Effective September 3, 2026
Information we collect
Kindred Tails may collect information you choose to provide through contact messages, adoption, foster and volunteer applications, program-interest forms, partnership inquiries, financial-review requests, and surrender or family-support requests.
Depending on the form, this may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, household and housing information, availability, animal-care experience, and the details needed to evaluate a request responsibly.
Animal information
Surrender and support requests may include an animal’s photograph, health history, veterinary contacts, vaccination or medical records, medications, behavior, bite history, household relationships, and placement timeline.
Messages and replies
Messages are saved in the private Kindred Tails administrative inbox so authorized team members can review, organize, and respond. Email notifications may also be sent to designated Kindred Tails addresses.
Payment information
Donations and sponsorship payments are processed on external payment platforms. Kindred Tails does not ask you to enter payment-card information into its public website forms.
Technical information
The website host and security systems may process ordinary technical records such as IP addresses, browser information, timestamps, requested pages, and error or security logs.
How information is used
- Respond to questions and requests.
- Evaluate adoption, foster, volunteer, support, surrender, program, and partnership inquiries.
- Coordinate animal care, placement, veterinary communication, and organizational operations.
- Maintain appropriate records, protect animal and human safety, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.
- Improve website reliability and the clarity of Kindred Tails services.
Sharing and disclosure
Kindred Tails does not sell or rent personal information. Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with authorized volunteers, foster or placement partners, veterinary professionals, service providers, government or animal-welfare authorities, or other parties involved in responding to a request, protecting safety, meeting legal duties, or operating the organization.
Please do not send passwords, payment-card details, Social Security numbers, or unrelated sensitive records through general contact or chat forms.
Retention, correction, and deletion
Information is retained for as long as reasonably needed to evaluate and document requests, communicate with you, support animal-welfare operations, resolve disputes, protect safety, and satisfy legal, financial, insurance, or organizational recordkeeping requirements.
You may ask Kindred Tails to correct or delete information you submitted. Some records may need to be retained when required for legitimate animal-care, safety, legal, financial, or operational purposes.
External services and links
This website links to services operated by third parties, including payment processors, wish-list providers, and social networks. Their privacy practices and security are governed by their own policies.
Children’s privacy
The public forms are intended for adults or for use with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. Kindred Tails does not knowingly use this website to solicit personal information directly from young children.
Terms & conditions of use
Using this website
By using this website, you agree to these terms and the privacy provisions above. If you do not agree, do not use the website or submit information through its forms. Kindred Tails may update this page when its services, legal obligations, or website practices change.
This website is not an emergency service.
For immediate danger involving a person or animal, contact 911, local law enforcement, animal control, or an appropriate emergency veterinary provider. Website messages are not monitored continuously and do not create a guarantee of response, intake, placement, treatment, or assistance.
General information
Website content is educational only. It is not veterinary, medical, legal, financial, tax, behavioral, or other professional advice and does not replace an appropriate licensed professional.
Applications and requests
Submitting a form begins an evaluation only. It does not reserve an animal or guarantee approval, acceptance, placement, assistance, or any particular outcome.
Animal information
Status, age, breed, health, behavior, compatibility, and availability may change or may reflect the best information reasonably available at the time. Confirm final details directly with the team.
Third-party services
Payment processors, wish-list providers, social networks, veterinary providers, shelters, and other linked services operate under their own terms and policies.
Responsible use and submitted materials
You agree to provide accurate information and use the website lawfully. You may not gain unauthorized access, interfere with operation, introduce malicious code, impersonate another person, submit knowingly false information, harass anyone, exploit an animal, or use website content for unlawful, deceptive, or abusive purposes.
You retain rights you hold in materials you submit and permit Kindred Tails to receive, store, review, reproduce internally, and share them as reasonably needed to evaluate and respond to the request, coordinate animal care or placement, protect safety, maintain records, and meet legal obligations. Public marketing use of a private story or identifiable person’s image requires separate permission or another lawful basis.
Donations and external payments
Third-party platforms process donations and sponsorships. Review the amount, frequency, designation, and provider terms before completing a transaction. Unless agreed in writing, a donation does not create ownership, decision-making authority, exclusive sponsorship rights, or guarantee that a particular animal or project receives a specific amount.
Intellectual property and availability
The Kindred Tails name, logo, original writing, design, photographs, graphics, and other materials are protected by applicable law. Public page links may be shared for lawful, noncommercial purposes. Do not copy, modify, sell, falsely attribute, or commercially exploit protected materials without permission.
The website is provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, Kindred Tails does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, fully secure, or continuously current operation and is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from website use or a linked third-party service.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Georgia law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing here waives a right or protection that cannot lawfully be waived.
