Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 14, 2026

The Simple Heart Initiative (“Simple Heart,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to simpleheart.org and any subdomain operated by The Simple Heart Initiative, including placement.savethedogs.io while that site is hosted by Simple Heart.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address — when you subscribe to our newsletter, make a donation, sign a petition, volunteer for a campaign, or contact us. We also collect limited technical information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and pages viewed, using standard server logs and privacy-respecting analytics.

SMS & Phone Communications

If you provide your phone number, you consent to receive SMS messages and calls from Simple Heart related to our programs and campaigns. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out. We do not sell or share phone numbers with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate (for example, email, SMS, and payment processors), and only to the extent necessary for them to perform that work. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Simple Heart, our supporters, or the public.
