Who We Are
RIF Research Foundation Inc (“RIF”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website shouvaisrael.com (the “Site”). RIF is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID 33-5003016). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the choices you have. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you donate, register, subscribe, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, postal address, phone number, and the content of your messages. When you make a donation we also collect the amount and any dedication or note you provide.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical data when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and the pages you view — through cookies and similar technologies.
Payment information. Donations are processed by a third-party payment processor (Stripe, through our donation platform GiveWP). Your card details are submitted directly to the processor and are not stored on our servers.
How We Use Your Information
- To process and acknowledge your donations and issue receipts;
- To respond to your questions, requests, and prayer or contact submissions;
- To send you updates, teachings, and event information where you have asked to receive them;
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and keep it secure;
- To comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site functioning (for example, to remember your preferences and secure sessions) and, where applicable, to understand how the Site is used so we can improve it. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; some parts of the Site may not function properly if you do.
Embedded Content and Third Parties
Pages on this Site may include embedded content (such as videos from YouTube or social media feeds). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you had visited those websites directly, and those providers may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction in accordance with their own privacy policies.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate (for example, our payment processor and email service provider) and who are bound to protect it, and where required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of RIF, our community, or others.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to maintain donation and tax records as required by law, and to resolve disputes.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent to marketing at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our Contact Us page. You may unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in each message.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please see our Security page for more detail.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
International Visitors
If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where our servers and service providers are located.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date below reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
