Privacy Policy
Effective Date: February 19, 2026
1. Introduction
Palo Alto Jewish Alliance - PAJA ("we," "us," or "our") is a volunteer-powered grassroots coalition dedicated to
sustaining Jewish life in Palo Alto, CA.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through our website.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide to us when you "Get Involved," sign up for our
newsletter or register for events. This may include:
● Contact Information: Name, email address, phone number, and city of residence.
● Community Roles: Whether you are a parent, student, educator, or community member.
● Interests: Your preference for K-12 school issues or municipal/community advocacy.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to:
● Send segmented newsletters and "Advocacy Alerts" relevant to your interests.
● Coordinate local volunteer opportunities and student leadership programs.
● Process donations through our fiscal sponsor, the Bay Area Center to Counter Antisemitism (BACCA).
4. Third-Party Links and Partnerships
● ActNowK12.org: Our website links to ActNowK12.org for incident reporting. PAJA does not own or manage the data submitted to ActNowK12. Your use of that platform is governed by their specific privacy and confidentiality protocols.
● Fiscal Sponsorship: Donations are processed by BACCA, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We
do not store your credit card or financial banking information on our servers.
5. Data Storage and Security
Our website is built on the Wix platform, and our forms utilize Jotform or google Forms with conditional logic to ensure data is handled securely and routed to the appropriate volunteer lead (e.g., K-12 vs. Community). We do not sell or rent your personal information to third-party "bad actors" or commercial entities.
6. Confidentiality of Incident Guidance
While we provide guidance to families facing antisemitic discrimination, we maintain confidentiality regarding the details shared with our volunteer "incident response teams".
7. Your Choices
You may opt-out of our communications at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in our
emails.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may periodically update this policy. Please check our web site for the most up-to-date privacy policy.
