Cookies
A “cookie” is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personal information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site.
If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site.

Links
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, thehungercoalition.org, are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site, and to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personal information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.

eNewsletter
We use MailChimp as the service provider for our eNewsletter. If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, MailChimp will ask for contact information such as a name and email address. This information is shared only with The Hunger Coalition for our eNewsletter’s subscription. MailChimp privacy policy can be found here.

Bulletin Boards/Chat Rooms
If you use a bulletin board or chat room on this site, any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums. This information could be used by other users to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums. To request removal of your personal information from our blog or community forum, contact us at info@thehungercoalition.org. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information. In these cases, we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

When our donation form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry – SSL. While on a secure page, such as our donation form, the lock icon on the Web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.

If you have any questions about the security at our website, please send an email to info@thehungercoalition.org.

If you no longer wish to receive our eNewsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each eNewsletter or communication or by emailing us at info@thehungercoalition.org.

Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judiciary proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email and/or through a notice posted on our website. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
