Privacy Policy

Sharing Excess knows that you care how information about you is used and shared. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect on sharingexcess.com, how we use it, and the choices you can make. It applies to information collected through this public website — not to our separate food-rescue platform or mobile apps, which have their own policies.

We may update this page from time to time; the version and effective date will change when we do.

We collect information in a few ways:

• When you reach out. If you contact us, subscribe to updates, volunteer, partner, or donate through this site, we may collect your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and the content of your message.
• When you donate. Online donations are processed by FundraiseUp, our third-party donation partner. Payment details are handled directly by them — we do not store credit or debit card numbers on our servers.
• When you browse. With your consent, we collect limited usage data — such as pages visited, links clicked, and general device and browser information — to understand how people use our site and improve it.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your questions and requests
• Send updates you have asked to receive
• Process and acknowledge donations
• Understand how visitors use our website and improve the experience
• Protect the security and integrity of our site

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personally identifiable information. We may share aggregated, non-identifying statistics — for example, general traffic trends — with partners and supporters.

When you first visit, we ask for your consent before enabling analytics tools. You can accept or reject at any time using the banner at the bottom of the page.

If you accept, we may use:

• PostHog — to understand how people navigate the site and to help us fix issues
• Google Ads — to measure whether donation campaigns are working

Your consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage so we can remember it on future visits. If you reject analytics, those tools stay off.

We honor Do Not Track signals where supported. We do not use analytics to collect personally identifiable information.

Some features on this site are provided by trusted third parties. When you use them, their privacy policies also apply:

• FundraiseUp — processes online donations
• Google — conversion measurement when analytics consent is granted
• PostHog — website analytics when consent is granted

Embedded maps and media on some pages may also be served by their respective providers.

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Sensitive information exchanged through this site is transmitted over encrypted connections (SSL/TLS).

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

• Analytics. Use the cookie consent banner to accept or reject analytics at any time.
• Email. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any message we send.
• Your information. To update or delete personal information you have shared with us, email contact@sharingexcess.com.

If you provide your mobile phone number, you may receive SMS text messages from Sharing Excess about updates and important notifications. Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. We do not share your phone number with third parties for their marketing without your consent.

This website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have received such information, please contact us and we will delete it.
