At Adele Dog Rescue (powered by iTech Softwares), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website.

1. The data we collect

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Identity Data: includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier.
  • Contact Data: includes email address and telephone numbers.
  • Financial Data: includes payment card details (processed entirely via Stripe; we do not store full card data on our servers).
  • Transaction Data: includes details about payments to and from you and other details of donations you have made.

2. How we use your data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data to process your donation securely, send you a receipt, and contact you if there are issues with your transaction.

3. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. Payment transactions are fully encrypted using SSL technology and processed via our PCI-compliant payment gateway (Stripe).

By accessing this website, we assume you accept these terms and conditions. Do not continue to use our platform if you do not agree to take all of the terms and conditions stated on this page.

2. Donations and Refunds

All donations made through our platform are processed securely. As donations are philanthropic in nature, they are generally non-refundable.

3. User Conduct

You agree to use the platform only for lawful purposes. When leaving messages alongside your donation, you must not use offensive, defamatory, or threatening language. We reserve the right to remove public donor messages that violate these guidelines without prior notice.
