The Jewish Agency takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via our website, your information is protected both online and off-line. The Jewish Agency respects and protects the privacy of our online visitors and donors. We will not share your e-mail address, nor personal or credit card information with third parties.

When our donation form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry -VeriSign SSL certification. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.

While we use VeriSign SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, processing your donation) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.
