🌱 Our Commitment

Your privacy matters to us.
Le Collectif Racine (LCR) and Les Racines Connectées (LRC) believe that technology should nurture trust, not erode it.
We collect only what is needed to communicate with our community, and we handle all personal information with care, transparency, and respect.

🌾 What We Collect

Depending on how you engage with us, we may collect:

• Contact information — such as name and email, when you subscribe, volunteer, or reach out.

• Optional details — for example, interests or location if you choose to share them on forms like “Become a Sanctuary Steward.”

• Event photos or testimonials — only with consent, to document community gatherings.

• Technical data — such as limited analytics (via Substack or Google) to understand how people find our content.

We do not collect payment data, financial information, or sensitive personal identifiers through our website.

🌿 How We Use Your Information

We use the information you share to:

• Send newsletters, project updates, and community invitations.

• Respond to questions or collaboration proposals.

• Track participation in programs like The Living Sanctuary 001.

• Improve our communication and outreach.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

🌸 How We Store & Protect It

Information is stored securely through the platforms we use (Substack, Google, and related tools).
Access is limited to our small administrative team.
If you ever wish to update or delete your data, simply email contact@lecollectifracine.org and we’ll make it happen — no questions asked.

🌾 Cookies & Third-Party Services

Our website and newsletters may use minimal cookies or analytics via trusted third parties like Substack or Google.
These services have their own privacy policies, which apply in addition to ours.

🌸 Your Choices

You can unsubscribe or opt out of communications at any time using the link at the bottom of our emails.
You can also contact us directly to request full data removal.

🌙 Updates

As we grow, our privacy practices may evolve.
Any updates will appear on this page with a new date stamp.
We encourage you to revisit this policy from time to time.
