Privacy Policy

Personal Information Collection and Use

The personal information we collect from you may include, but is not limited to, name, title, organization, mailing address, email address, phone and fax numbers, and credit/debit card information. We also may collect information on your views and preferences as they relate to ANFP services. If you provide us with personal information, e.g., by sending an e-mail or by filling out a form and submitting it through the Site, we use that information to provide you with the information and services that you request, or to contact you about ANFP membership, news, surveys, products, services, and for other legitimate and lawful purposes.

ANFP stores and uses the information you provide about yourself when placing a request or order or to complete a transaction. ANFP also works with third party vendors to provide a more customized experience for you or to deliver content, materials and services. To do so, we may disclose personal information about you to those vendors, though we do not allow them to re-sell or use that information for their own purposes.

E-mail

We use the e-mail and payment information you provide to process your orders and to fulfill your requests for information. Supplier Members of Association of Nutrition and Foodservice Professionals do have access to current ANFP member names and email addresses. You can opt out of having your email address given to Supplier Members by checking the appropriate box on your annual dues notice or calling us at 1-800-323-1908. ANFP does not sell, rent, or trade e-mail addresses to any other organization, other than current ANFP Supplier Members. ANFP members who have access to selected, individual member e-mail addresses through the members-only ANFP Member Community must abide by the Policy for Usage (below).

ANFP may generate e-mail to users for the following purposes:

• To reply to an e-mail or request initiated by a member, customer, or website visitor.
• >To confirm purchase and/or provide a payment receipt resulting from a business transaction initiated with ANFP (e.g., purchase in the Marketplace, online dues payment).
• To deliver news and information (e.g., ANFP eNews).

Any ANFP member or recipient of e-mails generated by ANFP may opt-out by selecting “UNSUBSCRIBE” at the bottom of the email. ANFP expressly reserves the right to contact any member or other visitor regarding account status, renewals, or other matters relevant to subscription or service.

User Login

Web-based services are provided through the User Login system and are available only to members, certificants, customers, and individuals/companies with whom ANFP or CBDM has an established relationship. These services are provided through the User Login system. Web pages within User Login that display individual member information, such as continuing education hours and contact information, operate under a secure server environment, and although ANFP cannot guarantee against loss or misuse of information, reasonable precautions are taken to protect the security of this information. Users are responsible for securing their own user IDs and passwords, and should not share their login information with others. Users may change their own passwords at any time under User Login, or contact the ANFP for assistance.
