We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how personally identifying information (“personal information”) collected through the Open Siddur Project website is processed and used. It does not cover personal information that may be collected through other websites or in other venues.

Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal information

We collect your name (or pseudonym) and a contact e-mail address either the first time you upload content or when you subscribe to our RSS to Email service. We may also collect other personal information from you, such as location, organizational affiliation, skills, or profile biography, only when you voluntarily submit this information. The Open Siddur Project will not sell, share or rent your information to others except when we need to share the information to provide a product or service you have requested. We also will disclose personal information to enforce our rights, to prevent fraud or when required by law, judicial process or other legal order to do so.

However, with the exception of your email address, your user identification and any other submitted information (if provided) will be made public along with any User Content you post on the Open Siddur Project. Additionally, any personal information you choose to share on the Website will be publicly available.

When and if you need to remove your contact email from either the content archive database or the RSS to Email service, let us know through a message sent from your contact and we will comply just as soon as possible (shouldn’t take more than 30 days at the very most).
