Terms of Service
The Italian Foundation for Food Education (Fondazione Italiana per l'Educazione Alimentare – Food Education Italy), hereinafter referred to as “FEI,” is owner of the website www.foodedu.it. FEI can, at its sole discretion, modify or correct these Terms of Service at anytime, updating this page.
Website aims and audience
The website www.foodedu.it aims to:
- promote knowledge about all food education activities carried out in Italy and abroad by public and private entities;
- share results, information, tools, projects, initiatives and opportunities, opinions and perspectives inherent to food education studies and activities;
- promote cultural and scientific knowledge about nutrition, and projects and initiatives to further nutrition research in Italy.
The website caters to a vast and heterogeneous audience: teachers, school principals, students and their families, school personnel, educators and professionals, volunteers and all those interested in receiving information about food education and about the initiatives promoted by FEI in support of food education and healthy eating habits, including the gathering of monetary and professional resources to achieve FEI’s statutory aims.
Membership and free online donations
Through its website FEI supports its statutory aim of raising funds, in the form of free donations and membership fees, to be used to manage its projects, ensure its operation and carry out scientific, cultural and methodological research on food education. Fees and donations are received through wire transfers and PayPal payments. More information on how to become a member or make a donation can be found on the website. No other party is authorized to collect funds on behalf of FEI.
Medical-scientific information
Medical-scientific information contained in FEI’s website should in no way be taken as a substitute for professional medical advice, and is simply a resource used to disseminate knowledge relating, in particular, to food education activities and research, and the progress achieved by the latter.
Advertising and sources of funding
The www.foodedu.it website and its maintenance are financed entirely by FEI, a non-profit private entity with public service aims.
The website is not financed (through banners or ads) by public or private entities and does not accept advertising from external public or private entities. Ads and banners that might be present may relate to initiatives, activities or projects promoted directly by FEI or its members.
Processing of personal data
The website requires users to provide their personal data only when they apply to become members of FEI, make a donation, or subscribe to the newsletter. Providing personal data is entirely discretionary, and refusal to do so bears no consequence other than not being able to access the services just mentioned. When gathering data for online donations, the website expressly asks users whether they consent to the processing of their personal data and the mailing of FEI’s newsletter. User consent is required to register on the website and to make an online donation. Users can easily choose not to receive the newsletter and still make a donation (following Law Decree of 30 June 2003, no. 196 - CODICE IN MATERIA DI PROTEZIONE DEI DATI PERSONALI - Art. 130, comma 4).
