I am waiting for a public answer to my questions from Q3. My info was made public, the answer to my question can be public too.
Hello, Q3, are you there?
I am sorry for any confusion about what was sent to me by WMHRG. I am also sorry that you were included in our campaign in error. I cannot speak for WMHRG -- except to say they do amazing work and really should be congratulated for what they do.
As far as I know, WMHRG did not make anything PUBLIC. So (and this is a sincere questions) are you concerned about something that was made PUBLIC that I am unaware of, or are your concerned that WMHRG shared your email with me?
If the concern is that information was shared with me and that concerns you, I have deleted the file and have not made it public.

The digital card posted in the opening post is all that was made public. Anyone who wanted to remain anonymous just had to PM (here), DM (Twitter) or EMail me to be left off. Several donors wanted to remain anonymous and even their first names were excluded.

When we started the Birthday campaign, I arranged with WALK ME HOME RESCUE GROUP to track donations and keep me updated with a daily tally. They are staffed by amazing but overworked volunteers, and I was pleased they set up something for us. They did not have sophisticated donation systems and with only a couple weeks to Adam's birthday I could not build something.
WMHRG sent me a donation listing so I could let people know the total, track the total donated and prepare something for Adam with the first names of everyone who donated. I also collected the information of other animal rescue donations from emails and messages send to me by fans.
The tracking list from WMHRG had email addresses on it -- and yes I have seen them. But they have NEVER been made public, the information was not shared with anyone else, and nothing was sent to those email addresses by me. I don't even know which email address on that list is yours.
In addition, I deleted the donation list last night because I did not need to retain it for any reason.

That said -- I have volunteered to help WMHRG with fundraising. It is a wonderful cause and I plan to do whatever I can do in the coming year to help WMHRG raise more money.
