INFORMATION CONCERNING CHILDREN AND MINORS

Hagiggah.org's charitable mission includes supporting programs and opportunities benefitting young people. Accordingly, we recognize the importance of protecting children's privacy.

A. Children Under 13

Our Web site is not intended to collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate involvement and authorization of a parent or legal guardian.

Children under 13 should not submit personal information directly to Hagiggah.org through the Web site unless specifically instructed to do so through a process designed to comply with applicable children's privacy requirements.

When Hagiggah.org knowingly collects personal information online directly from a child under 13 in circumstances subject to the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), Hagiggah.org will provide the required notice and obtain verifiable parental or legal guardian consent before collecting, using, or disclosing the child's personal information, except where an exception permitted by law applies.

Parents and legal guardians may contact Hagiggah.org to:

● Ask whether we possess personal information concerning their child;
● Review personal information collected from their child;
● Request correction or deletion of that information;
● Withdraw previously provided consent; and
● Request that no additional personal information be collected from their child.

Hagiggah.org will not condition a child's participation in an activity on disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary for that activity.

B. Scholarship and Program Applications Involving Minors

Where a scholarship, grant, program, or other application concerns a minor, Hagiggah.org may require that the application be submitted by, or with the authorization of, the minor's parent or legal guardian.

Information concerning minors will be used only for legitimate organizational, program, scholarship, administrative, safety, legal, or related purposes.

DONOR PRIVACY

Hagiggah.org respects the privacy of its donors.

We may maintain donor information for purposes including processing donations, issuing acknowledgments, maintaining financial and tax records, communicating with donors, conducting fundraising activities, and satisfying legal requirements.

Hagiggah.org does not sell, rent, or trade donor names, mailing addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, or other donor personal information to outside organizations for their independent marketing or fundraising purposes.

We may disclose donor information to service providers working on our behalf when reasonably necessary to perform services such as donation processing, accounting, database administration, mailing, e-mail distribution, website hosting, or similar functions.

We may also disclose information when required by law.

Donors may contact us to request that they not receive future fundraising communications.

GRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION INFORMATION

Information submitted in connection with a grant or scholarship application may be shared internally with Hagiggah.org directors, officers, employees, volunteers, committee members, professional advisers, or independent reviewers who reasonably require access to evaluate or administer the application.

Information may also be disclosed to service providers that host or administer our application systems.

Hagiggah.org will endeavor to limit access to application information to individuals and organizations with a legitimate need for that information.

Applicants should avoid submitting Social Security numbers, complete financial account numbers, medical information, or other highly sensitive personal information unless Hagiggah.org specifically requests the information and provides an appropriate secure method for submitting it.

WHEN WE MAY DISCLOSE INFORMATION

Hagiggah.org may disclose personal information:

● To vendors and service providers performing services on our behalf;
● To payment and donation processors;
● To website hosting, information technology, security, analytics, e-mail, database, and application-management providers;
● To accountants, auditors, attorneys, insurers, and other professional advisers;
● To persons involved in reviewing grants or scholarship applications;
● When authorized or requested by the individual;
● When required by subpoena, court order, law, regulation, or governmental process;
● When reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, security incidents, unlawful conduct, or violations of our policies;
● When reasonably necessary to protect the safety, rights, property, or interests of Hagiggah.org, Website users, program participants, or others; or
● In connection with a merger, reorganization, transfer of operations, or similar organizational transaction involving Hagiggah.org, subject to applicable law.

Service providers receiving personal information from Hagiggah.org are expected to use that information only as reasonably necessary to provide services to Hagiggah.org and consistent with applicable contractual and legal requirements.

NO SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Hagiggah.org does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

Hagiggah.org also does not intend to share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If our practices change, we will revise this Privacy Policy and provide any notices, choices, or opt-out mechanisms required by applicable law.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Hagiggah.org is organized as a California nonprofit organization. The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"), generally applies to qualifying for-profit businesses and ordinarily does not apply directly to nonprofit organizations.

Nevertheless, subject to legal, regulatory, operational, security, record-retention, and other legitimate organizational requirements, individuals may contact us to request:

● Information about personal information we maintain about them;
● Correction of inaccurate personal information;
● Deletion of personal information;
● A copy of certain personal information they provided to us;
● Removal from fundraising or marketing communications; or
● Information about our privacy practices.

We will make reasonable efforts to honor appropriate requests even where a particular statutory right does not legally apply to Hagiggah.org. We may need to verify a requester's identity before fulfilling a privacy request.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against an individual for making a privacy-related request.

CALIFORNIA "DO NOT TRACK" DISCLOSURE

Some Web browsers provide a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") setting that communicates a user's preference regarding online tracking.

Because there is not a universally accepted technical standard governing how Web sites must respond to traditional browser DNT signals, our Web site may not respond to DNT signals.

Hagiggah.org does not intend to use information collected through its Web site for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Where applicable technology and law require recognition of legally binding browser-based privacy preference signals, Hagiggah.org will endeavor to honor such signals as required by applicable law.

THIRD-PARTY TRACKING AND ANALYTICS

Hagiggah.org may use third-party service providers to provide Web site hosting, security, analytics, embedded content, payment processing, e-mail communications, forms, or other Web site functions. Those providers may collect information through cookies or similar technologies when users interact with the Web site.

Hagiggah.org will endeavor to configure third-party services consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services with which they interact.

E-MAIL COMMUNICATIONS

Individuals who voluntarily provide an e-mail address may receive communications from Hagiggah.org concerning programs, events, fundraising, organizational activities, grants, scholarships, or other matters.

Marketing or fundraising e-mail communications will provide an appropriate method for recipients to unsubscribe from future communications of that type.

Unsubscribing from promotional or fundraising communications will not necessarily prevent Hagiggah.org from sending transactional, administrative, legal, donation-related, application-related, or other non-promotional communications where appropriate.

DATA SECURITY

Hagiggah.org uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, acquisition, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. Such safeguards may include, as appropriate:

● Secure Web site connections using encryption;
● Access controls;
● Password protection;
● Multi-factor authentication where appropriate;
● Restricted access to sensitive information;
● Secure third-party payment processing;
● Software and security updates;
● Data backup procedures; and
● Appropriate security practices by service providers.

No Internet transmission, electronic storage system, or information-security system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, Hagiggah.org cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through or stored by the Web site.

If Hagiggah.org becomes aware of a security breach involving personal information, we will investigate and provide notifications as required by applicable Federal and California law.

DATA RETENTION AND DELETION

Hagiggah.org retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as necessary to:

● Administer our programs;
● Maintain donor and financial records;
● Meet tax and accounting requirements;
● Maintain grant and scholarship records;
● Comply with legal and regulatory obligations;
● Resolve disputes;
● Protect legal rights;
● Prevent fraud and security incidents; and
● Comply with Hagiggah.org's document retention requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary and no legal or organizational requirement justifies its retention, Hagiggah.org will endeavor to securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it.

Information concerning children subject to COPPA will not be retained longer than reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, consistent with applicable law.

THIRD-PARTY WEB SITES AND SERVICES

The Web site may contain links to other Web sites, social-media platforms, donation platforms, or other online services operated by third parties.

Hagiggah.org does not control the privacy or security practices of third-party Web sites and services. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by or on behalf of Hagiggah.org.

Visitors should review the privacy policies of third-party Web sites and services before providing personal information to them.
