Classy provides us with your personal information, but not your credit card information.

IP Address
Room to Grow also collects your IP address when you visit the site. The IP address does not contain or reveal personal information such as your name, address, e-mail address, or phone number. Room to Grow receives IP addresses from all visitors to the site, because this information is automatically reported by your browser each time you view a web page. Room to Grow may use this information to estimate the total number of users visiting our website. This information is never used to track or monitor individual users.

Disclosure and Security of Information 
We may share the personal information you provide us with outside contractors that provide us with specific products and services, such as newsletter mailing and database management, to be used for such purposes (e.g., we use Salesforce for customer relationship management and Constant Contact for email services).  These contractors (which, under the GDPR, are data processors), are subject to our vendor approval process. They are obligated to protect your personal information.  In the event of a sale, merger or consolidation or other transfer of all or substantially all our assets to a third party, we may transfer such information to such third party, provide such third party agrees to protect the confidentiality of this information, consistent with this Privacy Policy. Except as set forth above, Room to Grow will not share your personally identifiable information with any other organizations. We, or the third parties on our behalf, use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your personal information.

While your choice to remove yourself from our mailing list may limit your ability to receive information about our events and activities, it will not prevent you from requesting information from Room to Grow by other means.
