What we collect
We only collect information that helps you learn with us or that we're legally required to keep.
- Account information: your name, email address, preferred language, and (optionally) a password if you don't sign in with Google.
- Family information (Family plan only): first name and grade of each child you add to your account, so we can place them in the right Sunday School lesson.
- Learning activity: which courses you enroll in, which lessons you've opened, and which live classes you RSVP to.
- Inquiries: anything you send us through a form on the site β for example, a B Mitzvah consultation request or a life-cycle event inquiry.
- Technical basics: your browser type, approximate region, and error logs, so we can fix things that break.
What we do NOT collect
We want to be clear about the things a lot of websites do that we do not do:
- We do not sell your personal information. Ever. To anyone.
- We do not run advertising trackers or third-party ad networks on this site.
- We do not build advertising profiles about you or your children.
- We do not share your children's names, ages, or activity with anyone outside our teaching staff.
- We do not use your information to train third-party AI models.
How we use your information
We use the information above only for the reasons you'd expect:
- To create and maintain your account and family profiles.
- To send you the Zoom link for a class you signed up for, or a reply to a form you sent us.
- To keep track of what you've enrolled in so you can pick up where you left off.
- To keep the site secure and to fix bugs.
- To send occasional emails about your classes or important changes. We do not add you to marketing lists without your permission.
Children and families
Our Sunday School is designed for kids in kindergarten through 7th grade. Only a parent or guardian may create the family account. Children do not sign in on their own and do not receive marketing email from us.
For each child on a Family plan we store only a first name (or nickname) and a grade level. You can edit or remove any child profile from your dashboard at any time.
If you believe a child under 13 has an account without a parent's involvement, please email us and we will remove it right away.
How long we keep information
We keep account information for as long as you have an active account plus a short period after, in case you come back. You can ask us to delete your account and all associated data at any time by writing to info@KolHadash.com β we will confirm and complete the deletion within 30 days, except for records we are legally required to keep (for example, donation receipts).
Your rights and choices
Regardless of where you live, you may ask us to:
- See a copy of the information we have about you.
- Correct anything that is wrong.
- Delete your account and personal information.
- Export your enrollment history.
- Opt out of any non-essential email.
Security
Your account is protected by encrypted connections (HTTPS) and industry-standard authentication. No system is perfect, but we work hard to keep your information safe. If we ever discover a breach that affects you, we will notify you promptly.
International users
Kol Hadash Online is operated from the United States. If you access the site from outside the U.S., your information will be handled in the U.S. under the practices described here.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy in a meaningful way, we will post the new date at the top and, for logged-in users, notify you by email before the change takes effect.
