Privacy and the Links on Our Web Site
Providing the public with information about the Akita breed, rescue resources, other Akita rescue organizations and information about dog safety through our Web site is an essential part of ARMAC’s efforts to carry out its mission.
Links IN—to www.akitarescue.org—We welcome links to any part of our Web site from other nonprofits, Akita rescue organizations, and others who wish to help extend our mission. We ask that you contact us to let us know of your intentions to link to our site, and indicate the purpose of the link. No link may present or display a product or activity in a way that states or implies ARMAC’s endorsement. ARMAC does not endorse any commercial or non-profit organizations, nor does ARMAC endorse any products.
Links OUT— ARMAC’s web site features links to other nonprofit organization sites, Akita Rescue organizations, and sponsors/supporters of ARMAC. We do not routinely "out-link" to private, commercial or other similar Web sites, other than current sponsors of ARMAC’s programs and services. However, on a case-by-case basis, we will consider requests from such groups or persons to out-link to their Web sites. ARMAC will grant such requests only where it is determined that such links will clearly support our mission, and where we have concluded that such links will not in any way jeopardize our reputation, independence, objectivity, mission or ability to serve the Akita breed.
From time to time, ARMAC also may decide on its own, not based on any request, to out-link to private, commercial or other Web sites. The same criteria described above will apply. Such links may be short or long-term, at the discretion of the organization.
Contact To be considered for out-links from www.akitarescue.org, contact: Lisa Gray.
