Privacy Notice

Who is responsible: Netivot Noam, which runs Shapell’s – Darche Noam and Midreshet Rachel v’Chaya, is responsible for the information you give in this application. Questions about your privacy: Rabbi Shmuel Jablon, sjablon@darchenoam.org.

Why we ask: We collect this information to decide on your admission and, if you are accepted, to run the program: your studies, housing, visa and payments, your safety, and contact with you and your family. We will not use it for another purpose without asking you.

Are you required to answer? The law does not require you to give us this information. But we cannot consider your application without the questions marked required.

Sensitive information: The application asks about your health, your family, your Jewish background and your passport details. We ask for these only because they are needed for admission, safety and visa arrangements. Only staff who need it will see it.

Who receives it: Our staff, and these service providers that store it for us: Jotform (online forms), Salesforce (our records), and Google (file storage and email). Some of them keep information outside Israel, for example in the United States. We share information with authorities only when the law requires it, and with others (for example MASA) only if you apply for their programs.

How long we keep it: If you enroll, for as long as you are a student and [number] years after. If you do not enroll, we delete your application after [number] months.

**another option:

We keep your information for as long as we need it for the purposes above and as the law requires. If you enroll, that includes your time as a student and the period afterwards in which we must keep our records. If you do not enroll, we delete your application [when the admissions decision for your start date is complete / within a reasonable time after the decision].

Your rights: You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, and you can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting sjablon@darchenoam.org. If you withdraw it, we may not be able to continue with your application.
