What we keep, and for how long.

What we collect

When you apply to the Farmer-in-Residence program, ask about the event space, offer to volunteer, or send any other inquiry, we keep what you typed into the form: your name, your email address, a phone number if you chose to give one, and the answers you wrote.

If you create an account, we also store your sign-in details. Passwords are stored as a one-way hash, so nobody at New Brooklyn Farms can read yours.

We do not run analytics, advertising trackers, or any third-party script on this site. The only cookie we set is the one that keeps you signed in.

Why we collect it

To reply to you, and to run the program you contacted us about. That is the whole list.

We link the messages you send us to one record of you, so that when you write again we can see what was already discussed rather than asking you to repeat yourself. We do not sell, rent, or share any of it with advertisers.

How long we keep it

Applications to the Farmer-in-Residence program are kept for three years. A growing season plus the time it usually takes someone to apply again, so that a returning applicant is not a stranger to us.

Other inquiries, including event space, custom production, partnership and volunteering, are kept for one year after we last spoke.

After that they are deleted. If you asked us to delete something sooner, we do it sooner.

Getting a copy, or having it deleted

Email us and ask. We will send you a copy of what we hold about you, correct it if it is wrong, or delete it, and we will confirm when it is done.

Deleting your record removes the messages you sent along with it, so if a conversation is still in progress we will say so before we do it.
