We value your privacy! Please read this policy to understand how we protect and use information we collect about you.

Website Privacy Statement

This policy establishes how our organization will use information we gather about you from your visit to our website. The privacy of our members is of utmost importance to our organization.

If you visit one of our websites…

1. To read or download information:
   1. We may collect and store information for statistical purposes. For example, we may count the number of visitors to the different pages on our website to help make them more useful to visitors. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:
      1. The internet domain (for example, “verizon.com” if you use a private Internet access account, or “aschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain), any search terms you may have entered to get to our site, and your IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our Website;
      2. The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
      3. The date and time you access our site;
      4. The pages you visit; and
      5. If you visited this Website from a link on another Website, the address of that Website.
2. To send us an Email:
   1. By sending us email, you may be sending us personal information such as your name, address, and email address (and whatever you put in your email). We may store your email in order to respond to your request or otherwise resolve the subject matter of the email. Under limited circumstances, including requests from Congress or private individuals, we may be required by law to disclose the information you submit (this has never happened, but it theoretically could). Remember that email is not necessarily secure against interception. If your communication is very sensitive, or includes personal information like your Social Security number, you might want to send it by postal mail instead.
3. To register:
   1. Some of our Websites ask visitors and guests (customers of our retreat) to fill out registration forms. For example, users inquiring about a subscription or wanting to make a subscription or when paying a deposit from our booking site. Other information collected at websites through questionnaires, feedback forms, or other means, enables us to determine visitors’ interests, with the goal of providing better service to our subscribers.

The information that you provide on our Website will be used only for its intended purpose, except as required by law or if pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.

Regardless of the information being transmitted to us, we will protect all such information consistent with the principles of the Federal Records Act, the Privacy Act, CAN SPAM ACT, and as applicable, the Freedom of Information Act.

Food Waste and Recycling Waste Stream Metrics Collection

Vokashi, Inc. keeps detailed records on the amounts and types of food and recycling waste collected from each subscriber, member or customer. We do not share this detailed information with third parties! However, we do aggregate the data (removing subscriber names and contact details) and report totals by area, customer type and based on other general subscriber categories. Due to our need to report this aggregate total information to official agencies and partners we cannot allow subscribers to opt-out of this anonymous reporting. You agree to allow us to collect details about food waste pickups and report any of those details in an anonymous, aggregate way to any third party we deem necessary, by subscribing to any of our services. Thank you for understanding.

Google reCAPTCHA

WHEN A reCAPTCHA LOGO IS PRESENT, AT THE TIME OF LOGIN/CONTACT/PURCHASE FORM SUBMISSION ONLY (NOT USED WITHIN OTHER, GENERAL Online Community AREAS): We use ReCAPTCHA, who collects personal information from users to make the determination of whether they are human and not a bot to prevent SPAM. The reCAPTCHA algorithm checks to see if there is a Google cookie placed on the computer being used. An additional reCAPTCHA-specific cookie will then be added to the user’s browser allowing a complete snapshot of the user’s browser window at that moment in time.

• All cookies placed by Google over the last 6 months
• How many mouse clicks you’ve made on that screen (or touches on a touch device)
