Jewish
Family& Life! Online Privacy Policy
Jewish Family & Life! recognizes that personal privacy is very important.
We have adopted the following Privacy Policy to ensure our commitment
to our privacy and to prevent the misuse of personal information we
obtain through our web sites.
Please read the Privacy Policy carefully, because by visiting or using
this website you agree to the conditions contained in it. Jewish
Family & Life! Inc, reserves the right to modify or amend this Internet
Privacy Policy and our practices of website information collection at
any time, and for any reason. This Internet Privacy Policy applies only
to those of JFL's data collection practices that are undertaken via
our website. No representation in the Internet Privacy Policy may be
construed, understood, or implied to form any agreement, contract, or
contractual obligation with any user who visits, downloads, reads, or
interacts with the website, or who sends an email or other personally
identifying information to Jewish Family & Life through its websites
or through any other medium.
Collection
of Your Personal Information
In general, when you visit our Web sites and access information
you remain anonymous. Some of the information we collect about you is
used by us to deliver JFL-originated email and electronic bulletins/newsletters
(e-letters) prepared by our staff editors. Personal information that
has been volunteered to us may also be combined with data from third
parties, such as Congressional district maps, to improve our services
to members. No such combining will be done for marketing purposes.
Some of our Web sites require registration to access certain technical
services or features or offer personalized services that require specific
information, such as your real name and a valid email address to enable
you to more effectively utilize the services or features available on
that Web site. Contact information from the order form is used to send
orders and information about our organization to our customers or to
bill for products and services. The customer's contact information is
also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary. Users may
opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out
section below. Financial information that is collected is used to bill
the user for products and services.
We will not provide any of your personal information to other companies
or individuals without your permission. We give you the opportunity
to elect not to receive materials from us. If you sign up for a JFL
electronic newsletter or e-mail list, or receive electronic communications
from us using these vehicles, each message will include instructions
on how to "unsubscribe" (or Opt Out) from that list.
What
statistical information do we collect?
We collect aggregate information site-wide, including anonymous
site stats. JFL Web sites also log IP addresses for systems administration
purposes. IP addresses are logged to track a user's session. This gives
JFL an understanding of which parts of our site users are visiting,
and helps us focus our editorial efforts on those areas, which are of
greatest interest to our audiences. We do not link IP addresses to anything
personally identifiable. This means that a users session may be tracked,
but the user will be anonymous. Information regarding visitors to our
Web sites is aggregated for the purposes of reporting to advertisers
and our non-profit organizations' sponsors. Information about specific
visitors is not made available to any of these organizations or individuals.
Protecting
your privacy
We will take appropriate steps to protect your privacy. If you
voluntarily provide personal information, this information will be accessible
by authorized employees of Jewish Family & Life and used for evaluating
your needs and for our own marketing and/or research and product/service
development purposes. We will not sell, lend, or disclose in any way
personally identifiable information to organizations not affiliated
with JFL unless we have notified you in advance and you have not objected,
you have authorized us to do so, or we are required to do so by law.
We will endeavor to maintain this information in accordance with our
internal policies governing use and disclosure of confidential information.
As a rule, we will not provide
any of your personal information to other companies or individuals outside
of JFL without your permission.
In the limited circumstances under which we would provide personally
identifiable client information to a third party for the purposes of
delivering specific services to you (e.g. customer support, mailing
web maintenance), we expect that the third party will adhere to similar
privacy policies that provide for keeping such information confidential.
We also provide many links to third party Web sites. Since we do not
control those Websites, we encourage you to review the Privacy Policies
posted on these third party sites.
Children's
privacy
When JFL collects personally identifying data from minors, we
use it for internal purposes only, we don't post it, publish it or provide
it to any third parties. We will not sell, rent, or distribute any of
the registration information that has been provided to us, without your
explicit permission.
None of the Web sites covered by this policy knowingly collect personally
identifiable information from children under age 13. If we discover
that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with any personally
identifiable information, we will delete that information from our systems.
JFL encourages parents to go
online with their children. Parents should understand the sites their
kids are visiting and which sites, or types of sites, are inappropriate.
There are many parental control tools available, such as browsers and
filtering software that prevent children from accessing inappropriate
sites. Children should never give out personal information on the Internet,
such as name, address, phone number, or name of school, unless supervised
by a parent or responsible adult. Please, always look for a privacy
policy on a Web site and find out how information collected from children
is treated! Parents should teach their children to look for sites that
display a privacy policy.

allows a site to be customized to the preferences of the user by placing

your program has this capability, you should contact the software manufacturer
or your Internet service provider.
