Privacy, kept short

Last updated: June 2026

What this site collects

Very little. charity-shop.org is a static website: there are no accounts, no login, and we set no cookies of our own. We don't see or store your payment details, name or address — donations happen on World Animal Rescue Network's platform, under its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read.

The "near me" location button

If you use the "show charity shops near me" button, your browser asks your permission and then uses your coordinates only on your device, to open a map. Your location is never transmitted to or stored by this site. Declining permission simply opens a general map search instead.

Gift personalisation

Names and occasions you type into the gift sponsorship form travel in the link to World Animal Rescue Network so they can appear on the certificate. We don't store them; WARN processes them as part of your donation.

Analytics and hosting

If we enable analytics, it will be privacy-respecting, cookie-free aggregate measurement (page views, not people), and this policy will say so. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (IP address, pages requested) for security, as virtually all websites' hosts do.

External links

We link to other organisations — rescue centres, charity shop chains, Google Maps. Their sites have their own policies; ours stops at the edge of this one.
