What we collect
- Fosters: name, email, city, optional phone, dog profiles, and receipt images. Stripe collects your bank and ID details directly. Howlback never sees your bank info.
- Supporters: the name and note you choose to show (optional), and payment details processed by Stripe. Howlback never sees or stores your card number.
- Lost & found posters: what you enter in the form, including photos and contact info.
- Email or text sign-ups: your email or phone number, only to send Howlback updates.
- Site visits: simple visit counts through GoatCounter, which doesn’t use cookies or track you across sites.
What’s public
- Dog profiles, the foster’s first name, receipt details (business, date, amount, what it was for), and supporter names and notes if you choose to show them.
- Receipt images are private. Only the foster and Howlback can see them.
- Lost & found posts show your phone number only if you choose to show it. Your email is never shown.
How we use it
