WhyHunger (World Hunger Year, Inc.) uses its best efforts to respect the privacy of its online visitors. At our site, we do not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. This means we do not require you to register or provide information to us in order to view our site.
WhyHunger only gathers personally identifiable data, such as names, addresses, zip/postal codes, e-mail addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. WhyHunger lists are never sold to third parties. We will only share personally identifiable information with third parties when the person submitting the information authorizes us to share it, or when we are required by law.
It is the policy of WhyHunger to ensure that a broad range of information and opinions on the issues of hunger and poverty are available to the public through our Website. WhyHunger; however, speaks for itself on every issue. It neither endorses nor rejects the opinions of other groups or individuals unless it explicitly so states such endorsement or rejection. The provision by WhyHunger of an electronic link to the Website of another group or individual is not to be construed as either an endorsement or an indication that the content of the linked site in any way represents the views of WhyHunger.
WhyHunger maintains the highest level of respect for the privacy of its donors. In furtherance of our commitment to honor your rights, we have developed this Donor Privacy Policy to guide our volunteers and staff on how they may and may not use your personal information. This policy may be updated from time to time.
WhyHunger collects and uses various personal information from donors that includes: name, amount donated, address, telephone number, donor comments and e-mail address. Tax laws in the United States and the State of New York require WhyHunger to keep contact information and contribution level of donors on file.
WhyHunger will never sell, trade, rent or share names, e-mail or mail addresses, or telephone numbers of our donors. WhyHunger will use contact information (e-mail, telephone number and address) of donors for these purposes only:
