Privacy Philosophy
Hadassah believes that electronic privacy is crucial to the ongoing
success of the Internet as a service, and as a commercial, and
entertainment medium, and therefore uses its reasonable efforts to
protect the confidentiality of your personal information. The personal
information we receive from our Website is used solely for our own
business purposes and as may otherwise be directed by you (e.g., to
process a donation or to transmit e-mail correspondence to individuals
outside Hadassah). Hadassah does not sell, trade or rent your personal
information to others. Hadassah does not disclose information about
your individual visits to our Website, or personal information that you
provide to us, such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone
number, credit card number, etc., to any outside parties except as
directed by you or when we believe, in good faith, (i) that the law
requires it, (ii) that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights
and property of Hadassah, our members or others, (iii) that your
actions on our Website violate the Terms and Conditions stated herein,
(iv) that we need to send the information to companies or individuals
who work on behalf of Hadassah to provide a product or service to you
or to Hadassah or (v) as may be necessary for Hadassah business

Is Credit Card Information Secure?
We care about the safety and security of your transaction. We use high
grade encryption and the https security protocol to communicate with
your browser software. This Web site secures your private information
using a VeriSign SSL Certificate. Information exchanged with any
address beginning with https is encrypted using SSL before
transmission. This method is a commonly used security protocol, which
makes it difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card
information you send to us. Hadassah has implemented reasonable
technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal
information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use,
alteration or disclosure. However, Hadassah cannot guarantee that
unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures
or use your personal information for improper purposes.

How Do We Use "Cookies"?
Visitors should be aware that non-personal information and data may be
automatically collected by this Website through the use of "cookies".
"Cookies" are small text files that are stored on the visitors computer
which a website can use to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate the
visitor's ongoing access to and use of the website, and allow a website
to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow
content improvements. Cookies are not programs designed to damage files
on a user's computer. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique
number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning site.
If a visitor does not want information collected through the use of
cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the
visitor to deny or accept the cookie feature. Hadassah uses "cookie"
technology only to obtain non-personal information from its online
visitors in order to improve visitors' online experience and facilitate
their visit within our Website.
