Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 10, 2026

At Adat Tikvah, we respect your privacy and the trust you place in our community. We are not in the business of collecting, selling, or marketing personal information.

Information We Collect

Adat Tikvah collects only limited information that you choose to provide, such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and information you voluntarily include in a message or request. We do not intentionally collect personal information beyond what is reasonably necessary to communicate with you, provide services you request, and administer our community.

How We Use Your Information

We use information you provide only for legitimate Adat Tikvah purposes, such as responding to you, communicating about gatherings and programs, providing pastoral or life-cycle assistance you request, acknowledging donations, and maintaining appropriate community and administrative records.

Adat Tikvah does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information for advertising or marketing purposes.

Outside Services

Adat Tikvah uses third-party technology and communication services, including Google, Squarespace, Facebook, and Instagram. When you use our website, communicate with us through these services, follow a link to one of our social-media pages, or otherwise interact with these platforms, those companies may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies and practices. Adat Tikvah does not control the information those independent services collect.

Adat Tikvah does not provide personal information to others for their advertising or marketing purposes.

Email and Community Communications

If you choose to receive Adat Tikvah news and invitations, we may use your contact information to keep you informed about gatherings, programs, holidays, learning opportunities, and other community activities. You may ask to stop receiving these communications at any time.

Donations

When online donations become available, they may be processed through a trusted third-party payment provider. Adat Tikvah does not intend to collect or store complete credit-card or bank-account information on its website. The payment provider will have its own privacy and security practices.

Children’s Privacy

Our general website is intended for a broad community audience. Adat Tikvah does not intentionally seek to collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the general website. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through the website without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

Website Technology

Our website platform may process limited technical information or use basic cookies necessary to operate, secure, and maintain the website. Adat Tikvah does not intentionally use website technology to create advertising profiles about members of our community.

Protecting and Retaining Information

We take reasonable steps to safeguard personal information entrusted to us and limit access to people who reasonably need it for legitimate Adat Tikvah activities. No website, email service, or electronic communication system can guarantee absolute security. We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was provided, for legitimate community or administrative needs, or as required by law.

Your Choices

You may contact Adat Tikvah to update or correct information you provided, stop receiving community emails or announcements, ask what personal information we maintain about you, or request deletion when appropriate.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy if our website, programs, technology, or legal requirements change. The current version will be posted on the Adat Tikvah website.
