Privacy Policy

Effective September 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how FedFinder ("FedFinder," "we," "us" or "our") collects, uses and shares information about you when you visit fedfinder.org, submit a form, or otherwise use our website and related services (together, the "Services"). By using the Services, you acknowledge that your information will be handled as described in this Policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

When you submit a form through the Services — including a "Get in touch" form on a Federation's page or our contact and corrections form — we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, ZIP or postal code, the organization you select, your stated interests, and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically

When you use the Services, we and our service providers automatically collect information about your device and your use of the Services, such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring and exit pages, pages viewed, links clicked, searches performed, the dates and times of your visits, and approximate location derived from your IP address. We collect this information using cookies, pixels, local storage and similar technologies.

If you choose to use a location feature, such as "Use my location," your device may share its location with the Services so that we can identify Federations near you.

Information from other sources

We obtain information from public and third-party sources, including government records, organization directories, organizations' own websites, our affiliated websites, service providers and business partners.

2. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

  • provide, operate, maintain and improve the Services;
  • respond to and route your inquiries, including by forwarding them to the Federations and community organizations you ask about;
  • communicate with you, including to send responses, updates, newsletters, and information about programs, events, opportunities and services that may interest you;
  • personalize content and advertising, and measure its effectiveness;
  • understand how the Services are used, and conduct research and analytics;
  • develop new features, products and services, including in connection with our affiliated websites;
  • detect, prevent and address spam, fraud, security issues and misuse;
  • comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms; and
  • for any other purpose described to you when the information is collected, or with your consent.

3. How we share information

We may share information as follows:

  • Federations and community organizations. When you submit a "Get in touch" form, we share your message and contact details with the Federation you selected and, where relevant to your request, with other organizations that may be able to help.
  • Affiliated websites. With our affiliated websites, including AllJewishJobs and ShulMap.
  • Service providers. With vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, form processing and email delivery (for example, Formspark), analytics, and mapping.
  • Advertising and analytics partners. With partners, such as Google, that collect information through cookies and similar technologies as described in Section 4.
  • Business partners. With partners and other third parties for business purposes, including to offer programs, products, services or opportunities that may interest you.
  • Legal and safety. When we believe disclosure is required by law or legal process, or is appropriate to protect the rights, property or safety of FedFinder, our users or others.
  • Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets or similar transaction.
  • With your consent or at your direction.

We may also share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

4. Cookies, analytics and advertising

We use Google Analytics to understand how the Services are used. You can learn how Google uses this information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

We may display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies; some features of the Services may not work without them. The Services do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals.

6. Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

9. Your choices and rights

Emails. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in those emails. We may still send you messages related to your inquiries.

Access, correction and deletion. You may ask to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you by contacting us as described below.

State privacy rights. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable law — such as the right to know what personal information we have collected, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information or its use for targeted advertising. To exercise these rights, contact us as described below. We may need to verify your request, and an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf where permitted. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

10. International users

The Services are operated in the United States. If you use the Services from outside the United States, including from Canada, your information may be transferred to, stored in and processed in the United States and other countries, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
