Sharing of Information

We do not sell donor information.

We may share limited information with trusted service providers when necessary to process donations, manage records, send receipts, or operate the website. This includes Stripe, our payment processor, which handles all donation transactions; Google, whose Gmail service we use to send donation acknowledgments and respond to inquiries; and Base44, the platform used to build and host this website.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or security of Yeshivat Shaarei Talmud, our donors, or others.

We may contact donors regarding donation confirmations, receipts, recurring donation updates, payment issues, or donation-related questions.

If you provide a phone number, it may be used for donation-related communication.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect donor information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure. However, no website or online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We retain donation and donor records as needed for financial, legal, tax, and administrative purposes. To request a correction or deletion of your information, contact us using the details below; note that we may be required to retain certain financial records for tax and legal compliance regardless of a deletion request.
