Archway Community Services Privacy Policy – Food Bank website
The collection of personal information on our website
Our website has a number of places where people can provide personal information to either connect to our services, get involved with us or donate money.
Our forms are designed so that you only need to provide the minimum required amount of personal information to complete your request or activity.
Further, our donations form (Donate) and food drives and fundraiser idea application (Get Involved) have additional security on them to ensure your information only goes to where it is supposed to and is only used how you have requested.
Our site uses cookies to track visits so that we know how many people are using our website and what types of information they are looking for. This tracking is anonymous and Archway cannot use these tools to identify you personally. However, our site is linked to Google Analytics, which can result in the collection and use of data by Google.

Definition of personal information
Personal information is defined as “information about an identifiable individual”. This is information like your name, phone number, address and email address as well as any other information that could be connected to you.
On our website, we have taken care to design our forms so that there is very little personal information you provide us before you send it. However, if you do want to complete our forms, all our forms need a minimum of your name, and your email address. For the forms that ask for additional personal information when you’re donating we have added an extra layer of security on our website.
