Your Personal Information – Membership in a spiritual community brings with it an informal understanding that certain information or news about members and their “life cycle” events will be sensitively shared within the B’nai Torah Congregation community. Accordingly, our website may include news about congregational simchas and bereavements, and other community news, but we will generally not include news of our members’ illnesses.

Personally identifiable information, such as your name and e-mail address, may be requested in online forms that allow you to provide feedback, register for events, make donations or purchases, and so on. This data is kept securely either on our site, hosted by Jvillage Network, or at the synagogue. B’nai Torah Congregation may share your information with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, of which we are a member, but B’nai Torah Congregation does not share, sell, or rent to other third-parties any personal information collected on this website. Since we may use your personal information to provide services to you, it is important that the information be accurate and up-to-date. If any of the information changes, or if you become aware that the personal information we have is incorrect, please inform us so that we can make the necessary changes.
We will not post phone numbers, addresses or e-mail addresses for B’nai Torah Congregation members on our website other than in connection with event planning and other appropriate Synagogue activities, and then only with the knowledge of the members. The membership directory may be posted in a secure password protected section of the website. Any information published in the directory will be with the member’s permission.
