Privacy Policy

Crawford County Commission on Aging
Privacy Policy

Last Revised: November 23, 2015

Crawford County Commission on Aging respects your privacy.

CrawfordCOA.org is a licensee of Crawford County Commission on Aging. If you have questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, you should first contact Crawford County Commission on Aging using our contact form here or call 989.348.7123. This policy covers only information that is collected through this Site, and does not cover information that may be collected through software downloaded from the Site.

Other than as described in this Policy, we will not give any information about you to others without your express permission.

Information Collection and Use

Our Site uses forms in which you give us contact information (including your name, address, telephone number, and email address) so you can make donations, request information and support, and make product suggestions. For certain services, we may also request a credit card number. We do not store credit card information.

We receive and store any information you enter on our Site or give us in any other way, including through email, telephone, or other communications with our customer service department. If you contact us for support, we will keep an internal record of what support was given.

We use information gathered about you from our Site statistics (for example, your IP address) to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Site. We also gather broad demographic information from this data to help us improve our Site and make your browsing and purchasing experience more enjoyable. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information, except as necessary to prevent fraud or abuse on our system.

Our Site uses cookies to keep track of your shopping cart and receipts. We use cookies to identify you so you don’t need to log in each time you visit our Site. The cookies are linked to your customer number, which is associated with the information in your account.

This Site also contains links to other websites. Unfortunately,  Crawford County Commission on Aging is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites.

Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement

We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including without limitation subpoenas), to protect our property and rights or the property and rights of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.

Third Party Service Providers

We may at times provide information about you to third parties to provide various services on our behalf, such as processing credit card payments, conducting contests or surveys, performing analyses of our products or customer demographics, shipping of goods or services, and customer relationship management. We will only share information about you that is necessary for the third party to provide the requested service. These companies are prohibited from retaining, sharing, storing or using your personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

In the event that we use third party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf, these companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gift or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.

Supplementation of Information

In order to provide certain services to you, we may on occasion supplement the personal information you submit to us with information from third party sources (e.g., information from our strategic partners, service providers, or the United States Postal Service).  We do this to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our products and services to you, and to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you.

Contests/Surveys

From time-to-time, we may provide you with the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys. If you choose to participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these contests or surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose the requested information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code and age level – note that you must be 18 or above to enter). We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, to monitor site traffic, and to personalize our Site.

We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests. When we do, that company will be prohibited from using our users’ personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice.

What Happens to my Personal Information if I Terminate my  Crawford County Commission on Aging Account?

When your  Crawford County Commission on Aging account is cancelled (either voluntarily or involuntarily) all of your personally identifiable information is placed in “deactivated” status on our relevant  Crawford County Commission on Aging databases. However, deactivation of your account does not mean your personally identifiable information has been deleted from our database entirely. We will retain and use your personally identifiable information if necessary in order to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

Transfer of Data Abroad

If you are visiting this Site from a country other than the country in which our servers are located, your communications with us may result in the transfer of information across international boundaries.  By visiting this Site and communicating electronically with us, you consent to such transfers.

Changes in Our Practices

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy Policy and any other places we deem appropriate, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

If we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page, at least thirty (30) days prior to the implementation of the changes.

2024 Grayling Community Garden Plot Usage Agreement

By submitting my application to use a community garden plot at the Grayling Community Garden (GCG) in 2024, I understand and agree to the following:

  1. I will use my plot to cultivate and maintain a personal organic garden.
    1. I will primarily use my plot to grow plants for my household to use.
    2. Plot usage is non-commercial (I will not sell anything I grow, processed or raw)
    3. Plot usage is non-transferable (I will not sublease my plot)
  2. The month of May will be used for garden maintenance and to prepare for the upcoming season from June 1, 2024 – October 31, 2024.
  3. I agree to dedicate 5 hours or more of volunteer time to the overall maintenance of the garden.
  4. I will pay my plot usage fee in full before I begin gardening my plot. There is a $25.00 fee for each garden plot. Scholarships are available for those unable to pay the $25.00 fee.
  5. I will garden organically and follow best practice gardening guidelines set forth by GCG. (See Attachment A: Grayling Community Garden Guidelines)
  6. I will maintain my plot to be reasonably visually appealing at all times.
    1. My plot will be actively cultivated at least from June 1, 2024- October 31, 2024
    2. Garden Plots must be kept free of weeds, pests, and disease, without the use of synthetic herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides.
    3. All plants must be kept within the limits of your plot.
    4. All gardeners will keep walking paths and surrounding areas clean, neat, and weed free.
    5. Weeds shall be disposed of in the designated garbage bins.
    6. I will pack out my own trash because garbage service is not included in this agreement.
    7. I will not install any fixtures (like fences) in or around my plot. Seasonal trellises with the primary purpose of supporting vegetative plant growth are allowed.
    8. I am responsible for and have access to my plot from the date it is assigned to me, until October 31, 2024.
  7. I will not plant any illegal plant or marijuana.
  8. It is strictly prohibited to take food or plants from other garden plots. Doing so will result in immediate removal from the garden and no refund will be given.
  9. I will make my best effort to leave my plot in as good, or better, condition as it was when it was first assigned to me. All gardeners must clear their garden beds by November 1st.
  10. I understand that anyone who gardens in my plot is required to be a member. If multiple people (family members, friends, etc.) will be gardening in the plot each person is required to be listed on the registration form as a Garden member. I will not allow non-members to help me garden in my plot.
  11. I will work to keep the garden a happy, secure, and enjoyable place where all participants can garden and socialize peacefully in a neighborly manner.
  12. Guests (including children) may enter the garden only if they are accompanied by a registered gardener. Children must always be supervised. Registered gardeners are responsible for the behavior of their guests.
  13. I will respect all gardeners, their guests, and the Community Garden Grounds.
    1. Abusive, profane, or discriminatory language or actions will not be tolerated.
    2. I will follow all applicable laws and not smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, use drugs including marijuana, or gamble on the Community Garden grounds, and will not come to the Community Garden under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or illegal drugs.
    3. I will not bring weapons to the Community Garden.
    4. I will not bring pets or other animals to the Community Garden.
    5. I will be considerate of others when playing music.
  14. I understand that my plot is not private property. All items, plants (in ground or in containers), and infrastructure left at the GCG, whether during the garden season or over the winter, are left at my personal risk of theft or damage. After the garden closing date, all items must be removed or will be removed by the GCG leadership.
  15. I do not expect any form of reimbursement, compensation, or other tangible benefits returned to me for time, materials, or monetary investments I make as a GCG gardener.
  16. I will not attempt to hold GCG responsible for weather, construction, personal health, or any other factors that affect my ability to garden as planned.
  17. I agree to water responsibility to conserve fresh water & our sensitive irrigation system.
    1. Access to irrigation water is not guaranteed at any point. (Water is typically operational starting in May, ending in October.)
    2. Water from the hose behind the garden shed is potable. I will turn the water off and lock the access when done.
  18. I will lock the garden entrance with the combination lock provided when I leave.
  19. I understand that GCG garden management policies may change without notice, and I agree to comply with these changes as they are established. I will stay up to date on policies by reading GCG email newsletters in a timely fashion. These newsletters may also include event information, gardening tips, etc.
  20. I will notify GCG if I must abandon my plot before the end of the season. If GCG notices a plot is not being maintained or appears to be abandoned, GCG will contact the member. If the GCG is unable to reach the member or GCG is unable to assist the member to maintain the plot, GCG reserves the right to reclaim and/or clear the member’s plot. Should circumstances arise where a member cannot maintain their plot for a period of time or the remainder of the growing season, the member is encouraged to reach out to the GCG Leadership for assistance.
  21. I understand and agree to the 2024 GCG Membership Agreement. (This is a separate document that includes a media release, liability release, and more.)
