How are personal data and images captured during the event used?

Where can I drop off goods for the collection campaign? What kind of goods are accepted?
The collection of essential goods runs throughout the week, with collection points at every constituent body of U.Porto. The goods collected are delivered to the Porto´s Food Bank. A paper collection, also benefiting the Porto´s Food Bank, runs at the same time.
