We use demographic data primarily for reporting to our funders and for telling more accurate stories about how hunger affects different communities. Data is reported in aggregate, meaning your personal information (such as your name, address, or contact information) is never tied to the demographic information we share. For example, we might share that 50% of our community shopping in the market self-identified as Hispanic/Latine, but we will never share a list of names of shoppers.

Other information, such as contact information (email, phone number, address), is never shared outside of Metro Caring. We do not sell any information to other organizations or businesses for any reason.

In many cases, you may choose "Prefer not to say" to opt out of disclosing certain demographic information.
