Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

The Humane Society of Central Texas is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We only collect information that you voluntarily provide through email, forms, or other direct contact. This information will not be sold or rented to any third party.​

We use your information to respond to your inquiries and fulfill the reason you contacted us. Information will not be shared with third parties outside of HSCTX unless necessary to fulfill your request (e.g., processing a donation or referrals).​

​

Unless you request otherwise, we may contact you via email in the future to share updates about our programs, special offers, or changes to this privacy policy.​

​

Please note that some of our website partners may use cookies. HSCTX does not have access to or control over these cookies.

We may partner with third parties to provide specific services (e.g., payment processing or texting communication). When you sign up for these services, we may share your name and contact information to ensure the service is completed. These third parties are only permitted to use your information for the purpose of providing the agreed-upon services.
