Last Updated: March 19, 2026
Welcome to the Privacy Policy of Rspca East Branch. Your privacy is very important to us, and we are committed to protecting it. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.
Information We Collect
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information about your device and your browsing activity. This information helps us understand how our website is used and allows us to improve your experience. The types of information we may collect include:
- IP Address: Your device's unique identifier on the internet.
- Browser Type: The type of web browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
- Operating System: The operating system of your device (e.g., Windows, macOS, Android, iOS).
- Pages Visited: The specific pages you view on our website, the time spent on those pages, and the sequence of pages visited.
This data is primarily used for analytical purposes to help us understand website traffic, improve content, and enhance the overall user experience on our site, ensuring we provide relevant information about our charitable work.
Cookies
Our website uses "cookies" to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site.
We use cookies for various purposes, including:
- Session Management: To remember your preferences and ensure the website functions correctly during your visit.
- Analytics: To help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information anonymously, which informs our website improvements.
- Remembering Preferences: To store your settings and preferences for future visits.
You have the option to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website's features.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services, such as analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics), to monitor and analyze the use of our website. These third parties may have access to your non-personally identifiable information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
These services help us understand visitor behavior and improve our website's functionality and content, ensuring we can better serve our community and animals. They are carefully selected to ensure your privacy is respected.
Advertising
Rspca East Branch does not typically engage in personalized or targeted advertising using the information collected directly through our website. Our primary focus is on providing information about our charitable work and opportunities to support our cause.
However, we may occasionally run general awareness campaigns on third-party platforms (e.g., social media). In such cases, these platforms may use their own cookies or tracking technologies to show you our campaigns based on your general browsing behavior, not on specific data collected by Rspca East Branch from your direct website visit. You should refer to the privacy policies of those third-party platforms for information on their advertising practices and opt-out options.
Children's Privacy (Under 13)
Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete such information from our records.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately through the details provided in the "Contact Us" section below.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
