Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Kona Platform collects through this website, how it is used, and the choices you have. It is a standard default policy; if a specific policy has been published for this organization, that version takes precedence.

Information we collect

• Information you provide. When you submit an adoption, foster, or volunteer application, or contact us, we collect the details you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and the answers on the form.
• Account information. If you sign in, we store your account profile and the records associated with it.
• Technical and usage data. We log approximate, anonymized location data and automated bot-detection signals to keep the site secure, along with standard request information such as the pages you view.

How we use your information

• To process and evaluate your applications and to communicate with you about them.
• To operate, secure, and improve the website.
• To meet legal, safety, and record-keeping obligations.

How we share information

Kona Platform does not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site, when required by law, or with other rescues in the network when you explicitly consent to share a reference as part of an application. You control that consent and can withdraw it.

Data retention

We keep application and account records only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete or anonymize them.

Your choices and rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. See our data deletion instructions, or contact us using the details in the site footer, and we will respond.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always available on this page.
