We seek to limit such sharing to information reasonably necessary to conduct the charitable activity.

D. Board and Governance Purposes

Information may be made available to authorized trustees, directors, officers, employees, or volunteers when reasonably necessary to perform their responsibilities for Feed A Meal Foundation.

E. Business or Organizational Transactions

If the Foundation undergoes a reorganization, merger, restructuring, transfer of assets, or similar organizational transaction, information may be transferred as reasonably necessary in connection with that transaction, subject to applicable law.

10. Donor Privacy

Feed A Meal Foundation respects the privacy of donors.

Unless you specifically authorize us to do otherwise, we will not publicly identify you as a donor in a manner that discloses your donation amount or other private donation details.

If you voluntarily provide permission for your name, photograph, testimonial, or donation information to be publicly recognized, we may use that information for the purpose authorized.

We may also be legally required to maintain donation records for accounting, tax, audit, governance, or regulatory purposes.

11. We Do Not Sell Donor Lists

Feed A Meal Foundation does not intend to sell or rent donor mailing lists or donor personal information to third parties for their own commercial marketing purposes.

We may use service providers to help us manage communications and fundraising activities. Those providers may process personal information on our behalf as necessary to provide their services.

We will not represent that we never share information with third parties because certain disclosures are necessary to operate our website, process donations, administer programs, comply with law, and provide requested services.

12. Social Media

Feed A Meal Foundation may maintain accounts or pages on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, WhatsApp, or other social media services.

When you interact with us through these platforms, the platform may collect information about you according to its own privacy policy.

Information you publicly post may be visible to other users.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent social media companies. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and account settings.

13. Third-Party Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties, including:

Payment providers
Social media platforms
Partner organizations
Government agencies
Charitable resources
Service providers
Other informational websites

A link to a third-party website does not mean that Feed A Meal Foundation controls or endorses that website.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites.

You should review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.

14. Information From Other Sources

We may receive information from other lawful sources, including:

Donation platforms
Payment processors
Event organizers
Volunteers
Program partners
Publicly available sources
Other individuals who provide information on your behalf

We may combine such information with information already maintained by the Foundation when reasonably necessary for legitimate organizational purposes.

We do not knowingly purchase personal information for purposes inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

15. Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental involvement where required by law.

If a parent or legal guardian voluntarily provides information about a child in connection with a charitable activity, we may use that information for the specific charitable or administrative purpose for which it was provided.

We encourage parents and guardians to supervise children's online activities.

If we learn that we have collected personal information directly from a child under 13 in circumstances where parental consent was required and was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation, including deleting the information when appropriate.

The Foundation may provide food assistance to families that include children. The fact that a child receives a charitable meal or grocery package does not mean that we need to collect the child's personal information.

We encourage volunteers and program representatives not to collect unnecessary identifying information about children.

16. Special Protection for Beneficiaries and Vulnerable Individuals

Many individuals served by Feed A Meal Foundation may be experiencing financial hardship, food insecurity, disability, family hardship, homelessness, or other difficult circumstances.

We therefore ask our employees, trustees, directors, volunteers, and program partners to handle beneficiary information respectfully and only use or disclose it when reasonably necessary for legitimate charitable purposes.

We discourage the collection or publication of unnecessary information that could identify or embarrass a beneficiary.

When photographs, videos, testimonials, or stories are used publicly, we seek to obtain appropriate permission where required and to present beneficiaries respectfully.

17. International Activities and Bangladesh

Feed A Meal Foundation is an Arizona nonprofit organization and may conduct charitable activities in Bangladesh.

As part of those activities, certain personal information may be accessed, transferred, stored, or processed in the United States, Bangladesh, or other countries where our service providers or program partners operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws may differ between countries.

When information is transferred internationally, Feed A Meal Foundation will seek to do so in accordance with applicable law and use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the circumstances.

If you are located outside the United States, you understand that information provided to the Foundation may be processed in the United States.

If you are located in a jurisdiction with privacy laws that provide additional rights, those rights may apply depending on the circumstances and whether the Foundation is subject to the applicable law.

18. European Union, European Economic Area, Switzerland, and United Kingdom

If Feed A Meal Foundation processes personal data subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), UK GDPR, or applicable Swiss data-protection law, we will process that information in accordance with applicable requirements.

The GDPR can apply to organizations outside the European Union when they offer goods or services to individuals in the EU or monitor their behavior there.

Where applicable, individuals may have rights including:

Access to personal data
Correction of inaccurate information
Deletion of personal data
Restriction of processing
Data portability
Objection to certain processing
Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent
The right to lodge a complaint with an applicable supervisory authority

These rights are subject to legal exceptions and limitations.

Feed A Meal Foundation may process personal data when necessary to provide requested services, administer donations, fulfill charitable activities, comply with legal obligations, protect legitimate interests, or based on consent where required.

Because Feed A Meal Foundation is primarily a U.S.-based nonprofit serving charitable purposes, this section does not mean that GDPR necessarily applies to every visitor or transaction.

19. California Residents

Feed A Meal Foundation is a nonprofit organization. The California Consumer Privacy Act generally does not apply to nonprofit organizations.

However, California residents may have rights under other applicable California laws.

We will respond to lawful privacy requests as required by applicable law.

If you are a California resident and have a privacy question or request, please contact us using the contact information at the end of this Privacy Policy.

20. Other State Privacy Laws

Privacy laws continue to develop in the United States, and individual states may provide specific rights to residents or impose requirements on organizations that meet particular thresholds or conditions.

Feed A Meal Foundation will comply with privacy obligations that legally apply to us.

Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights concerning:

Access
Correction
Deletion
Data portability
Opting out of certain processing
Consent
Marketing communications
Certain profiling or automated processing
Appeals of privacy-request decisions

Some information may be exempt from deletion or other requests because of legal, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, security, nonprofit-recordkeeping, or other lawful requirements.

22. Email Opt-Out

You may unsubscribe from promotional or informational email communications at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in the applicable email.

You may also contact us directly.

Unsubscribing from optional communications will not necessarily stop transactional or legally required communications, such as donation receipts, payment confirmations, or important notices.

Retention periods may depend on:

Depending on the information and system involved, safeguards may include:

Secure website connections
Access controls
Password protections
Restricted administrative access
Secure payment processing
Vendor security controls
Data backups
Monitoring and security procedures
Physical and electronic safeguards
Staff and volunteer confidentiality expectations

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Therefore, while we work to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

25. Security Incidents and Data Breaches

If Feed A Meal Foundation becomes aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate, contain, and address the incident.

Where applicable law requires notification, we will provide notice to affected individuals and governmental authorities within the time and manner required by law.

Arizona law currently requires an organization covered by A.R.S. § 18-552 that experiences a qualifying security breach to investigate and, when a breach is determined, provide required notifications within the statutory period, subject to applicable exceptions and law-enforcement considerations.

The specific information included in any breach notification will depend on the circumstances and applicable law.

26. Confidentiality of Volunteers and Representatives

Individuals acting on behalf of Feed A Meal Foundation, including trustees, directors, officers, employees, volunteers, and authorized representatives, may have access to personal information while performing their duties.

Such individuals are expected to use information only for authorized purposes and to protect confidential information from unauthorized disclosure.

27. Fundraising and Donor Analytics

We may analyze donation and engagement information to understand fundraising activities, improve communications, evaluate campaigns, and better administer charitable programs.

Where we use third-party providers for analytics, fundraising technology, or communications, those providers may process information on our behalf.

We do not intend to use donor information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

28. No Sale of Personal Information

Feed A Meal Foundation does not sell personal information as a commercial business activity.

We may disclose personal information to service providers and other parties as described in this Privacy Policy when reasonably necessary to operate the Foundation, process donations, administer programs, communicate with supporters, protect our systems, or comply with law.

29. Sensitive Personal Information

Please do not voluntarily send sensitive personal information to Feed A Meal Foundation unless it is reasonably necessary for a specific purpose and we have provided an appropriate method for submitting it.

Sensitive information may include, depending on applicable law:

Social Security numbers
Government identification numbers
Financial account credentials
Passwords
Medical information
Health information
Biometric information
Precise location information
Information concerning children
Other information treated as sensitive under applicable law

We may collect certain sensitive information when legally necessary for a legitimate organizational purpose, but we seek to limit such collection.

30. Accuracy of Information

We seek to maintain accurate information.

If you believe that information we maintain about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may contact us and request a correction.

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before making changes.

31. Identity Verification

For privacy and security reasons, we may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

We may decline a request when we reasonably believe that fulfilling it would:

Reveal another person's private information
Create a security risk
Interfere with legal obligations
Conflict with accounting or tax requirements
Require disproportionate effort
Be prohibited by law
Be fraudulent or abusive

32. De-Identified and Aggregate Information

We may create aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information from personal information.

Such information may be used for purposes such as:

Program analysis
Fundraising analysis
Website analytics
Program reporting
Research
Organizational planning
Public reporting

Where information has been appropriately de-identified or anonymized, we may use it without attempting to identify individuals.

33. Legal and Regulatory Records

Certain donor, financial, governance, volunteer, and program records may need to be retained because of legal, accounting, tax, audit, regulatory, or nonprofit governance requirements.

A request to delete personal information does not necessarily require us to delete records that we are legally required or permitted to retain.

Changes may be made because of:

Changes to our programs
Changes to our website
New technology

Although we carefully select service providers and take reasonable steps to protect information, we cannot guarantee the security practices of independent third parties.

For example, payment processors, social media companies, email providers, telecommunications companies, hosting companies, and other third parties may have their own systems and privacy practices.

Their handling of information is governed by their own policies and applicable law.
