The Heritage Humane Society is grateful for your dedication to caring for the homeless pets at Greater Williamsburg’s largest animal shelter. We respect your privacy and are transparent with how we use information provided to us through various ways.
Information collection. The Heritage Humane Society collects the contact information you voluntarily provide through our website, mailings, contributions, and event registrations. This information is used to respond to your request or inquiry and to contact you about programs and services of The Heritage Humane Society.
Contribution history. We keep a record of each donor’s giving history, which is kept on file for IRS purposes and to track and analyze giving trends. We do not engage in telemarketing, and will not call your home except for gift acknowledgement purposes or to ask a specific question regarding your volunteer, event attendance or other involvement with our organization.
Never share your information. The Heritage Humane Society does not sell, trade or release your contact information to parties outside of our organization. We occasionally may send information regarding other organizations we think may interest you, or send invitations from another organization doing a benefit for The Heritage Humane Society through a third-party mail house.
