Effective Date: July 28, 2026

 

Artemis House, Inc. (“Artemis House,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information thoughtfully, responsibly, and transparently.

​

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through our website, how we use and protect it, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We May Collect

Depending on the form or communication, this information may include:

  • Telephone number;

  • Mailing address, if requested;

  • Areas of interest or availability;

  • Professional skills, affiliations, or organizational connections;

  • Information you choose to include in a message; and

  • Donation-related information provided through a third-party donation platform.

​

Please do not submit sensitive personal, medical, financial, or confidential information through a general website contact form unless Artemis House specifically requests it through an appropriate process.

​

Information Collected Automatically

​

When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically through Wix and other website technologies, including:

​

  • Internet Protocol address;

  • Browser and device information;

  • General geographic information;

  • Pages visited and time spent on the site;

  • How visitors reach and navigate the site;

  • Website performance and interaction information; and

  • Cookies and similar technologies.

​

This information generally helps operate, secure, understand, and improve the website.

2. How We Use Information

Artemis House may use information collected through the website to:

​

  • Respond to questions, messages, or requests;

  • Follow up regarding foster, volunteer, fundraising, professional-support, or community interest;

  • Send organizational news and updates when requested;

  • Coordinate formation-stage activities, meetings, events, and opportunities;

  • Maintain appropriate organizational records;

  • Process and acknowledge donations;

  • Improve our website, communications, and community outreach;

  • Protect the security and integrity of our website and organizational systems;

  • Prevent fraud, misuse, or unauthorized activity;

  • Comply with legal, financial, regulatory, and recordkeeping requirements; and

  • Further the charitable mission and operations of Artemis House.

​

Submitting an interest form does not create a foster, volunteer, employment, advisory, stewardship, adoption, or contractual relationship with Artemis House.

3. Email and Other Communications

​We may contact you using the information you provide:

​

  • To respond to an inquiry;

  • To follow up about an area in which you expressed interest;

  • To provide information you requested;

  • To communicate about an activity in which you are participating; or

  • To send Artemis House news and updates when you have chosen to receive them.

​

You may unsubscribe from general email updates at any time by using the unsubscribe option in the message, when available, or by contacting us directly.

​

Unsubscribing from general updates will not necessarily prevent Artemis House from sending a response to your direct inquiry or an administrative communication concerning an activity or relationship in which you are involved.

4. How Information May Be Shared

Artemis House does not sell or rent personal information.

​

We may share limited information when reasonably necessary with:

​

  • Artemis House directors, officers, authorized Stewards, or volunteers who need the information to perform an organizational responsibility;

  • Website hosting, form-management, email, data-storage, analytics, donation, payment-processing, or other service providers;

  • Professional advisors such as attorneys, accountants, insurance representatives, or technology providers;

  • Government agencies, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, safety, animals, people, funds, records, or the organization; and

  • Another organization when you have asked us to make an introduction, referral, or connection.
    ​

Anyone given access to personal information on behalf of Artemis House is expected to use it only for an appropriate organizational purpose and to protect it from unauthorized use or disclosure.

5. Wix and Other Service Providers

Our website is created and hosted through the Wix.com platform. Information submitted through Wix Forms may be stored through Wix’s data storage, databases, inbox, form-submission tables, and related applications.

​

Wix and any third-party applications or services used on the website may process information according to their own terms and privacy practices.

​

If you make a donation through an outside donation or payment platform, that provider will process your payment information under its own privacy policy. Artemis House may receive information such as your name, contact information, donation amount, date, and any donor designation, but ordinarily does not receive or store your complete payment-card number.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

​

Some cookies are essential to:

​

  • Operate the website;

  • Maintain security and stability;

  • Detect fraud or attacks;

  • Remember visitor settings; and

  • Provide core website functions.

​

Other cookies or technologies may be used for analytics, embedded video, social-media features, or third-party applications.

 

Where available, you may use our cookie banner to accept or decline nonessential cookies. You may also adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features work.

​

Wix notes that its sites use essential cookies for security, stability, fraud detection, rendering, and platform operation, while added components or third-party apps may introduce additional cookies.

7. Embedded Content and Third-Party Links

Our website may contain:

​

  • Embedded videos;

  • Social-media links or feeds;

  • Links to donation platforms;

  • Links to educational resources;

  • Links to partner organizations; or

  • Other content operated by third parties.

​

Interacting with third-party content may allow that provider to collect information about you. Artemis House does not control the privacy, security, or data practices of third-party websites or services.

​

We encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting personal information.

8. Data Retention

Artemis House retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

​

  • Fulfill the purpose for which it was collected;

  • Maintain appropriate organizational and historical records;

  • Manage an ongoing relationship or request;

  • Meet legal, tax, accounting, charitable, insurance, or regulatory obligations;

  • Resolve disputes or concerns; and

  • Protect the organization, its community, and the dogs it serves.

 

Different types of information may be retained for different periods. Donor, financial, corporate, regulatory, and legal records may need to be retained longer than general inquiries or expressions of interest.

​

When information is no longer reasonably needed, Artemis House may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with its recordkeeping practices.

9. Information Security

Artemis House takes reasonable administrative, organizational, and technological steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Access should be limited to individuals with an appropriate organizational role or need.

​

However, no website, email account, database, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please use care when deciding what information to submit online.

10. Your Choices and Requests

You may contact Artemis House to:

​

  • Ask what personal information we maintain about you;

  • Request correction of inaccurate information;

  • Ask us to delete information that is no longer needed;

  • Withdraw an expression of interest;

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;

  • Unsubscribe from general email communications; or

  • Ask a question about how your information is handled.

 

We will make reasonable efforts to respond to verified requests, subject to legal, financial, recordkeeping, safety, and organizational obligations that may require us to retain certain information.

​

Wix provides site owners with tools for responding to access and deletion requests involving visitor information stored through Wix.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our general website and online forms are not directed to children under 13, and Artemis House does not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13.

​

Information concerning a child or youth should be submitted only by, or with the knowledge and permission of, a parent or legal guardian.

​

If we learn that personal information was submitted directly by a child under 13 without appropriate parental involvement, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

​

COPPA may apply when a general-audience website has actual knowledge that it is collecting personal information from a child under 13.

12. Visitors Outside the United States

Artemis House is a Georgia nonprofit corporation based in the United States.

​

Our website may be accessible from other locations. Personal information submitted through the website may be processed or stored in the United States or in other locations where Wix or another service provider operates.

​

Visitors outside the United States are responsible for deciding whether they wish to provide information under these circumstances.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Artemis House may update this Privacy Policy as the organization develops, its website changes, new programs or services are introduced, or legal and operational requirements evolve.

​

The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or another reasonable method.
