Privacy Policy​​​​​​​​​​​

Personal Information

Jewish Family Service of St. Paul is committed to respecting the privacy of our online visitors and donors. We keep contact information such as your e-mail address and postal address in a secure database used only by JFS’s staff and contractors. We will not forward, trade or sell any part of your information to other organizations.
We have implemented safeguards to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private.

Links to Other Sites

This site provides links to resources we find useful. These links will take you to sites operated by different organizations with different privacy practices. When leaving www.jfssp.org, we recommend that you review the privacy policy of the site you are visiting before sharing information. We have no control over information that is submitted to third parties.

Depending on how you use this website, we may ask you to provide some or all of the following personal information:
• Name
• Address
• Zip code
• Telephone number
• Email address
• Credit card number and expiration date (for online purchases or donations)

Some information you provide (when making an online donation, for example) is collected by a third party that JFS has engaged to provide certain services on its behalf. That party’s handling of your information will be governed by its own privacy and security policies. If JFS then receives that information from the third party, JFS will handle the information as required by JFS’s policies.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit the JFS site, some information is automatically collected about your visit that does not identify you personally. This information helps us analyze trends to better understand how users view and utilize our site.

Cookies – A “cookie” is a small data file that a website may send to your browser and that may then be stored on your hard drive. Our website uses cookies that allow your computer to “remember” information about your preferences and session, and allow you to move within areas of our websites without reintroducing yourself. No personally identifiable information is stored in these cookies. Both “session ID” and “persistent” cookies may be used in a site. A session ID cookie will expire at the time you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time and may be set to store your passwords so you do not have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies can be removed by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “Help” file.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; however, some JFS applications may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.

Log Information – Our servers automatically record information your browser sends whenever you visit a site. We do not record personal information during this process. The server records may include information such as your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser language, refer/exit pages, your operating system, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.

Our website may use other technologies to track and analyze user activity on our site. We use this information to track the number of visitors to our site and determine which pages are visited most often, how visitors navigate through our site, and the domains from which visitors access the site. We may also analyze the data internally to help us determine how to provide more useful information to visitors.
