We only share information in the following limited circumstances:

•               Service Providers: We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and conducting our business (such as our email communication platform or website hosting provider), but only to the extent necessary for them to perform these services.

Your Next Steps:

1.              Fill in the Blanks: Add the current date and a public-facing email address (e.g., contact@nazaquariumrescue.org or privacy@...).

3.              Legal Review: This is the most critical step. Please have an attorney review this policy to ensure it meets all legal requirements for your operations.
