Factory Farming Awareness Coalition (“Factory Farming Awareness Coalition”, “FFAC”, ”, “we”, or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our supporters and the personal information provided to or collected by us. This Privacy Policy explains the way we collect information from you, how it is used, and with whom it may be shared. It also identifies the security procedures in place to protect your information and what choices are available to you regarding the use of your data. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Each time you use our site, the current version of the Privacy Policy will apply. Accordingly, whenever you use our site, you should check the date of this Privacy Policy (which appears at the top) and review any changes since the last version. This Privacy Policy applies to all site visitors and users.
FFAC does not share or sell your personal information.
We collect two types of information about you: personal information (such as, your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address), and non-personal, aggregate information (such as information regarding the pages you have visited and your IP address).
We collect information when you complete an online form (such as subscribing to our email updates or registering for our events), make a donation, sign up to be a volunteer, apply for one of our student leadership programs, or submit a question for Veg Support.. This information may include your name, phone number, email address and/or mailing address. Factory Farming Awareness Coalition partners with NGP VAN, Inc., operating under the name EveryAction, a customer relationship management platform, to collect and process much of this information. More about EveryAction’s privacy policy can be found on their website.
Factory Farming Awareness Coalition does not see, store, or retain credit card numbers submitted online, which are processed directly through our payment processor partners (primarily Direct Connect and PayPal).

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your web browser by a website you visit.

Factory Farming Awareness Coalition uses cookies to help us monitor traffic and collect information about the use of our sites. When you use and access our sites, we may place a number of cookies files in your web browser.
We use cookies to enable certain functions of our sites, to provide analytics, and to store your preferences.
We use both session and persistent cookies on our sites and we use different types of cookies:
Factory Farming Awareness Coalition also uses Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. It is only used to improve how our services work. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage
You can typically remove or reject cookies via your browser settings. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings”, “help”, “tools”, or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings.

We may also use pixel tags (which are also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) on our sites to track the actions of users on our sites.

The information we collect using pixel tags is not linked to our users’ personal information.
The California Online Privacy Protection Act protects your right to visit our website anonymously. Some Internet browsers - like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari - include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for “DNT” signals have not been adopted, our websites do not currently process or respond to “DNT” signals. Factory Farming Awareness Coalition takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard. To learn more about “DNT”, please visit All About Do Not Track. If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, try this browser add-on: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
