What this policy covers

MA Wildlife Help is a public information website. The contact form is for website messages, suggestions, and public resource updates, not emergency wildlife response.

For an injured, trapped, aggressive, or dangerous animal, call the appropriate local authority, animal control office, wildlife rehabilitator, or licensed professional directly.

Information You Send Through the Contact Form

If you use the contact form, the site may receive your name, email address, subject, region, and message. This information is used to read website messages, review suggested updates, and respond when a reply is appropriate.

Please do not send private medical, legal, financial, or emergency details through the form. The form is intended for website messages and suggestions only.

Server Logs and Basic Technical Data

Like most websites, the hosting server may record basic technical information such as requested pages, browser type, device type, approximate time of visit, IP address, and error logs. This information helps keep the website working, diagnose broken pages, and protect the site from abuse.

Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

The site may use cookies or similar technologies for basic website operation, traffic measurement, spam prevention, advertising, or performance analysis. If third-party advertising or analytics tools are active, those providers may process data according to their own privacy policies and settings.

You can usually limit or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of a website may work differently when cookies are disabled.

External Links

MA Wildlife Help links to outside organizations, phone resources, agencies, clinics, and other informational pages. Those websites are controlled by their own owners and may have separate privacy policies, terms, and contact procedures.

About MA Wildlife Help

Public wildlife information for Massachusetts residents.

MA Wildlife Help is maintained by a small volunteer team that organizes public information for Massachusetts residents who need quick, practical wildlife contacts and first-step guidance.

We are not a government agency, animal control office, veterinary clinic, wildlife hospital, or emergency response service. Our role is to keep information clear, review contact details where possible, and help visitors reach the appropriate local organization, licensed wildlife rehabilitator, animal control office, or qualified professional directly.

Children’s Privacy

This website is written for general public use and is not directed at children under 13. Children should ask a parent, guardian, teacher, or responsible adult before contacting any organization or submitting a form online.

Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website changes, when contact options change, or when advertising, analytics, or security tools are adjusted.
