Privacy Policy | KatyFoodPantry.org

Information we collect

We do not require you to create an account to browse the directory or read the blog. When you submit a listing-update or new-listing request through our About page, we collect only the name, email address, and message you voluntarily provide so we can review and respond to the request. Our analytics provider (Umami) collects anonymized, aggregated visit data such as page views, referrer, country, and device type. We do not store IP addresses in our analytics database.

Google AdSense and advertising cookies

We use Google AdSense to display ads on this site. Google and its third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this site or other sites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google’s Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com). For information about how third parties use cookies, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices.

Cookies and your choices

On your first visit you will see a banner asking you to either accept all cookies (including personalized advertising) or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored locally in your browser and you can change it at any time by clearing the site’s storage. Essential cookies needed for site functionality (e.g., remembering your language preference) are always set.

Third-party services

This site links to third-party websites and uses third-party services including Google Maps, Google AdSense, and Google Fonts. These services have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites linked from this directory.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.

California (CCPA) and EU/UK (GDPR) users

If you are a California resident or located in the EU or UK, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you. Because we collect only the limited information described above, in most cases this will simply mean removing your listing-request submission from our records. To exercise these rights, contact us using the email below.
