Privacy Statement
5/25/18 The General Data Protection Regulation
goes into effect. This is a European privacy law
that impacts any website that can be seen from
other counties. To be in compliance we have
extended our privacy policy with more info.
Nothing has actually changed. We have never
shared your info with any one else, we are not
going to start now.
So here you go to make the powers to be happy:
We take user privacy pretty dang seriously. Our
goal is to make Blind Cat Rescue a great experience.
However, as much as we love you, we are not
interested in knowing everything about you.
Blind Cat Rescue may collect, use and disclose
your personal information in the manner
described in this privacy and cookies policy.
Here is the scoop in layman’s terms:
If you sign up for our newsletter we ask for your
name and email address. We can not send it to
you with out that info.
That info is stored on Mailchimp.com servers.
We may download it in a file to our local
computer and save it for 1 year on dropbox.
We NEVER EVER share that info with anyone.
Here is Mailchimps policy statement:

If you buy a calendar or raffle ticket for a fund
raiser, we ask for your mailing address & email
address. We can’t ship it with out that info and
can’t let you know that it has been shipped
without your email address. That information
is stored on GoDaddy.com’s servers until the
end of the fund raiser. That info is downloaded
to our computer and stored for 2 years on
Dropbox. The file on GoDaddy is destroyed
forever in January when we close out our store
with them. We NEVER EVER share that info
with anyone. The payment processor is
Stripe/Braintree Payments. Blind Cat Rescue
does not collect, store or have access to the
payment information you provide them. All
such info is subject the privacy policy of
Braintree. Available here :

A copy is made with the cop machine and
saved with the rest of the bank deposit info. These
copies are saved in folders each month in a large
tub kept in the closet of the office. The
information is entered into Quickbooks
Accounting Software. Once a year the big tub
with the whole years receipts etc go to the
accountant for a full audit of the books and for
our taxes to be prepared. The CPA may look
at the deposit copies, if he needs to verify
something but I sincerely doubt they do. The
tub comes home, goes into the storage room to
never be seen again. With the IRS you never
know how long you should keep records so we
have them for the last 10 years.
COOKIE POLICY: Our website has ZERO
cookies, no 3rd party cookies, no cookies at
all except the oreos in the kitchen that I am not
supposed to eat (smile) We do not collect or
share your info with anyone for any reason.
Bottom Line, we only have the info about you
that we absolutely need and we share it with
no one.
