Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2, 2026

Sadie is built to help shelter dogs find people who care. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. We've written it to be readable — not to bury you in legalese.

Who we are

Sadie is operated by Ryan Rumbolt, accessible at hellosadie.dog. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at hello@hellosadie.dog.

What we collect

On the website (hellosadie.dog)

The only information we collect on this site is your email address, and only if you choose to submit it through our city request form. We use it solely to notify you when Sadie launches in your area.

We do not sell your email address. We do not share it with third parties. You can ask us to remove it at any time by emailing hello@hellosadie.dog.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand how people find and use this site — things like which pages are visited and roughly where visitors come from. It's cookieless and doesn't collect personal information. We do not use Google Analytics. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.

In the app

The Sadie app collects information needed to provide the service, including your account details and activity within the app (shares, karma points, dogs saved). This data is stored securely via Supabase. We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers.

Shelter data

Sadie aggregates publicly available shelter data to show which dogs are at risk. This data comes from third-party sources and may not always be accurate or up to date. Sadie is not affiliated with any individual shelter or animal services organization.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@hellosadie.dog.

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information.

Changes to this policy

If we make meaningful changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For significant changes, we'll do our best to notify you directly if we have your email address.
