If you register for programs, sign up for Hollyhock catalogues, subscribe to newsletters, purchase products, or otherwise deal directly with Hollyhock, your contact information and a transaction history will be retained by Hollyhock.

Program-related

Hollyhock provides each program presenter with the names and residential addresses of the participants attending that presenter’s program(s). Some presenters gather additional information during the course of the program. We ask them to specify the intended use of the information requested and remind participants that they are free to not provide any information.
After attending a Hollyhock program, many participants want to share their contact information with others in the program. Hollyhock may facilitate this process by providing a printed roster with names, mailing addresses, and a space for participants to add their e-mail address. You may choose to cross your name off the list and not provide your information to other participants.
