The Soup Kitchen utilizes an online volunteer sign-up system that is integrated into our Website. Use of this system requires you to input personal information such as that contained under “Data you provide”. Data collected will be used for the purpose of volunteer sign-up, co-ordination and communication. Your use of the volunteer sign-up system integrated with our Site constitutes your acknowledgment of the data collection statement.

Security Information

We use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect data under our control. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you feel that the security of any data that we hold about you has been compromised, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us.

When you send sensitive information (such as your credit card number) to us via our donation form, that information is encrypted and protected with SSL, the current industry standard encryption protocol. When you are on such an SSL protected page, a picture of a closed lock appears at the bottom or top of some Web browsers. At other times this lock appears open. Another way to tell if you are on a secure page is to look at the address or URL of the page. (Look in the address box or right click on the page and select "Properties".) These secure SSL encrypted pages have URLs that start with https:// instead of http://.
