Privacy Policy
Effective date: June 3, 2026
The Victor Project ("we," "us," or "our") operates www.thevictorproject.org (the "Site"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us: When you fill out our contact form, join our mailing list, or email us, we collect the details you provide — such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, our Site (hosted on Wix) automatically collects certain technical data through cookies and similar technologies — for example, your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you use the Site. This helps us understand traffic and improve the Site.
2. How we use your information
We use your information to: respond to your messages and requests; send updates, stories, and volunteer or support opportunities if you've joined our mailing list; coordinate pet food assistance, volunteering, and outreach; and operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
3. Cookies
Our Site uses cookies, including those set by our hosting platform, Wix, to keep the Site working and to measure usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended without them.
4. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run the Site and our communications (such as Wix and our email/mailing-list provider), under obligations to protect it; or when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of The Victor Project, our volunteers, or others.
5. Data retention
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, after which we delete or anonymize it.
6. Your choices and rights
You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any message. You may also ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing info@thevictorproject.org. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws — contact us and we'll do our best to honor them.
7. Children's privacy
Our Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we'll delete it.
8. Third-party links
Our Site may link to other sites, such as our social media pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Effective date" above shows when it was last revised, and significant changes will be posted on this page.
