Privacy Policy
Draft for review. This is placeholder wording to show structure and must be reviewed and approved by Apnaw Forever and a legal advisor before the site goes live.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Apnaw Forever (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects the personal information you share with us through this website.
2. Information we collect
When you submit an enquiry, we collect the details you provide:
- Your name
- Your phone number
- Your address
- Your enquiry type and any message you include
- The dog your enquiry relates to, if submitted from a specific pet page
We may also collect basic, non-identifying technical data (such as browser type) if analytics are enabled. [Confirm whether analytics/cookies are used.]
3. How we use your information
- To respond to your adoption, rescue, foster or general enquiry
- To arrange home checks, matches and follow-ups where relevant

4. Legal basis & consent
We process your information based on your consent when you submit an enquiry, and our legitimate interest in running our rescue and adoption work.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only with our team and trusted volunteers who help process enquiries, and where required by law.
6. Cookies & analytics
If cookies or analytics tools are used, they help us understand how the Website is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings. [Update once cookie/analytics tools are finalised.]
7. Data retention
We keep enquiry information only as long as needed to respond and to maintain rescue and adoption records, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
8. Your rights
You may ask us to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to stop contacting you. Email care@apnaw.com and we'll help.
