This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit lonestarrescueranch.com, submit a form, request information, join our mailing list, volunteer interest list, donor list, partner list, or otherwise communicate with us.

LSRR is currently in the planning, formation, fundraising, and development stage. LSRR is not yet open for animal intake, adoptions, public visits, lodging, dining, therapy services, youth programs, paid experiences, or ranch operations.

4. Donations and Payment Information

If donations or payments are accepted through the website, they may be processed by third-party providers. Those providers may collect payment details, billing information, and transaction data according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Donation language on the website should be read in light of LSRR’s current legal status. LSRR materials should describe the organization as 501(c)(3)-pending unless approval has been received. LSRR does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice. Donors should consult their own tax advisor regarding the deductibility of any contribution.

5. Email, Text, and Communications

By submitting your contact information, you may receive communications from LSRR related to the reason you contacted us, such as donor updates, volunteer information, newsletters, partnership follow-up, event notices, or project updates.

You may unsubscribe from email communications by using the unsubscribe link, if available, or by contacting us at:

If text messaging is later used, LSRR should obtain express opt-in consent before sending recurring text messages.

6. Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies or similar tools to improve functionality, understand traffic, remember preferences, and measure outreach effectiveness.

You may be able to disable cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

7. How We Share Information

LSRR does not sell donor or supporter contact lists.

We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website, process donations, manage email lists, maintain CRM systems, provide analytics, support events, or assist with administrative functions.

We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, government request, fraud prevention, security investigation, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of LSRR, website visitors, animals, staff, volunteers, partners, or the public.

8. Third-Party Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites, donation platforms, social media platforms, payment processors, partner organizations, or other resources. LSRR is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of third-party websites.

Visitors should review the privacy policies of any third-party site they use.

9. Children’s Privacy

The website is not intended to collect personal information directly from children under 13.

LSRR may eventually develop youth, school, education, internship, therapy-adjacent, or family programs. Before collecting information from minors for any such program, LSRR should use appropriate parent/guardian consent, safety, insurance, legal, and program-specific procedures.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational steps to protect information. However, no website, email system, database, payment system, or internet transmission is completely secure.

Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal, medical, financial, or confidential information through general website forms unless specifically requested through a secure process.

11. Data Accuracy and Updates

You may contact us to request that we update, correct, or remove certain contact information from our active outreach records, subject to legal, accounting, donor recordkeeping, or administrative requirements.

If LSRR creates donor walls, founding supporter lists, sponsorship pages, event acknowledgments, or public recognition materials, we will make reasonable efforts to use the name or recognition preference provided by the donor or supporter.

If you do not want your name publicly recognized, please notify us before or at the time of your contribution or participation.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

LSRR may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
