Privacy Policy

Exactly what personal information may be collected and by what means?

We collect your phone number in order to contact you if there is a problem regarding usage of the website. We collect your email to remain in communication with you regarding any updates or any other information we need to share with you. We collect the address and birth date of minors in order to verify their authenticity. We collect your valid credit card number issued to you by a U.S. bank for payment of goods or services. We collect all this information upon your registration.

What is personal information and when does Camp Simcha collect it?

Personal information is information that identifies you and may be used to contact you on-line or off-line. We only collect information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests.

Camp Simcha only collects personal information from our online visitors on a voluntary basis and only during:

1. Registration for membership on our site
2. When you sign up for events
3. When you order products from us online
4. When you request services from Camp Simcha or  third party service providers on our site

Information collected may include your name, e-mail address, phone number, home address and birth date and credit card information to be used for registration purposes.

Online Chat Rooms and Social Media

You may choose to disclose information about yourself in our online chatrooms or in the social media section of the website. Information that you disclose in these situations is public information, and there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in either place. Please see our Terms of Service on this point and for other guidelines about posting content on our web sites here.

Camp Simcha encourages parents to monitor their children’s use of computers and the Internet, including this website. We urge parents to instruct their children never to divulge their names, addresses or phone numbers without permission when using the Internet.

We recognize a special obligation to protect personal information obtained from young children. Therefore, we require that parents consent to their minor children’s registration. Children will not be able to register for the site until parents have registered and notified campsimcha.org of their permission. Once we have obtained parental consent, we are prohibited from conditioning a child’s participation in an activity – like contests – on the child’s disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.

If for any reason you are concerned that your child’s personally identifiable information maintained by Camp Simcha is not correct or complete, should you wish to have your child’s personal information deleted from our records, or if you want Camp Simcha to discontinue further collection or use of your child’s personal information, please contact the Privacy Policy administrator for assistance.
