General
These Terms, which include the Privacy Policy, are the complete agreement between you and B’nai Adath regarding your use of our Site, supersede all other agreements (oral or written) between you and B’nai Adath, and are governed by and should be construed according to the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and completely performed in New York, unless doing so would lead to the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. You irrevocably agree to: (i) bring any claim or dispute relating to your use of our Site and these Terms exclusively in the state and federal courts located in the State and County of Kings; (ii) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts; and (iii) waive any objection to those courts based on inconvenience or other reasons. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without B’nai Adath’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment will be null and void. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms is unenforceable for any reason, then that provision will be deleted (or, if possible, modified in a manner that reflects the original intent as closely as possible) and the remaining provisions will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law (unless doing so would deprive either party of a material benefit of these Terms). The failure of a party to assert any right under these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that party’s right. The word “including” in these Terms is intended to be illustrative and means “including without being limited to.”
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes the way B’nai Adath collects and uses information both online and offline, and explains the types of information we collect and how we use it. Please read the following information to understand our practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
Who we are: For the purpose of applicable data protection legislation, the data controller of your personal data is the B’nai Adath Kol Beth Yisrael, 1006 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, New York.
Information You Provide
B’nai Adath, and its payment processing vendor, may collect personal information from you when you engage in online or in person transactions including making a donation or paying membership tithes or dues, registering for or attending an event, volunteering for an activity or communicating with us through the website. We may gather personal information that you give us, including your name, address, phone number, email address and payment information.
B’nai Adath’s website automatically collects some anonymous “non-personally identifiable” aggregate information, which may include visitors’ browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer or Firefox), operating systems (e.g., Windows or Macintosh), Internet Service Providers, and other similar information. The information collected is used for statistical purposes to monitor how B’nai Adath’s online visitors navigate our website, allowing us to tailor our website to better accommodate our visitors.
We use security measures to protect the loss, misuse, and unauthorized alteration of the information under our control. Please be advised, however, that we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent disruptions or unauthorized access from occurring.
How We Combine Personal Information
We may combine information gathered from the website and information that we have received, gathered, acquired, or stored from other sources, both information collected offline by B’nai Adath and information received from third parties into a single customer record. We also use and/or combine information that we collect offline or receive from third-party sources (e.g., contact information from government funders or grantor information) to edit, enhance, and/or check the accuracy of your record.
How Personal Information is Used
If you provide us with personal information, we will use this information to respond to your inquiry or request, or to process your donation or otherwise to fulfill your order for an event. We may also use it to contact you to provide information about B’nai Adath activities, membership and fundraising opportunities and special events that may interest you. For example, once you complete your donation or other online order, you will receive a confirmation e-mail from B’nai Adath. You may opt-out of having your information used by B’nai Adath for these purposes, or you may update your contact information anytime, by contacting us via the following email or postal mail addresses: [email protected]. Your credit card information will be temporarily stored on a secured server only for as long as necessary to process your payment.
With Whom Personal Information is Shared
B’nai Adath also engages third-party vendors in order to help us, among other things, manage the website, process online and offline transactions. We and our third-party vendors or partners use analytics data for a variety of purposes such as to improve the design and content of our website, to help us learn things like what pages are most attractive to all of our visitors.
B’nai Adath may also use or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on B’nai Adath; (b) protect and defend B’nai Adath’s rights or property, the website, or B’nai Adath’s users; and (c) act under emergency circumstances to protect the personal safety of B’nai Adath’s affiliates, agents, or the users of the website or the public.
Cookies:
B’nai Adath’s website may use cookies (small files that store information on your computer’s web browser) to enhance user experience on the website. Cookies are used to perform certain functions such as saving passwords, personal interests and preferences; delivering content specific to these interests and preferences; and analyzing website activity and user behavior on the website. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and delete any cookies you receive.
Security
B’nai Adath engages a third party vendor to process credit card information using secure socket layering (SSL) encryption technology, which protects against interception of your information by third parties. SSL is the standard for most browsers and servers and encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name and address so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Unfortunately, no transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us at [email protected].
Children Under Age Thirteen
B’nai Adath does not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under age thirteen. If you are a parent or legal guardian who becomes aware that your child under age thirteen has provided Personal Data to our Site, please contact us at [email protected].

If you are using our services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data privacy and protection laws of the United States might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. By using our services, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.
