Collection and Use of Information

We collect data by which you may be personally identified, such as names, postal addresses, or email addresses, when you voluntarily submit this information to us. This information is only used to fulfill your specific request (for example, registering for an event or subscribing to our mailing list), unless you give us permission to use it in another manner.

By voluntarily providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to its use as described in this Privacy Policy.

We may also automatically collect information about you as you navigate and interact with our Website, including but not limited to your browser type, operating system, and cookie and other tracking data (as described below).

Cookie and tracking technology are useful for gathering information such as browser type and operating system, tracking the number of visitors to the Website, and understanding how visitors use the Website. Cookies can also help customize the Website for visitors. Personal Information is not directly collected via cookies or other tracking technology; however, if you have previously provided Personal Information, cookies may be linked to that information. We may share aggregate cookie and tracking information with third parties.

Distribution of Information

We may share your information with third parties we use to support our organization, only for the purposes of fulfilling your specific request as described in this Privacy Policy; for our marketing purposes (to offer our services to you); if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Temple Emanu-El; or for any other purpose with your consent.

We may share information with governmental agencies or other third parties assisting us in complying with any legal obligations and/or law enforcement requests, including in connection with fraud prevention or investigations. We may do so when: (1) permitted or required by law; (2) trying to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud or unauthorized transactions; or (3) investigating fraud which has already taken place. The information is not provided to these organizations for any other purpose.

Your data may also be used for other purposes for which you give your permission, where we are permitted to do so by law, or where it is in the public interest to disclose the information.

We may, unless you opt out of marketing, use your Personal Information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you, where permitted by applicable law. If we do so, each marketing communication we send will include instructions on how to “opt-out” of receiving future marketing communications. In addition, if at any time you wish to stop receiving marketing communications or have your name removed from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below.
