FGS Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us, and we are committed to protecting it and respecting it. The following governs our use of the personal information you provide through all affiliated websites of The Fenway Garden Society (“FGS,” “we,” or “us”).

Guiding Principles
When we collect personal information from you, we generally require only the basic information needed for us to provide the service requested (e.g., to add you to the waitlist for a garden). Each interaction between you and FGS requires FGS to obtain basic information from you to complete your request.

At the same time, we endeavor to deliver as enhanced and personalized an online experience as possible. To improve and expand the ways we communicate what we do, what we have to offer, and to gather feedback from you on a wide range of topics, we must sometimes ask for you to opt to provide additional personal information.

Security
Personal information you give us is kept confidential and protected using industry-standard technology, including firewalls and secure socket layers ( a sophisticated internet encryption technology that scrambles data as it travels from your computer to our website's servers).

Note: Personal information stored on our database is securely encrypted and stored away from publicly-accessible areas of the website. No transmission of data over the internet or any other public network, however, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we make diligent efforts to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, we cannot warrant the security of information you transmit to us.

Cookies
This website employs cookie technology. A "cookie" is a small piece of information that a website asks your browser to store on your hard drive. This information helps the website "recognize" you instantly. Cookies recall information you entered before so you don't have to reenter it again, keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, tell us what pages on the site you previously visited, and help us determine whether you came to the site from a particular internet link. If you prefer, you can disable cookies on your browser settings. You may still use our website even with cookies disabled.

Member Information
Member information is never sold or rented.  Member information is available only to select leaders within FGSy during their leadership tenure so that they may fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of their leadership role. Any misuse of member information by any other member will not be tolerated. Members may not use member information for personal solicitation or personal gain.

We do not share your member information with anyone outside FGS. We will never sell, rent, or exchange your member information. However, within FGS, we may use email addresses collected to send communications about our work in general and about specific subjects which we believe may be of interest to you.

Your Consent
By using our website, you consent to the collection and use of personal information by FGS as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Once posted, such changes shall be effective immediately. Your continued use of this website shall be deemed as acceptance of the modified policy.

Please be aware that when you click on links that take you to third party websites, you will be subject to that third party's privacy policy, not ours. We are not responsible for the actions of third parties. 

We welcome feedback on our Privacy Policy. Please send to info@fenwayvictorygardens.org.
