Our Data Promise

The Church of Pentecost Calgary – Food Bank and its partner organizations value the communities we work with and the individuals that choose to use our services. Our promise to you is that:

• We will treat you and your information with dignity and respect.
• If you do not want to provide your information or you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, we respect that choice and will do our best to provide services to you no matter what. We will trust your answers and will always provide our best service no matter what.
• We will keep your information safe and secure.
• We will guard the information that you provide us to the best of our ability. We will not share your personal, individual information with anyone outside of this partner network.  
• We will only use this information to provide better services for you.
• By providing your information to us, you help us to tailor our services to community needs as best as we can. We will not use this information to monitor your individual activity or limit services to you. Anyone accessing your information will only do so to log services provided or update your profile. 

What is Link2Feed? Link2Feed is an electronic information tool provided to The Church of Pentecost Calgary – Food Bank by Food Banks Canada. This tool makes it easier for food banks to manage information about the community they serve while fulfilling reporting requirements.

What information will you collect? You get to choose what information you want to share with us. We respect your right to choose, but hope that you will tell us more about yourself. If you would prefer not to provide certain information just let the staff know.

What questions do I have to answer? We will ask you some basic questions, including the following:

• First and last name
• Address
• Date of Birth
• Number of people in your household

We will also ask about your housing type, education level, and the names and dates of birth of your household members. Answering these questions is not required to receive food, but we hope that you will. 

Will I have to do this every time? No. Using Link2Feed allows us to store your information electronically and make future visits quicker. We will just ask you to verify and update your information from time to time.

Is my information secure? Yes. Link2Feed has very high security standards, and volunteers can only see the information that they need to see. Recording information in this way is much safer than recording it on paper. 

Who has access to my information? Only certain people can log into the system. The Church of Pentecost Calgary – Food Bank and Food Banks Canada can run reports to look for trends and learn more about the community, but the reports will not identify any specific individual’s information.
