Information

What information may be collected

The public website is primarily informational. If you choose to email Firebird, Firebird receives the information you include in that message, such as your email address, name, and message content. Do not send sensitive shelter-intake, medical, financial, or emergency information to the general website email addresses.

Like most websites, Firebird's hosting and security infrastructure may automatically process technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as IP address, browser or device information, requested pages, timestamps, and security or server logs.

Use

Why information is used

Information may be used to operate and secure the website, respond to messages, maintain records of organizational communications, troubleshoot problems, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Firebird does not state that ordinary website email is a confidential shelter-intake channel. Hearthside — Intermixed Adult Shelter is not open, and Firebird does not currently accept shelter placement requests through this website.

Sharing and retention

Service providers and legal requirements

Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, email, security, or other site operations. Firebird may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or safety of Firebird, its users, or others.

Firebird retains information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was received, organizational recordkeeping, security, or legal obligations. Different records may require different retention periods.

Your choices

Links, children, and policy changes

Firebird links to outside resources, including crisis and housing services. Those organizations control their own websites and privacy practices.

Children's information

This public website is not designed to collect personal information from children. Do not submit a child's sensitive information through general Firebird email addresses.

Changes to this policy

Firebird may update this policy as the website adds forms, analytics, newsletters, ShelterNow integrations, or other services. The updated date on this page will change when the policy changes.
