At Yarn and Yield, we see privacy as part of stewardship. The information you share with us is entrusted, not owned, and we care for it accordingly.
What we collect
We only collect personal information that is necessary to support connection and participation in our work. This may include your name, contact details, and any information you choose to share with us through memberships, events, communications, or collaborations.
Personal Information
Personal information is any information about you that identifies you or can reasonably be identified with you. It includes obvious information like your name and address, but can also include potentially sensitive and private information, such as your date of birth, the products and services you buy, or email and mobile phone contacts you would want to share with strangers.
Because so many purchases take place over the internet, you should know that web browsers and websites including ours collect less obvious information that might identify your personal information, such as the location from which you have come to the website, the pages you have visited, and technical data, which may include your IP address, the type of device you are using to access the website, your browser, language and operating system.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Stay in touch and share updates, opportunities, and events
- Support your involvement in the co-operative
- Improve how we serve our community
We use your information with intention, and only for purposes aligned with our mission.
What we do not do
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes—ever.
We will only share information if required by law, or where you have given clear consent. We may disclose your personal information if we form a reasonable belief the disclosure will prevent a serious threat to somebody’s life or health.
Care and protection
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. While no system is completely secure, we are committed to ongoing care and improvement in how we safeguard data.
Your choice and control
You can:
- Ask to access the personal information we hold about you
- Request corrections if something is inaccurate
- Unsubscribe from communications at any time
Cookies and digital tools
Our website may use basic cookies or analytics tools to understand how people engage with our content and to improve your experience. These tools do not identify you personally.
A living policy
As our work evolves, so too may this policy. Any updates will remain grounded in our commitment to respect, transparency, and care.
