Privacy Policy

At Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston (CJP), your privacy is very important to us, and we want to provide you with the following information so that you can better understand our practices when it comes to this increasingly crucial issue. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we collect, share and protect information about you.

This Privacy Policy applies to CJP and governs consumer data collection and usage. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise noted, all references to CJP, “we,” “us” and “our” include Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston, Inc. and our website, www.cjp.org.  CJP’s website is used to provide information about activities and fundraising opportunities in the Jewish community.  By accessing and using our website, you agree that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy and you consent to the privacy practices (and any uses and disclosures of information about you) that are described in this Privacy Policy.

PRIVACY OF DATA

CJP does not sell or trade our mailing, e-mail or donor lists with external organizations.  We will, on occasion, fulfill mailing and e-mail requests on behalf of our beneficiary agencies or other Jewish organizations in the Greater Boston area.  We agree to such communications to promote events or programs that we believe are beneficial to the Jewish community as a whole.

All requests are reviewed individually by CJP. In no case is any personal information exchanged directly with staff members of other organizations.  CJP will either contact you directly or via a contractor that has agreed not to disclose your information to others.  Personal information such as address, e‑mail address, demographics, giving levels and histories are never divulged to our beneficiary agencies or other Jewish organizations during this process.

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Through your involvement with CJP, you may be asked to fill out or update information such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone and cell phone numbers, fax number, credit card information or details about your Jewish community interests. This is most often done through donations and reservations that are made on our website, written out on pledge cards and/or invitation response cards, or taken over the telephone in conversation with a CJP staff member.

We also may collect other identifying information from or about you in connection with your use of our website.  For example, we may collect and store the content of, and data regarding, any correspondence you may have with us or our representatives, regardless of the subject matter or the mode of communication by which such correspondence is made.  As with many other websites, the Internet servers used to operate our website may collect certain information pertaining to you and the software, equipment and communications method that you use to access the Internet and our website.  This information can include: IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses.  This information is used for the operation of our services, to maintain quality of our services, and to provide general statistics regarding use of our website.
