Privacy Policy | The Hebrew Times

At The Hebrew Times ("we," "us," or "our"), we are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring the protection of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use, disclose, and safeguard that information, and your rights concerning your personal data. By accessing or using our website, mobile applications, or any other digital services provided by The Hebrew Times (collectively referred to as the “Services”), you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect both personally identifiable information (“PII”) and non-personally identifiable information (“Non-PII”) through your use of our Services. PII refers to any information that can identify you as an individual, such as your name, email address, postal address, phone number, or payment information. You provide this information to us voluntarily, for example, when you register for an account, subscribe to our newsletters, submit content, or contact us for customer support.

In addition to PII, we collect Non-PII, which refers to data that cannot directly identify you. This includes information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and details regarding your interactions with our Services, such as pages viewed, links clicked, and time spent on our website. We gather this information automatically through cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience and optimize the functionality of our Services.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to provide, maintain, and enhance the Services we offer. We use your PII to respond to inquiries, process transactions, send updates and newsletters, manage your account, and deliver personalized content. We also use Non-PII to analyze user behavior, track performance, diagnose technical issues, and improve the design and functionality of our website.

Your information may be used to monitor compliance with our terms of service and to ensure the security and integrity of our Services. We may also use your data to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to law enforcement requests, subpoenas, or legal processes, and to protect our legal rights and interests in the event of a dispute or legal proceeding.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

At The Hebrew Times, we value your privacy and do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, in certain situations, we may share your data with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Services. These may include payment processors, data analytics providers, hosting companies, and other vendors who perform essential business functions on our behalf. These service providers are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality of your information and to use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

We may also disclose your personal information if required by law or in response to a valid court order, subpoena, or government request. In such cases, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your privacy is protected to the extent possible. Additionally, if The Hebrew Times undergoes a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred to the new owners as part of the transaction. In such an event, we will notify you of the transfer and any new policies that may apply to your personal data.

4. Data Security

We take the security of your information seriously and employ a variety of physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security protocols include encryption, firewalls, secure socket layer (SSL) technology, and access controls. While we strive to safeguard your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection of your information. In the event of a data breach, we will notify you in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding the collection and use of your personal information. In the United States, data privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may provide specific rights, including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and the right to opt-out of the sale of your information (although we do not sell personal data).

You may request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccuracies, or request the deletion of your information by contacting us at the address provided in this policy. We will comply with your request to the extent required by law and will inform you if we are unable to fulfill your request for legal or operational reasons. You may also opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails or by contacting us directly.

6. Children's Privacy

The Hebrew Times does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from individuals under the age of 13. Our Services are not directed toward children, and we ask that anyone under 13 refrain from using our platform. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will promptly delete that information in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe we may have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Services use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and analyze how our Services are used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow us to recognize your browser and track user behavior. We use cookies for various purposes, including remembering your preferences, improving website functionality, and delivering targeted advertisements. You can control your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, disabling cookies may limit certain features and functionalities of our Services.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, services, or advertisements that are not owned or controlled by The Hebrew Times. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites and encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit. When you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to a site or service that operates independently of us and may have its own privacy and data collection practices.

9. International Data Transfers

The Hebrew Times is based in the United States, and our Services are governed by U.S. laws. If you access our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to and processed on servers located in the U.S. By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is handled in compliance with applicable data protection laws, regardless of where it is processed.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, legal obligations, or regulatory requirements. Any changes to this policy will be posted on our website with the updated effective date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
