Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you choose to share with us through this website. This can include your name, email address, phone number, donation details, and any information you include when getting in touch with us. We may also collect certain information automatically when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, time spent on the site, and general website activity.

How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to respond to messages and inquiries, send newsletters or updates you have signed up for, process donations, improve the website, understand how visitors use the site, keep our records up to date, and support the ongoing work of Rescue Ranchito. We only use your information in ways that are relevant to running our website, communicating with supporters, and carrying out our mission.
 
 
Donations
Donations made through our website are processed securely through Donorbox and its payment partners. When you make a donation, you may be asked to provide information such as your name, contact details, billing information, and payment details. We do not store full payment card details on our website. Because donations are processed through Donorbox, your information may also be handled according to Donorbox’s own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their Privacy Policy if you would like more information about how donation data is processed.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with trusted third-party providers only when needed to run our website and services. This may include Wix, Donorbox, and payment processors connected to donations. We may also share information where required by law, or where necessary to protect our website, our organization, or the people who engage with us.

Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information shared with us through this website. That said, no online system can ever be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
