Who we are

Congregation Ohel Yosef of Oakhurst, 144 Ampere Avenue, Oakhurst, NJ 07755, runs this website. Questions about your information go to the office at ohelyosef2618@gmail.com or info@ohelyosef.org.

What we collect

We collect only what you give us, used only to do what you asked, and a simple count of visits to the website:

• Mikveh appointments: your name, email and phone, and the time you booked. Only the mikveh attendant and the office can see them.
• Sponsorships, seats and donations: your name, email and phone, the amount and any dedication.
• Payments: no card payments are taken on this website, and we never see or store a card number.
• Email updates: your email address, so we can send news of the synagogue. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
• Text messages: if you ask for our text messages, your mobile number. Message frequency varies (up to about four a month). Reply STOP to any message to stop them; we send one message to confirm and no more. Reply HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply.
• Dedications, simchas and yahrzeits: what you tell us in those forms, so the office can do what you asked.
• Staff accounts: name, email and role, and the one-time sign-in codes we email to staff.
• Visits to this website: which pages are viewed, for roughly how long, how visitors arrived (for example from Google or an email) and whether on a phone or a computer. We use no cookies and store no IP addresses: each visitor is recognised for one day only, by a code that can’t identify them. Visit records are kept for 13 months.

Who we share it with

We never sell, trade or rent your information or use it for advertising, and no mobile information is shared with anyone for marketing; your text message consent is never shared with anyone. We share it only with the services that run the website and its email: our web host and our email delivery service. Each one uses it only to provide that service.

Keeping and deleting it

We keep records as long as the synagogue needs them for its work and its books. To see, correct or delete your information, contact the office.

Children

The website is for adults and families. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13.
