Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 05/05/2026

At Pugh Prairie Gardens, we respect your privacy as much as we respect the land we steward. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or engage with our programs, how we use it, and how we keep it safe. By using our website or participating in our events, you agree to the terms outlined here.

1. What Information We Collect

Information You Give Us Directly

When you interact with Pugh Prairie Gardens, whether you’re signing up for our newsletter, making a donation, registering for an event, or simply reaching out with a question, you may share personal information with us, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and payment information where applicable.

Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, ours automatically collects certain non-personal information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This helps us understand how people find and use our site so we can keep improving it.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to run Pugh Prairie Gardens as effectively and transparently as possible. Specifically, we use it to process donations and event registrations, communicate with you about upcoming events and conservation news, respond to your questions and inquiries, improve our website and visitor experience, and meet any legal obligations that apply to us as a 501(c3) non-profit.

We do not sell your personal information. Ever.

3. When We Share Your Information

Trusted Service Providers:We work with a small number of third-party service providers, such as payment processors and email platforms, who help us operate our website and programs. These partners are required to protect your information and may only use it for the specific purposes we’ve agreed upon.
Legal Requirements:We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid request from a public authority.
Organizational Changes:In the unlikely event of a merger or transfer of assets, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website if your information is affected.

4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies, small data files stored on your device, to help us recognize returning visitors and remember preferences. We use three types: essential cookies that keep the site functioning, performance cookies that help us understand visitor behavior, and functional cookies that remember your preferences for a smoother experience.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may limit some features of our site.

5. Keeping Your Information Safe

We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or misuse. That said, no method of internet transmission is completely foolproof, and we encourage you to reach out if you ever have concerns.

6. Your Rights

You are always in control of your personal information. You have the right to request access to what we hold about you, ask us to correct any inaccuracies, request deletion of your information subject to legal requirements, and opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking unsubscribe in any of our emails or contacting us directly.

7. Children’s Privacy

Pugh Prairie Gardens does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have done so in error, please contact us right away, and we will address it promptly.

8. Links to Other Websites

Our site may occasionally link to third-party websites we don’t operate such as conservation partners or community organizations. We’re not responsible for their privacy practices, so we encourage you to review their policies when you visit.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our programs and legal obligations evolve. Any changes take effect immediately upon posting. We’ll notify you of significant updates by email or through a notice on our website.

Questions or Concerns?

We’re a small, passionate team, and we genuinely welcome your questions. If anything, here is unclear or you’d like to know more about how we handle your information, please get in touch.
