Personal Information
The Foundation only collects personal information from individuals who affirmatively request to receive e-mail or other information from us. This personal information is kept strictly confidential to the internal staff and agents of the Foundation. The Foundation does not sell, rent or transmit personal information to other organizations or outside entities.
Website Data Collection and Use
Our web server tracks and collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the time and date of each website visit. We also collect aggregate numbers of page hits in order to track the popularity of certain pages. The Foundation may analyze such information in order to improve the value of our site. We do not gather, request, record, require, collect or track any Internet users’ personal information through these processes.
E-mail List Privacy
The Foundation maintains a database of e-mail addresses provided to us by individuals who affirmatively request to be kept informed about the Foundation and its activities. We configure our list server software to protect against the email addresses of our list subscribers being divulged to anyone other than authorized employees or agents of the Foundation. However, the software has not been created by the Foundation and the Foundation is not responsible for any failures in the software to preserve subscriber anonymity.
Subscribers to our e-mail list may terminate their subscriptions via a link at the bottom of each email sent from info@us-jf.org.
Policy Changes
This Privacy Policy will be revised or updated if our practices change, or as we develop better ways to keep you informed about them. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post a new Privacy Policy on our site and change the date at the bottom. Changes to the Privacy Policy will not apply retroactively. This Privacy Policy was last revised on February 19, 2014.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at (212) 481-8753 or via e-mail at info@us-jf.org.
