PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for www.sharefoodbringhope.org or www.floatforthefoodbank.org. This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by these websites. Please read this policy carefully for more details about the information we collect when you use the site, as well as how we use the information.
Information Collection, Use and Sharing
The Food Bank is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell or rent personal information to any person or entity.
The Food Bank works with third-party analytics vendors to provide a more customized experience for online visitors. To do so, we disclose information about individual users—which may include personally identifiable information like names and email addresses—to those vendors. We do not allow analytics vendors to sell or use that information for their own purposes.
The Food Bank uses information collected on our websites to help us understand browsing activity and actions of our donors, volunteers and neighbors so we can measure the success of our education, awareness and fundraising efforts and contact persons based on information requests and engagement. Information may also be shared with third parties when necessary to fulfill a request. Changes to this policy will be publicly announced.
Donor’s Privacy
The Food Bank will never sell or trade a donor’s personal information with any other entity, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations. The Food Bank collects and uses information such as names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses only when it is voluntarily provided. Requests for anonymity by donors will be honored, as will requests to be removed from mailing lists.
The Food Bank also adheres to the Donor Bill of Rights as listed by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. The rights were formed to “assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support.”
If you have questions or concerns about our donor privacy policy, contact Chief Development Officer Julie Dorn at 573-447-6624 or by email at julied@sharefoodbringhope.org.

Security
The Food Bank takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information it is protected both on and offline. Whenever sensitive information is collected (i.e. credit information), it is encrypted and transmitted securely. You may verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific task offline (such as donation processing) are granted access to payment information. Servers storing personally identifiable information held by the organization are kept in a secure environment.
Cookies
In order to help enhance the performance and functionality of the websites, we utilize session, persistent and third-party “cookies” that store a small piece of data on a users’ computers and collect certain information about the users’ visit to our sites. We also use cookies to understand users’ browsing activities and engagement so we can measure the success of digital education, awareness and fundraising campaigns we run. Our site also uses web beacons (either directly or from our partners), along with cookies, to determine if a user has visited a particular website. These beacons aid in providing more relevant advertising to the user, as well as measuring the success of an advertising campaign, but provide no personally identifiable information.
Cookies are small text files that web servers typically send to users’ computer when they visit a website. Cookies are stored as text files on users’ hard drive, and can be accessed by web servers when the user visits a website or views an advertisement. A session cookie is a cookie that stores information as a user is using the site but is deleted once the browser session is finished. A persistent cookie is a cookie that stores information as a user utilizes the site and stores and uses that information in connection with future visits of the user to the site. Third-party cookies and/or web beacons are cookies or web beacons provided by our technology and/or advertising partners. Any third-party cookie or web beacon that we authorize for use on the site only collects that information described below for the same stated purposes as if we were directly collecting the information. For a third-party cookie or web beacon, the third-party will have access to the collected information in order to provide us with information or services to enhance the performance and functionality of the site.
The cookies and web beacons we use collect non-personally identifiable information about users of the site, including: browser used to access the site, date and time, the URL of the page being loaded, users who have visited a particular website(s), any previously assigned cookie identification (a unique identifier assigned to a user to identify repeat visitors), browser window size, the geographic location of the user, device and operating system used to access the site. The information we collect from these cookies and web beacons is used to determine information about a user’s visit to our site, including the number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed, navigation history through the website, and other statistics. This information is used to enhance the users experience while visiting our site and to improve the performance of our site by, among other things, allowing us to monitor site performance, making the site easier to use, measuring the effectiveness of promotional placements and tailoring the site (including the ads and offers a user receives) to better match a user’s interests and preferences.
Users who prefer not to accept cookies can set their internet browser to notify them when they receive a cookie or to prevent cookies from being placed on their hard drive. If you consent to our collection of cookies and you subsequently wish to withdraw your consent, you will need to manage the settings on your web browser to delete all cookies and disallow further acceptance of cookies. Please note that disabling cookies on your browser will prevent us from tracking your activities in relations to our site. However, it may also disable some of the functions and features of the site and the site may not work properly.
