Submitting a request for assistance does not guarantee approval or assistance.

How We Protect Your Information

Montrel Living uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information submitted through the website.

Website forms, submissions, contacts, analytics, donation records, and checkout services are managed through Squarespace and its connected service providers.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should avoid submitting information that is not necessary for their request or inquiry.

Third-Party Services

Montrel Living uses third-party services to operate its website and process certain transactions. Confirmed services currently include:

  • Squarespace for website hosting, forms, submission storage, contacts, analytics, donations, and checkout

  • Squarespace Payments for payment processing

  • PayPal and Venmo as available payment options

  • Google reCAPTCHA during the secure donation-checkout process

  • Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn through external social-media links

These providers may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Montrel Living is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

Cookies and Analytics

The website uses Squarespace cookies and Squarespace Analytics to help operate the website, understand visitor traffic, measure engagement, and improve website performance.

Cookies and similar technologies may collect information about visitors’ browsers, devices, pages viewed, and interactions with the website.

Necessary cookies support essential website functions. Non-essential cookies may support analytics and performance measurement.

Visitors may use the website’s cookie controls to accept, decline, or manage non-essential cookies. Visitors may also manage cookies through their browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

The website does not currently have confirmed integrations with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, or Google Ads conversion tracking.

Donations

Donations are completed through a secure Squarespace-hosted checkout.

Depending on the donor’s selected method, payment information may be processed through Squarespace Payments, PayPal, Venmo, or another payment option displayed during checkout.

Montrel Living does not directly collect complete payment-card details through the ordinary pages of its website. Payment information is handled through the secure checkout and applicable payment provider.

Squarespace stores donor and contribution records and sends donation receipts and transaction notifications to the email address provided by the donor.

Montrel Living may retain donation information when reasonably necessary for transaction processing, donor communication, tax and accounting obligations, fraud prevention, and organizational recordkeeping.

Certain information may need to be retained for legal, tax, accounting, security, transaction, or organizational recordkeeping purposes.

Requests may be sent to vets@montrelliving.org. Montrel Living may need to verify the requester’s identity before completing a privacy request.

Children’s Privacy

The website and its public forms are intended for adults.

Montrel Living does not knowingly request personal information directly from children under 13 through the website. A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child has submitted personal information may contact Montrel Living to request review or removal of that information.

The website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, payment providers, or community resources.

Montrel Living does not control these external websites and is not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. Visitors should review the privacy policies of external services before providing personal information.
