The Privacy Policy describes
how Tarrant Area Food Bank (TAFB)
handles information learned about
you from your visit to this site.
1. Information
Collected When you Visit This Site
The information Tarrant Area Food
Bank (TAFB) receives depends upon
what you do when visiting our site.
Tarrant Area Food Bank collects aggregate,
or non-personally identifying, information
on which pages visitors access and
personally identifying information
volunteered by visitors, such as event
reservations, survey information and
requests for information.
2. How
We Use Aggregate Information
The aggregate (non-identifying) information
Tarrant Area Food Bank collects is
used to improve the content of our
site and to customize the content
and/or layout of our pages.
3. Information
You Voluntarily Provide
Tarrant Area Food Bank (TAFB) will
not obtain personally identifying
information about you when you visit
our site unless you choose to provide
such information. When visiting this
site, you may decide to send TAFB
personally identifying information,
for example, in an electronic mail
message or completing a form to receive
publications, attend an event or make
a financial contribution. TAFB may
use personally identifying information
from you to respond to your inquiries
or for other internal business purposes.
4. Sharing
of Information
We do not provide any information
supplied on a Web form or via an email
message to any outside organizations
for any reason other than to process
credit card information or to comply
with the law. Personal information
will not be sold or given to third
parties.
5. Security
Issues Involving Email
Should you choose to submit information
to us via email, please be aware that
normal email is not encrypted. Active
seekers may be able to read email
that you send us and we send you.
If you request information from us
and supply your email address, you
are authorizing us to respond to you
with an unencrypted email message
that may contain private information
about you or your request. While we
are responsible for the privacy of
messages that we store on the network,
we cannot be responsible for the privacy
of those messages once we have transmitted
them to you or to your email provider.
6. Use
of Forms on tafb.org
Our forms on which you submit information
are not encrypted except those noted
as secured. Therefore, information
you send to us may be intercepted
and read by those actively seeking
information on the Internet. Once
the information is sent to our site,
it is kept in secure databases where
it is not available to users on the
Internet.
We use Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) technology for the areas
of our site where we ask you to provide
credit card numbers or other financial
information. SSL technology encrypts
your personal information to avoid
the decoding of that information by
anyone other than Tarrant Area Food
Bank. Encryption involves systematically
scrambling numbers and letters so
that if someone managed to intercept
a packet of information, they would
not be able to make sense of it. NEVERTHELESS,
SUCH SECURITY MEASURES MAY NOT PREVENT
ALL LOSS, MISUSE OR ALTERATION OF
INFORMATION ON THE SITE, AND TARRANT
AREA FOOD BANK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES RELATING
TO ANY SUCH SECURITY FAILURES.
You can tell you have
entered a secured area when you look at the Universal Resource
Locator (URL) in your browser's address bar and see that it
has https:// before the rest of the Web address. The "s"
means the page is hosted from a secured server. We use secured
servers for our Event RSVP/Donation and our Online Monetary
Donation forms because they request financial information. The
rest of our site uses regular servers, which ensure a faster
browsing experience.
7. Use
of Credit Card Numbers
While we sometimes ask for credit
numbers (for example, to make your
reservation for an event or to accept
your online monetary donation), we
do not store credit card numbers online.
8. Email
You Receive From Us
If you do not want to receive email
from Tarrant Area Food Bank in the
future, please send an email to communications@tafb.org
and indicate that you do not want
to receive email from this organization.
9. Changes
to Our Use of Information
If we change how we use information
under this Privacy Policy, we will
notify you by posting notice of the
change on this site.
