We do NOT store personal information with cookies.
In addition to information that you submit, like most websites, WELL-FED uses “cookies” to remember some details about visitors. Cookies are used for the limited purpose of facilitating your use of this website and to allow you to access our content with ease. These are not used to store personal information and are not tied to any personally identifiable information, such as your name or your IP address. These cookies may, however, allow us to obtain basic information, such as your general geographic location, the way that you reached our website, and your activity on our website. WELL-FED’s website may not honor “do not track” signals that it receives from visitors’ web browsers unless honoring such requests is mandated by local law. WELL-FED also relies on information obtained from cookies to perform ongoing analysis and improve our website and to tailor our content to your interests. You may manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. For EU users, you may also withdraw consent for non-essential cookies via our cookie banner or by contacting us directly.
We use information to set priorities and provide updates.
Information supplied in contact forms is used to send you updates and information about WELL-FED and our campaigns and programs, including events, activities, appeals, donation opportunities, plant-based eating tips, and news. We also use information to improve our websites and campaigns. By collecting visitor behavior statistics, we are able to measure interest in our various campaigns and programs and use this information to better serve you and make our advocacy efforts more effective.
We protect your information.
WELL-FED uses advanced security protocols to ensure the privacy of your information. We do not rent, trade, or sell email addresses. Any financial information is sent via a secure server and encrypted for your protection. WELL-FED does not see, store, or retain credit card numbers. Credit card information is submitted through secure third-party payment processors. Our contacts are with GiveDirect, FundraiseUp, and PayPal. These and other third-party processors are contractually obligated to comply with data protection laws and process your information only on our behalf.
WELL-FED does NOT share your personal information with other groups.
We respect your rights.
