Home / Privacy Policy

Effective: March 14, 2024.

This policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to the website of the Jewish Community Project of Lower Manhattan (“JCP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located at https://jcpdowntown.org (the “Site”). The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to explain to you how and when we collect, use, and disclose your information when you visit the Site. We ask for all of our visitors to read it in its entirety as it contains important descriptions regarding how we use and handle your personal information. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through our Site and not to information that we collect offline.

WHAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVERS

This Privacy Policy covers personal information you provide to us when you visit the Site and personal information and other data collected automatically about you when you visit the Site.

The term “personal information” as used in this Privacy Policy refers to information concerning an individual, which, because of name, number, personal mark, or other identifying information, can be used to identify such individual. It may also include your email address, birth date, postal address, financial information, phone number, and other identifying information as well as your location, IP address, device ID, and certain cookie and network identifiers, which are discussed further below.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that you provide to third parties through their applications or websites, including, but not limited to, your social media accounts and other websites you can access from links posted on the Site. These third parties likely have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before you provide information to them. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of these third parties.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

We (and the third-party service providers and other parties we use to perform services on our behalf, including, for example, payment processors, donation processors, email servicing providers, administration software providers, event management providers, web analytics partners, and search engine optimization and marketing partners) may collect, use, store, and transfer different categories of personal information about you depending on the nature of your interactions with us. We have grouped that information together as follows:

  • Contact Information, including your name, email address, home address, and telephone number. We may also collect contact information for your family members.
  • Identification Information, including date of birth, gender, and occupation. We may also collect identification information for your family members.
  • Family Health and Safety Information, including your child’s medical history and allergy information if your child is attending one of our educational or other programs.
  • Other Information You Submit or Provide, including information you provide to us when you pledge a donation to JCP, apply for membership with JCP, apply for our education programming, inquire about renting JCP as a venue, or send us an inquiry through our contact page.
  • Payment Information. We accept donations, applications for membership with JCP, applications for our educational programming, and payments for tickets to other types of programming through the Site. In such cases, we and our third-party service providers use third-party services for payment card processing (e.g., payment processors). We will take steps to avoid storing or collecting your payment card details. That information is provided directly to third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information (including payment card information) is governed by their own privacy policies.

INFORMATION COLLECTED USING TECHNOLOGY

We want you to be aware that when you use the Site, information is automatically collected about you and your online activities, including through the use of Google Analytics on our Site. (See “Once Information Is Received, How Is It Used and Shared—Data Analytics.”). Cookies, web beacons, log files, and tags placed on your computer when your web browser accesses the Site enable us to recognize you, record how you and other visitors use the Site, and track statistics about usage of the Site. The data collected using cookies and similar technologies include:

  • Identification – date and time of each visit to the Site, and history of visits;
  • Device – your IP address, internet domain name, browser type, operating system, and mobile network;
  • Usage – referring site of application, text, and video content viewed on the Site and time spent viewing each file, website, or search terms that referred you to the Site, number and duration of visits and history of the Site pages viewed, and other internet activities; and
  • Location – your general geographic location can be determined by your IP address, and a more specific location is available if you access our Site using a mobile device unless you have set your mobile device to block location tracking. For information about how we use information collected using these technologies, see “Once Information Is Received, How Is It Used and Shared.”

Restricting the Use of Information Collected Using Technology

You can influence how these technologies are used to track and log your online activities in several ways:

  • Managing the preference settings on your browser and device;
  • Communicating directly with Google as explained at: https://policies.google.com/privacy;
  • Visiting www.aboutads.info/choices to learn more about personalized advertising and how to opt-out of personalized advertising on your web browser and mobile apps by companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance. You can also opt-out via the Network Advertising Initiative by visiting www.networkadvertising.org/; and
  • If you restrict the use of cookies and other technologies, any pop-up form functionality on the Site may not be accessible to you. If you chose to restrict personalized advertising, you will still receive ads, but they will not be personalized.
