Part 1
Privacy Policy
Information we may collect
We may collect information that you choose to provide when you call, text, or otherwise contact us, such as your name, telephone number, message content, communication preferences, and details needed to respond to your request. Our website host and service providers may also process limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and security logs, to operate and protect the website.
Embedded Thrive Care application
The application displayed on our website is a Thrive Care application. Information you enter into that embedded application is submitted directly through Thrive Care's application system. Meal Support NY does not receive or store the information entered in that embedded application through this website. Thrive Care and the applicable Social Care Network or service providers may process that information under their own privacy practices and program requirements.
How we use information
We may use information we receive directly to:
- Respond to questions and requests for assistance.
- Provide requested information about meal support and related Social Care Network resources.
- Follow up after an attempted call, provide requested links, coordinate screening or referral steps, and send reminders or service updates.
- Send informational or marketing text messages when you have expressly agreed to receive them.
- Operate, secure, maintain, and improve our website and communications.
- Comply with applicable law and prevent fraud or misuse.
Data Sharing
Customer data is not shared with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes.
Mobile opt-in information and consent are never shared with anyone for any purpose. Any information sharing described elsewhere in this policy excludes mobile opt-in data.
We may use service providers that help us operate our website, telephone system, messaging service, security, or other essential business functions. They may process information only as needed to provide those services and may not use it for their own promotional purposes. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a business reorganization where legally permitted.
Data security and retention
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for information we control. No electronic system is completely secure. We retain information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, to meet legal obligations, or to resolve disputes.
Your Choices
You may ask us to update or delete information that we control by contacting us. Certain information may be retained when required by law or for legitimate recordkeeping. You can stop text messages at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP or call us at (718) 841-9382.
Children's privacy
Our website and messaging program are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
