USER AGREEMENT
Last Amended: September, 2003
Welcome to the AVI CHAI Website (“AVI CHAI Website”), which is jointly operated by The AVI CHAI Foundation and AVI CHAI Israel (“we” or “us”). Please read this Agreement carefully, because by visiting or using the AVI CHAI website, you agree to be legally bound by and comply with its terms. If you do not agree to comply with this Agreement, you are not authorized to use the AVI CHAI Website.
We may revise this User Agreement from time to time. If you continue to use the website after we post the change, this means you have agreed to the new terms.
Privacy Policy
We do not collect personal information from visitors to the AVI CHAI Website, except for anonymous information about visitors that we collect in two ways: through our server and through the use of “cookies.” Our server automatically collects certain anonymous information, such as the Internet service provider a visitor uses (AOL or ATT.net), the type of browser the visitor is using (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer), and each visitor’s Internet Protocol address, which is a number assigned to each user by an Internet service provider. The cookies, which are small text files that are placed on the hard drive of the visitor’s computer to track that visitor’s movement, collect each visitor’s navigation and choice of Web pages. Most Internet browsers will let you disable cookies, if you prefer.
We use this anonymous information to improve the services on the AVI CHAI Website. We share anonymous information in the aggregate with third parties who assist us in operating and improving the AVI CHAI Website. We do not use the anonymous information to gain further information regarding AVI CHAI visitors.
If you email us, we will also receive any personally identifiable information you include in that email, such as your email address, and any information in your message. We will use this information to respond to your request, and we may store your name and email address so we can send you information about AVI CHAI’s activities.
Please note that any personally identifiable information you send us may be stored in the United States, and, by emailing us, you consent to such storage.
If you do not wish us to keep your name and email address or to send you such information, or if you want to revise any personal information you’ve sent us, or if you have any questions about us or our treatment of your information, please contact us via email at office@avichai.org.il .
As the AVI CHAI Website continues to evolve, we may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect new functions that may involve the collection of personal information. We will post any changes to this Web page, so be sure to check it from time to time, because when you continue to use the AVI CHAI Website after we post a change, this means you agree to the new terms.
