Information Sharing
Food Bank of the Rockies respects the privacy of our donors, volunteers, and friends. We will never sell, rent, or otherwise share the names and/or contact information of our donors and supporters with any third party not directly affiliated with us. We do occasionally contract with outside vendors for market research, fundraising, and promotional support that directly benefits Food Bank of the Rockies. In these instances, our database is held in the strictest confidence.

We might notify you about an outside event or cause that we feel is worthy of your consideration or that indirectly benefits Food Bank of the Rockies. This contact will always be managed by Food Bank staff or an authorized vendor. For example, we might conduct the mailing of a brochure promoting a national hunger relief organization. We will not release our mailing list to that organization, but will conduct the mailing on their behalf.

We use outside companies to process many of our charitable donations. These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing us with processing services. Prior to donating online, you will have the opportunity to review that company's privacy and security policy.

Other Uses and Disclosures of Information
Although unlikely, Food Bank of the Rockies may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personal information about our users. We will provide this information, to the extent technically possible upon request and receipt of the appropriate documentation. Disclosure may also occur if we consider it necessary to protect our legal rights, or if the information relates to threatened or actual harmful conduct.

Access and the Ability to Correct Your Information
Food Bank of the Rockies stores the information you provide upon registration at our site and for our various services and databases. If your contact information changes, or if you no longer wish to volunteer or receive our newsletters, please let us know at info@foodbankrockies.org.
