Our Privacy
Policy
In general,
you can visit this Web site without telling us who you are
or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers
collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of
visitors. Our web servers also seek (as many Web sites do)
may place a "cookie" (a small data file) on your computer's
hard drive which allows the server to determine the computer
when it visits again, in order to track statistical
information about navigation to and throughout certain areas
of our site, and to GCAPA's promotions on other sites. This
cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data,
and the information that is tracked is used only for
internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation and to
measure the effectiveness of our promotional placements, and
is not shared with anyone other than GCAPA's affiliates and
contractors who assist us in these efforts and are bound to
confidentiality. However, if you prefer not to accept
cookies, you can set your browser to reject them or to alert
you before one is placed.
In
addition, there are portions of this Web site where we may
need to collect personal information from you for a specific
purpose, such as to provide you with certain information you
request. The information collected from you may include your
name, address, telephone, fax number, or e-mail address.

Use of
Collected Information
Domain name
information that we collect is not used to personally
identify you and instead is aggregated to measure the number
of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed,
etc. We use this information to measure the use of our site
and to improve the content of our site.
When other
information is collected from you, such as your name and
e-mail address, we generally let you know at the time of
collection how we will use the personal information.
Usually, we use the personal information you provide only to
respond to your inquiry or to process your request. This
information may be shared with other GCAPA affiliates, but
only if necessary to fulfill your request or for related
purposes.
We may
share the personal information you provide with other
companies we have hired to provide services for us. These
companies - our vendors - are contractually bound to use
personal information we share with them only to perform the
services we have hired them to provide. We do not share,
sell, or lease personal information about you to any
third-parties for their marketing use. We will release
information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are
required by law to do so, or in other legally limited
circumstances (for example, to protect your account from
fraud).

Links to Other
Sites
GCAPA's Web
site may contain links to other sites such as our sponsors
and other rescue or shelter organizations. While we try to
link only to sites that share our high standards and respect
for privacy, we are not responsible for the content,
security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.
Security of
Collected Information
We maintain
safeguards to protect your personal information from
unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict access to
information about you to those GCAPA agents or workers who
need to know the information to respond to your inquiry or
request. Workers who misuse personal information are subject
to disciplinary action.
