Cultivate Toledo respects the people who support our work, and that starts with being straightforward about information. This policy covers what we collect on cultivatetoledo.org, how we use it, and the choices you have.
What we collect. If you join our email list, we collect your name and email address. If you donate, our payment processor Zeffy handles the transaction and shares your name, contact information, and gift details with us — your card number never touches our systems. If you email us, we keep the correspondence. Like most websites, we also collect anonymous usage data (pages visited, device type, general location) through cookies.
How we use it. To send you the harvest report you signed up for, provide donation receipts and acknowledgments, respond when you write to us, keep the donor records the law requires, and understand how people use the site so we can improve it.
Our donor privacy pledge. We do not sell, rent, or trade our donor or subscriber lists with anyone, for any reason. Your relationship is with us alone.
Cookies. This site uses cookies for analytics — small files that help us see how the site is used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site works fine without them.
Third parties we rely on. Zeffy (donation processing), Google (site analytics), and Mailchimp (our newsletter). Each has its own privacy policy, and we choose vendors that take data protection seriously.
Your choices. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link that works immediately. You may also ask us at any time what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it: info@cultivatetoledo.org.
Children. This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes and contact. We will update this page as our practices change, and the date above always reflects the current version. Questions: info@cultivatetoledo.org, or Cultivate Toledo, 1301 N Summit St, Toledo, OH 43604.
Every farm we build is a business we launch.
A Cultivate Toledo farm is a micro-enterprise: built in 150 days, operated by a trained farmer, and earning income from its first harvest. Your gift funds the build — land preparation, hoop house, irrigation, beds. The farmer's own revenue carries it from there. Give once, or grow with us monthly.
