Our Commitment to Our Donors
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey (“CFBNJ”) is committed to safeguarding your privacy and personal data. As a nonprofit organization, CFBNJ operates with a single goal — to fight hunger and poverty in New Jersey by assisting those in need seeking long-term solutions. CFBNJ uses the donations it receives to fund programs in furtherance of that goal.
This Privacy Policy describes the kind of information we collect from you, how that information is used, and what kind of security measures we employ on our website. It applies to all information received by CFBNJ, both online and offline, as well as any electronic, written or oral communications.
Privacy Statement
This website is owned and operated by or on behalf of CFBNJ. We recognize that visitors to this website may be concerned about the information they provide us with and how we use and protect that information. By visiting our website, cfbnj.org, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post a notice of those changes on the Privacy Policy section of our website so that you will always have notice of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy in effect when the information was collected.
Our Policies
CFBNJ makes every effort to respect and protect the privacy of our online visitors and both online and offline donors and volunteers. We will not sell, share, rent or trade donor personal information, which includes your name, address, financial information, and email address, with any other entity, nor send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations.
Although unlikely, CFBNJ may be required to disclose personal information about our donors to the extent required by law. Disclosure may also occur if we consider it necessary to protect our legal rights or if the information relates to actual or threatened harmful conduct.
Data Collection
Personal Information
We do not collect personal information from you unless you provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly.
Volunteers: When you become a CFBNJ volunteer, we ask you to provide us certain personal information, including your name, telephone number, mailing address, and e-mail address. We use this information to populate our volunteer database and to contact you in connection with volunteer activities. By agreeing to become a CFBNJ volunteer, you will automatically be added to our mailing list.
Donations: When you give a financial donation to CFBNJ, we ask that you provide us with your name, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address and credit card information.
For online donation processing, CFBNJ uses secure data networks protected by industry standard firewalls and password protection systems. Only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our donors. Any other particularly sensitive information, such as a donor’s credit card number collected for a commerce transaction, is also encrypted prior to transmission.
Mobile and Text Messaging: Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties unless required by law.
See E-Commerce, below, for more information regarding our secure third-party vendors.
Although CFBNJ operates secure data networks, no Internet transmission can be guaranteed 100% secure. While we do everything we can to protect your data, you use this site and its services at your own risk.

If your information changes (such as your e-mail address or zip code), please contact us to update your information.
