Depending on how someone interacts with the site, Rainbow Meadow may collect information such as:

• name
• email address
• phone number
• message contents submitted through forms or email
• newsletter or update signup information
• basic website usage information, such as page visits or browser activity

Rainbow Meadow does not aim to collect more personal information than is reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, manage communications, operate the website, or improve the visitor experience.

2. How information may be collected

Information may be collected when someone:

• fills out a contact form
• joins an update or newsletter list
• submits a site or partnership lead
• contacts Rainbow Meadow by email, phone, or text
• uses the website in the normal course of browsing

3. How information may be used

Rainbow Meadow may use collected information to:

• respond to messages and inquiries
• send updates or email communications people asked to receive
• review partnership, property, or project-related opportunities
• improve the website, communication materials, or user experience
• protect the site against spam, misuse, or abuse

Information will be used in ways reasonably connected to operating, growing, and stewarding Rainbow Meadow.

4. Email updates and communications

If someone signs up for updates, Rainbow Meadow may send emails about project progress, milestones, new pages, significant developments, or related updates.

People can unsubscribe from email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in the message, when available, or by contacting Rainbow Meadow directly.

5. Contact forms, inquiry forms, and messages

If someone reaches out through a contact form, email, text, or another communication channel, Rainbow Meadow may keep that information for as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain context, or continue an ongoing conversation.

Messages related to site leads, partnership ideas, or project development may be retained as part of normal project stewardship and communication history.

6. Website analytics, cookies, and basic usage data

Like many websites, Rainbow Meadow may use basic analytics tools, cookies, or similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site. This can include information such as traffic patterns, pages viewed, approximate device information, or referral sources.

This information is generally used to improve the website and understand what content is most helpful to visitors.

7. Donations or payments through third parties

If Rainbow Meadow later offers donations, payments, or financial support through third-party platforms, those services may collect and process payment-related information according to their own terms and privacy practices.

Rainbow Meadow does not intend to store full payment card information directly on its own website.

8. When information may be shared

Rainbow Meadow does not intend to sell personal information. Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary, such as with:

• website hosting providers
• email marketing or newsletter services
• form or spam protection tools
• analytics providers
• professional advisors when needed for legitimate project or legal purposes

Information may also be disclosed if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or integrity of Rainbow Meadow or others.

9. How information is protected

Rainbow Meadow intends to use reasonable measures to protect the information it receives. That said, no website, email system, or online platform can guarantee absolute security.

People should avoid sending highly sensitive financial or personal information through ordinary email or contact forms unless truly necessary.

10. Data retention

Information may be kept only for as long as reasonably needed for communication, project stewardship, legal compliance, recordkeeping, or operational purposes.

When information is no longer needed, Rainbow Meadow may delete it, anonymize it, or stop actively using it.

11. Children’s privacy

Rainbow Meadow’s website is not intended for children to submit personal information directly. If information from a child is believed to have been submitted unintentionally, Rainbow Meadow may remove it when appropriate.

12. External links

This website may contain links to outside websites, social platforms, donation platforms, or third-party services. Rainbow Meadow is not responsible for the privacy practices of those outside services.

Visitors should review the privacy policies of any outside service they choose to use.

13. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as Rainbow Meadow’s website, tools, and operations evolve. When meaningful updates are made, the “Last updated” line at the top of this page should also be changed.
