This privacy policy describes how Food Aid Map ("we", "us") collects and uses information when you visit our website. It is intended to be plain-English and unambiguous.
What we collect
Food Aid Map does not require you to create an account. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifying information through normal browsing.
Like most websites, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs that include your IP address, user agent (browser and operating system), the page you requested, and a timestamp. These logs are used solely for security monitoring, debugging, and aggregate traffic statistics. We do not link them to individual visitors.
Cookies
Food Aid Map itself does not set cookies for tracking, advertising, or personalization. We do not maintain user profiles across visits.
Advertising
Food Aid Map does not currently display advertising. If advertising is ever added, ads will appear in clearly marked slots and this policy will be updated first, including details of any cookies or tracking technologies the ad provider uses.
Search queries
When you search for a pantry by ZIP code or text, your query is matched against a static listing index directly in your browser. Beyond the standard server log entry for the page request itself, queries are not stored, profiled, or shared with third parties.
Children
Food Aid Map is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the bottom of this page reflects the most recent change.
