Privacy Policy

Effective July 7, 2026

Tryon Life Community Farm ("TLC Farm," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including when you:

  • Subscribe to our newsletter (name and email address);
  • Register for an event, workshop, or field trip;
  • Make a donation;
  • Volunteer or submit a booking, contact, or inquiry form.

Depending on the form, this may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any details you choose to include in a message. We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your browser type, device, and pages visited, to help us operate and improve the site.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Send newsletters and updates you have requested;
  • Process and confirm event registrations, bookings, and donations;
  • Respond to your questions and requests;
  • Coordinate volunteer and program participation;
  • Maintain records consistent with our nonprofit operations and legal obligations;
  • Understand how the site is used so we can improve it.

3. Constituent and donor records

We maintain a constituent-relationship database to manage our relationships with supporters, donors, volunteers, and event participants. Information you submit through this site may be stored in that system to help us serve you and steward our community responsibly.

4. Payment information

Donations and paid registrations are processed by third-party payment providers. Payment-card details are handled by those providers under their own security and privacy practices. We do not store full payment-card numbers on our servers.

5. Cookies and analytics

This site may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning, remember preferences, and understand usage. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies; doing so may affect some site features. If we use analytics services, they collect aggregated, non-identifying usage information.

6. Email and communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we may send periodic emails. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, and you may opt out at any time. Some transactional messages — such as event or donation confirmations — are sent in response to your specific actions.

7. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only:

  • With trusted service providers who help us operate the site, send email, process payments, or manage events, under obligations to protect your data;
  • When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of TLC Farm, our community, or others;
  • With your consent.

8. Third-party services

This site may embed or link to third-party services such as calendar feeds, payment processors, and social platforms. Those services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

9. Data retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal and financial obligations, and to maintain appropriate records of our nonprofit activities.

10. Your choices and rights

You may:

  • Unsubscribe from our newsletter using the link in any email;
  • Request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, subject to legal and recordkeeping requirements;
  • Ask questions about how your information is used.

To make a request, contact us using the details below.

11. Children's privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with a revised effective date.
