PRIVACY POLICY

Food System Strategies, Inc. | Effective October 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Food System Strategies, Inc. (“Food System Strategies,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information collected through our website. It covers information you provide through the Contact and Newsletter forms and information collected when you browse the site. It does not govern information handled under a separate client, vendor, or other written agreement.

Information you provide

When you use our Contact form, you may provide your first and last name, company, role, email address, phone number, and the information you include in your message. If you choose the newsletter option, we also use your name and email address to send newsletter updates. Newsletter signup is optional. You may also provide information when you email or otherwise contact us.

Information collected when you visit

Our website is hosted on Wix. Wix and the website may collect technical information needed to operate and secure the site, such as your IP address, browser and device details, pages viewed, referring page, and the date and time of a visit. The site may use cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are needed for core site functions and security. Analytics or other nonessential tracking may be used only if enabled on the site; the specific tools and controls depend on the site settings.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries, understand and follow up on requests, provide services you ask us about, send newsletters to people who opt in, operate and protect the website, understand site performance, and meet legal obligations. We do not use website-form information to make decisions about eligibility for employment, housing, credit, insurance, or other similarly significant services.

Newsletter choices

If you subscribe, we may send you updates about Food System Strategies, our work, and related resources. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a newsletter. We may retain a record of your preference so we can honor it.

Cookies and analytics

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. If our site displays a cookie banner, you can use it to manage optional cookies. Blocking essential cookies may affect some site features. Wix may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and protect its platform. If we enable third-party analytics, advertising pixels, or other tracking tools, those providers may collect information under their own privacy notices. We will update this policy and available site controls if our use of these tools changes.

When information may be shared

We do not sell personal information collected through this website, and we do not use it for targeted advertising. We may make information available to Wix and other service providers that help us host the site, manage forms or newsletters, maintain security, or perform related business functions. They may use information only to provide services to us and subject to their applicable terms. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business reorganization, transfer, or similar transaction.

Retention and security

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to you, maintaining business records, honoring newsletter preferences, and meeting legal requirements. Retention may vary by the type of information and the service that stores it. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information, but no website or method of storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your choices and requests

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information you submitted through the website, or withdraw a newsletter subscription. Email nicole@foodsystemstrategies.com with your request. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where required or permitted by law. We will respond as required by applicable law.

Third-party websites

Our website may link to third-party sites, including LinkedIn. Those sites operate independently and have their own privacy practices. This policy does not apply to information collected by third parties through their sites or services.

Children and policy changes

This website is intended for a general business audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the site. We may update this policy as our practices or legal requirements change. The effective date above shows when it was last revised.
