How we use the information we collect:

• If you send in an application to camp (mail, fax)  we will keep that application on file for at least seven years and enter the personal information on the application into our database. A camp application includes information such as name, age, gender, family address, email address, family phone number, and dates requesting to attend camp.

• Our database is used primarily by the Director, Operations and Development Manager, the camp Registrar, the Administrative Coordinator, Program Director, and other administrative staff.

• If you contact us by phone, email, or our Online Waiting list sign-up form, we will enter the information you provide in our database and use it to contact you about potential camp openings and place you on our mailing list. This includes such information as name, street address, home phone number, email address, and child's name, child's gender, and child's school grade.

• If you contact us through the Summer Parent Evaluation Form - any personal information you provide is optional and we will only contact you regarding your responses at your request.

• A parent, child, or another party may sign up to receive a weekly email devotion  The only item of personal information we collect through this list is an email address. The devotions list is a moderated majordomo list - meaning that a message can only be sent out to the list if it is approved by Camp Gray staff. Subscripting and Unsubscribing to the list is up to the discretion of the parent and/or child.

• We may share information we collect with third parties for purposes such as fundraising, correcting complaints, creating mailing lists for brochures, newsletters, etc., or other activities necessary in order to carry out the mission of Camp Gray. We will only disclose as much information as necessary to fulfill the needs of the activity. For example, when we use the mailing service of our printer, we send them only the family name, street address, city, state, and zip of the recipients and protect the other information we have collected. Any third party we share information with has agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the information.
