Information Use
EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS
Subscriber information will be used by Food Policy Action to send out messages related to its work, advocacy and related messaging.
SHARING SUBSCRIBER INFORMATION
Food Policy Action reserves the right to share subscriber information with Environmental Working Group (EWG) and EWG’s sister organization, EWG Action Fund, as well as its agents, but only on the condition that such information will be used for FPA purposes only. EWG and EWG Action Fund are prohibited from adding FPA subscriber information to their own subscriber list. Otherwise, FPA will not share personally identifiable information with a third party, except in the unlikely event that it is required by law or if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a court order or legal process served on our website.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM WEBSITE
Food Policy Action sends new supporters a welcome email to explain what you can expect to receive from the organization. Food Policy Action also sends supporters periodic emails with information and links to its website and other related content. Food Policy Action also sends supporters information about Food Policy Action events, action campaigns and fundraising efforts.
SUBSCRIPTION TERMINATION
Supporters may unsubscribe from Food Policy Action’s email updates at any time. Links to unsubscribe are included at the bottom of every Food Policy Action email communication. If you are unable to complete your request using Food Policy Action’s automated system, please contact us here. Requests are usually processed within several working days.
LINKS
Food Policy Action’s website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that FPA is not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. Food Policy Action encourages users to be aware when they leave Food Policy Action’s site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by Food Policy Action’s website.
SECURITY
Because Food Policy Action collects only very basic contact information, it currently does not use encryption software to protect this data. Food Policy Action gathers information about its supporters via our website and store it in a private, online database to which only Food Policy Action and its agents, which may include Environmental Working Group and EWG Action Fund, have access.
CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY
If Food Policy Action decides to change its privacy policy, Food Policy Action will post these changes to this statement, to the www.foodpolicyaction.org homepage and to any other places Food Policy Action deems appropriate to ensure that users will always know what information Food Policy Action collects, how the organization uses it and under what circumstances, if any, Food Policy Action shares it. If Food Policy Action wishes to use supporters’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, Food Policy Action will notify supporters via email. Supporters will have a choice as to whether or not Food Policy Action uses their information in this different manner.
