Information you actively share

While using our website, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. When you enter information on our website – such as your name, email address and credit card payment information – the information collected will only be used to better serve or engage you in our efforts as a school and community organization. Information you share will not be disclosed to any external organizations or parties, unless doing so is required in our service to you or when required by law. Your collected information is secured and only accessible by designated Bnei Akiva Schools employees who are granted password-protected access, for the sole purpose of providing you with support or educational services. Credit card processing is completed entirely through a secure third-party payment processor, and your credit card information is not accessible or viewable by our staff. Currently, we utilize Authorize.net for credit card transactions on our website.

Information you passively share

Our website, like virtually all websites, collects information that your browser sends whenever you visit our website, in the form of access logs and “cookies”. This information could include data about your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics. This information is stored in logs on a web server, and in cookies (files with small amounts of the data noted above) on your own computer. This information is in no way attached to personally identifying information such as a visitor’s name, email address or phone number. You can disable or limit the use of cookies through your browser, but this may affect your use or experience of our website. In addition, to help us improve the experience of using our website, we may use third party services such as Google Analytics to better analyze this data. This information will only be used to better inform our internal needs and support us in better serving you as our students, parents, staff, and community members.

Security

We strive to provide a secure website platform and experience for our users. Our website is secured with standard security protocol (SSL) which establishes an encrypted link for communication between a web server and a browser. This certificate is trusted as the industry standard, but vigilance on your part whenever browsing the Internet is essential. We strive to ensure that any external services that are used on our website also use SSL certification.
