We collect little, and we never sell it.

If you subscribe to our field notes, we store your email address with our email provider (Buttondown) solely to send occasional updates. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe, and we never sell or rent the list.

When you contact us or join a trip interest list, we receive the details you submit (name, email, and what you tell us) by email so we can respond. We keep it only as long as needed to follow up.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We receive confirmation and the shipping details needed to fulfill an order; we never see or store your full card number. Stripe’s handling of payment data is governed by Stripe’s own privacy policy.

This site is intentionally lightweight. We do not run advertising trackers or sell behavioral data. Any basic, privacy-respecting analytics are used only to understand which pages are useful.

You can unsubscribe from emails at any time, and you can ask us to correct or delete the information you’ve shared by emailing info@thecommunitygarden.org.

Photos, names, and stories of the people and communities we work with are shared only with their consent, and withheld wherever privacy or dignity call for it.
