Bet Shira Congregation Privacy Policy

This policy covers how we treat your personal information collected on our website, or that we otherwise receive, including information related to your past use of our site or services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable, such as your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that may not be otherwise publicly available.

The Information We Collect
We do not require visitors to supply personally identifiable information when accessing public areas of the site. When you browse the website, you do so anonymously to us, unless you have submitted an online registration form and selected a password. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which part of our website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to any personal information unless you have logged into our website through registration and a password.

We may collect personally identifiable information when you register, access certain restricted site areas, place an order, request other information, make a payment, or otherwise communicate with us. Additionally, we may collect personal information when you register to attend a program, ask to be included in an email or other mailing list, or submit your personal information to us for any other reason.

How we use the Information
We collect this information for a variety of reasons, including our effort to inform you of such things as Bet Shira Congregation or community programs, special offers, and to ensure that you have access to information which is likely to be of interest to you. However, we do not sell or rent personal information to other organizations.

Security
We take measures to protect the security of your personal information and to ensure that your choices for its intended use are honored. Unfortunately, we cannot, and do not, guarantee that data transmission over the Internet is secure, or that a malicious third party will not be successful at accessing your personal information from our servers. As a result, you provide us with your personal information at your own risk.

We nevertheless strive to utilize a secure environment for credit card transactions. Once a transaction has cleared, your credit card information is not stored by us, minimizing the risk.

We do not guarantee that your communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not described in this Privacy Policy, or in ways that you would not have chosen to disclose it. This includes, but is not limited to, required disclosures to the government, in response to court orders, o by unlawful interception. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to liability. Therefore, although we will endeavor to protect your privacy as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will remain private.

Your account with us is password protected so that only you can access it and view the information relevant to the account. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information.

If, by using a link from our site, you access the website or services of a third party, then the protection of your information relating to their services will be governed by the privacy policy of the third party, if any.

Your Choices
You may request at any time that the personal information you provide on a registration page not be used for direct email marketing purposes by Bet Shira Congregation.

To make this request you may contact info@betshira.org and ask that we remove your email address from our email distributions.

Additionally, at the bottom of each marketing email Bet Shira Congregation sends, we provide a link to opt-out of the email list. By clicking on this link you will be guided through the automated process that will remove your email address from future mailings.

If you need further help or have additional questions, please email us at info@betshira.org. Please provide your full name, email address, and phone number so that we may address your concerns appropriately.

Bet Shira Congregation’s web sites may contain links to other non-Bet Shira Congregation web sites. It is also possible that non-Bet Shira Congregation web sites may link to Bet Shira Congregation web sites. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices (or lack thereof) employed by those non-Bet Shira Congregation web sites.

Cookies
As is the case with many sites, when you visit our site or complete a registration form, we will place a “cookie” on your computer, which helps us identify you more quickly when you return. Our use of this technology does not mean that we automatically know anything about you. They are used to identify you as a unique visitor to the site. We will not use cookies or other devices to follow your click stream on the Internet generally, but will use them to determine which pages or information you find most useful or interesting at our own Web sites.

Most browsers permit you to refuse to accept a cookie offered by a Web site. With the exception of password protected areas of the site, you will not be denied access to any other part of www.betshira.org because of your refusal to accept a cookie. However, your transactions through this Web site may be delayed due to the time it takes you to re-enter basic information necessary to complete a transaction.

Online Payments
All online payments are in US Dollars. Bet Shira Congregation does not provide refunds of donations.

Changes to the Privacy Policy
Due to the rapidly evolving nature of technologies Bet Shira Congregation uses to communicate with you, Bet Shira Congregation may occasionally update this privacy statement.
