Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 1, 2026
Tailhaven Habitat, Inc. ("Tailhaven," “THI,” "we," "us," or "our") operates tailhavenhabitat.org (the "Website"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through the Website, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you. It applies to our Phase 1 Landing Page and communications that begin through that page.
Information We Collect
Information you provide. If you sign up for updates, contact us, or express interest in getting involved with Tailhaven, we collect the information you submit, such as your name, email address, any contact details or areas of interest requested by the form, and the contents of your message. Please do not send sensitive personal information through our Website forms.
Information collected when you visit. Our Website and its service providers may collect technical information such as your IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page, dates and times of visits, and information needed to operate and protect the Website. Cookies and similar technologies may collect some of this information, as described below.
How We Use Information
We use information collected through the Website to operate and maintain it, respond to inquiries and provide support, send updates to people who request them, follow up with people who express interest in getting involved with Tailhaven, notify people of relevant changes to the Website or our communications, understand how visitors use the Website and improve it, monitor the Website’s performance, detect, prevent, and address technical or security issues, maintain appropriate records, and comply with applicable law.
AI assisted work. We may use artificial intelligence tools to organize and summarize inquiries, manage contact information, draft communications, and plan follow-up related to Tailhaven’s activities. When we use these tools, information you provide may be processed by the companies that supply them. We remain responsible for reviewing how we use the tools and for our communications with you.
Signing up for updates does not obligate you to donate or participate in any Tailhaven activity. You can unsubscribe from our emailed updates at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website is built on Wix Studio. Wix may use cookies and similar technologies needed for the Website to function, remain secure, and remember certain settings. Additional technologies may be used to measure Website performance. You can manage cookies through your browser and, if available on the Website, our cookie settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect how the Website works.
If we add optional analytics, advertising tools, or other services that use cookies, we will update this policy and provide cookie choices where required by law. The cookies used can change when Website features or integrations change.
When We Share Information
We limit access to personal information to people who need it for their work with Tailhaven. We ask board members, staff, volunteers, and individual contractors with such access to sign a confidentiality agreement. Outside service providers, such as website, email, and AI platforms, may protect information through their own contracts, privacy policies, and security practices, in lieu of signing Tailhaven’s agreement.
We may use outside providers to host and operate the Website, manage forms and email communications, help us understand Website use, maintain security, and provide AI tools or other services described in this policy. These providers may have access to personal information needed to perform those services. We use providers whose applicable agreements and privacy practices address the protection and permitted use of that information.
We may disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with a legal obligation or lawful request, protect Tailhaven’s rights or property, prevent or investigate suspected misuse of the Website, protect the safety of Website visitors or others, or address a legal claim.
We do not sell the personal information you submit through the Website, nor will Tailhaven give your contact information to other organizations for their own marketing without your permission.
Other Websites
The Website may link to social media pages or other websites. If you follow a link to another service, its privacy practices apply there. Please review that service's privacy policy.
Data Storage and Security
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, including responding to requests, maintaining our communications records, and meeting legal obligations. We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Tailhaven and its service providers may store or process information in the United States or other countries, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live. We take reasonable steps in selecting and using providers to protect information as described in this policy.
Your Choices
You may unsubscribe from emailed updates at any time. You may also contact us to ask what personal information you have provided through the Website, request a correction or deletion, or ask a privacy question. We will respond in accordance with applicable law. Some information may need to be retained for legal, security, or recordkeeping reasons.
Children's Privacy
The Website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Website. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us so that we can address it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Website and Tailhaven's activities develop. We will post the updated policy here with a revised effective date. If a change materially affects how we handle information already collected, we will take any additional steps required by applicable law.
