Online Privacy Policy

Miklat respects the privacy of each individual who contacts us. We are grateful for your support and the crucial role you play in helping us continue our valuable work. As part of our commitment to safeguarding your privacy we have adopted the online privacy policy outlined below.

Collection and Use of Information
We collect two kinds of information, site usage data, which is not individually identifiable, and individually identifiable information.

Site Usage Data
Our Web server automatically recognizes and collects the domain name of each visitor to our Web site. We collect information about visitors to our site, such as the number of visitors, what pages they access, and the length of their visit. This information is used in aggregate form in order to manage our Web site and improve its content.

Individually Identifiable Information
We collect individually identifiable information about you when you choose to share information about yourself, for example, when you make a donation, request information or sign up for the e-mail newsletter.

Individually identifiable information is used to provide you with information or to deliver the service you have requested. If you provide your postal address, telephone number or e-mail address to Miklat online, you may receive periodic contacts from us.

At certain parts of some of our site, only persons who provide us with the requested personally identifiable information will be able to use tools or otherwise participate in the site´s activities and offerings.

We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit some Web pages or fill out forms such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows ´95 or Mac OS) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink).

Sharing Information with Others
Miklat will never share or sell any of your personal information. We do not rent or share our membership or other constituent mailing lists in any form. We will only share personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our rights, or protect the safety of our users or others.

Email Communications
We occasionally send out an email newsletter and direct email communications to Miklat site visitors to highlight news, information and opportunities available from Miklat . In addition, all Miklat e-newsletters have easy-to-follow unsubscribe instructions.

Links to Other Sites
Our site provides links to other Web sites where we think you will find interesting information. Please note that Miklat is not responsible for the information practices of linked sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of each site you visit.

Photographs used on this Site
Protecting the privacy of our women and children is extremely important. For that reason, the photographs appearing on the Miklat Web site are of models only.

Security
In order to prevent unauthorized access and protect our users’ personal information, we strive to maintain physical, electronic and administrative safeguards to secure the information we collect online. For example, online shopping and contributions are processed using a secure server. This secure server software, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, all of the customer transactional data we collect is protected against unauthorized access with the use of digital certificates.

Privacy Policy Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes here. We encourage you to review our policy from time to time.

Questions or Concerns
Whenever you have any questions or concerns, please contact us through any medium you prefer. Your complete satisfaction in dealing with Miklat is important to us. If you have questions about Miklat’s privacy practices described above, please send an e-mail message to info@miklat.org.

Miklat follows the online Privacy Guidelines and the Guidelines on Ethical Business Practice of The Direct Marketing Association (DMA). For more information on these guidelines, visit the DMA at the-dma.org.
