Effective Date: August 3, 2026
Amana Healthcare ("Amana Healthcare," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when you visit our website, contact us, participate in our community programs, or express interest in partnering with us.

- Cookie and website analytics information.
2. Health and Program Information
Some Amana Healthcare programs may support community members who are at risk of diabetes, hypertension, or other chronic health conditions. If eligibility screening requires health-related information, we will collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate the program.
Please do not submit medical records, Social Security numbers, insurance information, or other highly sensitive information through a general website contact form. When sensitive information is required, Amana Healthcare will provide an appropriate and more secure method for submitting it.
Participation in an Amana Healthcare program does not establish a medical provider-patient relationship. Our programs and website content are not substitutes for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
3. How We Use Information
We may use collected information to:
- Respond to questions and requests.
- Communicate about Amana Healthcare's programs and services.
- Review partnership, volunteer, or referral inquiries.
- Determine or confirm program eligibility.
- Coordinate community services and program participation.
- Improve our website, programs, and outreach efforts.
- Measure program participation and community impact.
- Send updates when a person has agreed to receive them.
- Protect our website and prevent fraud or misuse.
- Meet legal, regulatory, grant, reporting, or contractual requirements.
We will not use personal information for purposes that are materially different from those described in this policy without providing appropriate notice.
4. How We Share Information
Amana Healthcare does not sell personal information.
We may share limited information with:
- Employees, volunteers, or authorized representatives who need it to perform their responsibilities.
- Healthcare, food-access, community, referral, funding, or program partners involved in providing requested services.
- Technology companies that support our website, email, forms, databases, or communications.
- Government agencies, funders, or evaluators when required for reporting, provided that information will be aggregated or de-identified whenever reasonably possible.
- Legal or regulatory authorities when disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect someone's safety or Amana Healthcare's rights.
Service providers are permitted to use information only for the services they perform on our behalf.
When a program requires information to be shared with a partner, we may provide additional notice or request the participant's authorization before sharing it.
5. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to function properly, understand website traffic, remember preferences, and improve the visitor experience.
Third-party analytics providers may collect technical information about website use. You can limit certain cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the operation of some website features.
Amana Healthcare does not use sensitive health information for targeted advertising.
6. Email and Text Communications
If you choose to receive emails or text messages from Amana Healthcare, we may use the contact information you provide to send program notices, appointment reminders, community updates, or other requested communications.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message. You may stop text messages by replying STOP. Standard message and data rates may apply.
Stopping promotional communications will not prevent Amana Healthcare from sending necessary administrative or program-related messages when permitted by law.
7. Information Security
Amana Healthcare uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use caution when sending sensitive information electronically.
8. Information Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Provide requested services.
- Administer our programs.
- Maintain required records.
- Complete grant or program reporting.
- Resolve disputes.
- Meet legal, contractual, and regulatory obligations.
Information that is no longer needed will be securely deleted, destroyed, or de-identified when reasonably practicable.
9. Children's Privacy
Amana Healthcare's website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental or legal guardian consent.
If you believe that a child has submitted personal information without appropriate permission, please contact us so that we can review and delete it when required.
10. Your Choices and Privacy Requests
Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:
- Confirm whether we maintain your personal information.
- Correct inaccurate or outdated information.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a privacy request. Some information may be retained when required by law, contract, funding requirements, or legitimate program-administration needs.
11. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to websites operated by community partners or other organizations. Amana Healthcare does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. We encourage you to review each organization's privacy policy before providing personal information.
