Privacy & Security Policy
Overview
Bedford Garden Club (“we,” or “our”) recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of information we collect from you. We are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal information.
This Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect information, including personal information. We are committed to collecting, using, storing, sharing, and protecting personal information responsibly. By using our website, you consent to the collection of personal information. Information that is provided will only be used, stored, and shared for the purposes for which you have consented. This Policy covers both online and offline activities, including information that we collect through our website, events, and phone (among other methods).
By using this website (“Bedford Garden Club”) you are agreeing to be bound by the current version of the terms of use provided herein.
If we want to change the way we handle your information, we will post those changes in this Privacy & Security Policy. For material changes (i.e., substantially new practices you would not expect from us or that we didn’t previously tell you about), we may decide to notify you more prominently and/or give you prior choice. We reserve the right to make changes to our practices and this Policy at any time, provided we follow the procedures above.
What information do we collect?
Depending on how you interact with the Bedford Garden Club, we may collect from you various types of information, which are described in more detail below. In some instances (and unless we say otherwise below), we may combine one type of information with another, and store them together in our records. In all cases, however, we strive to limit the amount of information we collect and store to that which is necessary to provide you the relevant services.

In some cases, this could include information that you give us about someone. We typically collect personal contact information for registration activities, contests and promotions, and customer feedback.

Other security measures
In addition to the methods above, we may take other measures to protect your information, depending on the sensitivity of the data and other considerations (such as how the information is collected and where it is stored). These measures may include (among other things) additional access restrictions, password requirements, and physical protections (e.g., secure data centers, etc.).

We do not collect information from children.
We do not solicit or collect any type of information from a person known to be under the age of 13. If we discover that we have accidentally collected information from a child, we will remove that information from our records as soon as feasibly possible (or obtain the necessary parental permission to retain it).

If you prefer not to receive email messages, text messages or other communications from us about promotions or events, you may opt out at any time from receiving such messages by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in such email or text message you received.
