Financials & Privacy Statement

Donor Privacy Statement

The Jacksonville Humane Society (JHS) respects the privacy of its donors and has put in place a Donor Privacy Policy to honor these rights. JHS collects and maintains the following types of donor information when it is voluntarily provided to us:

• Contact information such as name, address, telephone number and e-mail address
• Giving information
• Information on events attended, publications received and special requests for program information
• Information provided by the donor in the form of comments and suggestions

This confidential information is kept on file for IRS purposes. It is also used to analyze overall giving patterns in order to make more accurate budget projections, as well as to understand donors’ interests in our mission and to update them on the organization’s plans and activities. This information may be shared with staff, board members, and consultants only on a confidential and need-to-know basis.

JHS does not sell, rent, trade or share its donor list with any other organization. JHS never sends out mailings on behalf of other organizations.

It is the policy of JHS to communicate with donors according to their expressed preferences whenever possible. JHS will discontinue or change the method used to contact any person upon that person’s oral or written request directed to the organization. Upon a person’s (or a person’s authorized representative’s) request that JHS discontinue further contact, the person’s name and address will be promptly modified in the JHS donor database to ensure that no further contact is made with the person.

We are committed to maintaining your trust and want you to understand when and with whom we may share Personal Information collected about you. We do not share your Personal Information with any third parties for marketing purposes or any other reason, except as outlined herein. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. SMS messages will only come from Jacksonville Humane Society any where your phone number is submitted. You may opt in or out of text messages at any time.
