Yiddishland California Privacy Policy and Data Protection Notice
Yiddishland California is a project of the non-profit organization called the Yiddish Arts and Academics Association of North America (YAAANA). Our EIN number is 85-2064877. This policy explains how your personal information may be collected and processed through third-party platforms that we use to operate our programs and communications.
Use of Third-Party Platforms to Process Data
YAAANA does not directly collect or store personal information through its website or communication channels. Instead, we utilize trusted third-party services that may process data on our behalf when you interact with our organization. These services include:
- Eventbrite and Humanitix for event registration and ticketing
- PayPal for donations or payments
- Meta Platforms, Inc. (e.g., Facebook Messenger) for communication
- Salesforce CRM to organize messages and contact history
When you send a message to us via Facebook Messenger, register for an event, or make a payment, your data may be processed by these platforms according to their own privacy policies and data practices. We access and use the information they provide only for the purpose of managing communications, events, and community engagement.
Types of Data Processed by Third Parties
Depending on the platform, the types of data that may be processed include:
- Your name or social media profile name
- Email address or contact details
- Message content or event participation details
- Payment or billing information (where applicable)
This data is not stored directly on our servers. Access is limited to authorized staff and volunteers for nonprofit operational use only.
Lawful Use of Data
We access information from third-party platforms in order to:
- Communicate with event participants or community members
- Coordinate event logistics and outreach
- Provide follow-up or support based on incoming inquiries
- Track interactions for community engagement using CRM tools like Salesforce
We do not sell or share personal data with any third parties outside of these service providers.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Third-party platforms may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. Please refer to their privacy policies for detailed information on how these technologies are used and how you can manage your preferences.
Data Rights and Requests
Because your data is managed by third parties, we encourage you to review their individual privacy policies. However, if you would like us to request deletion or access on your behalf (e.g., to remove a Messenger conversation logged in our CRM), please contact us at: info@yiddishland.ca
📧 We will work with the relevant platform (e.g., Salesforce or Meta) to complete your request within 30 days.
Security Measures
While YAAANA does not store personal data directly, we take precautions to ensure the platforms we use are reputable and secure. We restrict access to account credentials and CRM systems to authorized personnel only.
Marketing Communications
If you have opted in to receive updates from YAAANA through a third-party platform (such as a Humanix mailing list or as a Facebook follower), your information may be used to send event notices or newsletters. You may unsubscribe at any time via the original platform or by contacting us at info@yiddishland.ca
