United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, Inc. ("UJA-Federation", "we", "us" or "our") shares your concern about protecting the personal information of visitors to our web sites and our donors. This privacy policy ("Policy") is our policy that addresses maintaining the privacy of personal information we collect.
The Policy describes our privacy practices both offline and in connection with your use of our https://www.ujafedny.org website and https://ujafedny.giftplans.org website (collectively, the "Sites"). By using the Sites, you agree to abide by the terms of this Policy and the terms of use (the "Terms").
We may need to change the Policy from time to time in order to address new issues and to reflect changes on the Sites or in the law. We reserve the right to revise or make any changes to the Policy, and your continual use of the Sites subsequent to any changes to this Policy will mean that you accept such changes. Therefore, please bookmark this page and review it periodically to assure familiarity with the most current version of the Policy. We will post all changes to the Policy here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and when and how we will disclose that information. You can tell that the Policy has been updated by checking the last revised date posted on the top of this page. If due to such changes, you decide that you want to delete any portion of your personal information from our database, please notify UJA-Federation at .
YOU CONSENT TO OUR USING ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE TO US OR THAT WE COLLECT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS POLICY.
Information We Collect and Track. UJA-Federation collects and retains two types of information: (i) personal information that individuals, including donors, provide when interacting on the Sites, or voluntarily provide on certain other occasions (such as via the phone, in person meetings, emails or in response to mailings); and (ii) tracking data, which is automatically collected from every Site visitor, (collectively, "Information"). The Information that we gather may include your name, title and address (collectively, "Postal Information"), telephone number, email address, credit card number or other elements of personal information.
In addition, if you contact us, we may keep a record of your correspondence, including any Information contained therein, other than payment/credit card information. We do not store sensitive financial data (i.e. payment/credit card numbers), as we use payment gateways such as Stripe, Braintree, and Authorize.net for payment processing.
You may decline to provide any personal information, but please realize that you thereby may be unable to register on UJA-Federation's website or to participate in activities or services offered by UJA-Federation.
The tracking data we record includes, without limitation, information regarding the number and frequency of visits to the Sites, the websites that you access before and after you visit the Sites, the Internet software used to access the Sites, and your IP address and Internet service provider.
How We Use Your Information. The Information that we collect and that you provide to us is used for our business purposes and the purpose for which you provided it, including, without limitation, to respond to your requests or correspondence. UJA-Federation may also use the Information to contact you about the Sites or to request your input regarding ways in which we might improve the Sites. We may also use your Information to inform you about UJA-Federation's activities, products, services, events and fundraising efforts in which UJA-Federation hopes you may be interested. The Information may also be analyzed so that we can provide you with useful information and can serve you in the best manner possible through enhanced features and functions on the Sites.
We will not disclose any personal information to third parties, except (i) to parties who perform a service for us, such as sending you communications via the postal service or internet, web hosting, credit card processing and other similar services; (ii) when we believe that such disclosure is required by law; (iii) to enforce this Policy or the Terms; (iv) to protect the rights, property, security or safety of UJA-Federation, UJA-Federation donors, Site users or the public; (v) to respond to an emergency; or (vi) as otherwise stated in this Policy. In addition, we may disclose Information to certain third parties if you have requested or authorized the disclosure of such Information.
Information provided to third parties is limited to the Information needed to perform their functions. We seek to limit third-party use of Information; however, we are not responsible for such third-party use of Information that is not in compliance with this Policy.
UJA-Federation may make your Postal Information available to other, pre-screened, reputable not-for-profit organizations. This information is never sold, and if any person, including donors, would like to opt out of having UJA-Federation share your Postal Information with other not-for-profit organizations, please either email with "Opt Out" in the subject line, call the Donor Center at (212) 836-1486, or write us at UJA-Federation of New York, 130 East 59th Street, New York, NY 10022.
