Information Collection and Use
Currently, we do not collect information at the Food Allergy Project Site. We do, however, provide you with the ability to submit email messages. Namely, if you are at a computer with access to an email program that is registered to your email account, when you select our mailing list link, a pre-addressed email message will come up in your email program, directed to FoodAllergyInfo@FoodAllergyProject.org. In that message, we ask that you provide us with your name, email address, and where you live (city, state and zip code).
We use the information you submit to add you to our public list of supporters, to send you emails about food allergy updates, to keep you informed of any activities happening in your area, and for other business purposes, including sending you notices about Food Allergy Project, its products or services, or other products, services or information in which we believe you may be interested. As a supporter, your name and city may be included in the list of supporters that we publicly distribute, for example to members of Congress from whom we are attempting to garner support. We may also share your information with trusted third parties in whose products or services we believe you may be interested. We also may ask that you allow us to list you publicly as a supporter in our press materials, on our web site, or in other forums we deem appropriate. As part of our regular business conduct, we also share information with our agents, as well as, where applicable any subsidiaries, or affiliates. In the unlikely event that there is a change of corporate ownership, the new owners will of course be provided with Food Allergy Project files, including information you have submitted. We will also share information with government officials in order to cooperate with a legitimate investigation. We may also share aggregate information, such as the total number of our supporters, by posting the information in our press materials. We may also contact you to ask you to be listed in our
