We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

Service Providers

We may provide information to companies and service providers that help us operate the Website or provide requested services.

These may include website hosting, form, email, technology, security, storage, analytics, communications, and other service providers.

Animal-Control and Animal-Welfare Purposes

Miles of Hope

Miles of Hope is a separate nonprofit organization founded to help support All American Dogs.

When reasonably necessary for an animal-related purpose, All American Dogs may provide relevant information to Miles of Hope or receive relevant information from Miles of Hope.

Miles of Hope independently operates its own organization, website, adoption process, and privacy practices.

Information submitted directly to Miles of Hope is subject to Miles of Hope's own privacy policy.

Public Animal Information

Information concerning a missing or found animal may be publicly shared when reasonably necessary to assist with identification, location, or reunification.

4. Wix and Website Technology

The Website is hosted and operated using Wix.

Wix provides website hosting, storage, form functionality, security, and other website services.

Information submitted through the Website may therefore be processed or stored through Wix and its infrastructure and service providers.

Wix also explains that additional cookies and tracking technologies may be introduced through third-party applications and integrations used on a Wix website.

We do not intend for this Privacy Policy to represent that no third-party technology is used on the Website.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies may be used for:

• Essential Website functions;

• Security;

• Performance;

• Remembering settings;

• Analytics;

• Understanding Website usage; and

• Other Website functions.

Wix places certain essential cookies on websites it hosts. Additional cookies may be placed by third-party applications or integrations, depending on what is enabled on the Website.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate cookie choices or controls.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality.

6. Analytics and Third-Party Tracking

All American Dogs may use analytics or other third-party technologies to understand Website traffic, diagnose technical problems, improve Website performance, or understand how visitors interact with the Website.

The specific analytics or tracking services enabled on the Website may change.

Where third-party services collect information independently, their own privacy policies govern their processing of that information.

7. Email Communications

If you voluntarily subscribe to our email communications, we may use your email address to send newsletters, organizational updates, news, lost-and-found pet information, events, resources, and similar communications.

You may unsubscribe from promotional or newsletter communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in the applicable communication.

We may continue to send necessary administrative or service-related communications where appropriate.

8. Donations and Miles of Hope

The All American Dogs Website may include a donation button that directs visitors to a donation page operated by Miles of Hope, a separate nonprofit organization.

All American Dogs does not process the donation through its own Website payment system when the visitor is redirected to the Miles of Hope donation page.

Information submitted on the Miles of Hope donation page is governed by the privacy practices of Miles of Hope and the applicable payment processor.

All American Dogs does not control the privacy practices of that external donation page.

9. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, including adoption resources, Miles of Hope, social-media platforms, payment services, and other resources.

Once you leave the All American Dogs Website, the third party's privacy policy governs its handling of your information.

We encourage visitors to review third-party privacy policies before submitting personal information.

10. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information under our control.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should not submit highly sensitive information through a general Website form unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure process.

11. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including animal-control operations, animal-related records, communications, volunteer and employment administration, legal obligations, safety, dispute resolution, and organizational recordkeeping.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete or securely dispose of it, subject to legal, operational, recordkeeping, and safety requirements.

12. Children's Privacy

The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13 in circumstances where parental consent is legally required.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in circumstances requiring parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to address the information as required by applicable law.

Parents or guardians who have concerns about information submitted by a child may contact us at allamericandogs@gmail.com.

13. Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These may include, where applicable:

• The right to confirm whether personal information is being processed;

• The right to access personal information;

Email: allamericandogs@gmail.com

Please identify the nature of your request and provide enough information for us to determine what records are involved.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity before completing a request.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

If applicable law provides a right to appeal our response, we will provide instructions for submitting an appeal.

14. Texas Privacy Law

The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act ("TDPSA") provides certain Texas consumers with privacy rights and imposes obligations on covered businesses.

The TDPSA also contains exemptions, including exemptions for certain small businesses and certain types of information and processing.

All American Dogs will comply with the privacy requirements applicable to its business and processing activities.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to waive, limit, or diminish a privacy right provided by applicable law.

15. Employment Information

Information submitted through employment applications is used for employment-related purposes.

Employment information may be subject to laws and regulations that apply specifically to applicants and employees.

This Privacy Policy does not constitute a standalone background-check disclosure or authorization under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

If a background report is obtained from a consumer reporting agency for employment purposes, any legally required standalone disclosure, authorization, and adverse-action notices will be provided separately.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our Website, services, technology, organizational practices, or applicable laws change.

The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new Last Updated date.
