Introduction
Florida Jewish News ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and does not sell the personal information we collect. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using our website, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information needed to run the site and serve our readers.
- Information you give us. This includes your name, email address, and message when you subscribe to a newsletter, fill out a contact or submission form, submit an event or announcement, or inquire about advertising.
- Information collected automatically. When you visit, basic technical data may be recorded, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your questions, submissions, and requests
- Send newsletters or updates you have signed up for
- Understand how readers use the site so we can improve our content and experience
- Keep the website secure and working properly
- Comply with legal obligations
We Do Not Sell Your Information
Florida Jewish News does not sell, rent, lease, or trade the personal information we collect from you. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We may disclose information only when required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or to trusted service providers who help us operate the website and are bound to use the information only for that purpose.
Our Website Platform (Base44 and Wix)
Our website is built and hosted on Base44, a platform owned by Wix. As a result, Base44's and Wix's own privacy policies and data practices apply to the technical operation of the platform, including hosting, infrastructure, and any data they collect or process in running it. We do not control those practices.
This is separate from the information that Florida Jewish News itself collects, such as newsletter signups and messages sent to us. We do not sell or rent that information, as described above.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies published by Base44 and Wix to understand how they handle data.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Like most websites, ours and its hosting platform may use cookies or similar technologies to keep the site functioning, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.
Data Retention and Security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Rights
You may contact us at any time to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to ask us to delete it. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any message or by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws, and we will honor valid requests.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
