowingly seek personal information directly from children through this website.
