The Orthodox Rabbinical Council of British Columbia, also known as BC Bet Din (“we,” “us” or “our”), respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect personal information received through bcbetdin.org.
Information we collect
When you contact us or submit a form, we may collect information you provide voluntarily, including your name, telephone number, email address, message and other information relevant to your inquiry or application.
Our website may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages requested, dates and times of access, cookies, and security or error-log information.
Please provide only the information reasonably necessary for your inquiry.
How we use information
We may use personal information to:
- Respond to questions and requests.
- Review and administer applications or services.
- Communicate with you about your inquiry.
- Operate, maintain and secure the website.
- Detect spam, misuse, fraud or security threats.
- Meet legal, regulatory and record-keeping obligations.
We will not use personal information for unrelated purposes without consent unless permitted or required by law.
Forms and email
Information submitted through website forms may be stored securely within the website and delivered to authorized representatives by email. Email and internet communications cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure, so sensitive information should not be submitted unless requested through an appropriate secure method.
Service providers
We use service providers for website hosting, form processing, email delivery, security, maintenance and spam prevention. These providers receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their services and may process information outside British Columbia or Canada, where it may be subject to local laws.
Our website uses Google reCAPTCHA to help distinguish legitimate users from automated activity. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
We do not sell or rent personal information.
Cookies and technical information
The website may use essential cookies needed for site functionality, administration, security and form protection. Browser settings can be used to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect some website functions.
Retention and protection
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described above and to satisfy legal or operational requirements. Information that is no longer required is deleted, destroyed or anonymized where reasonably possible.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or loss. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
Access, correction and consent
You may ask to access or correct personal information held about you, withdraw consent where applicable, or raise a privacy concern. Some requests may be subject to legal exceptions or retention requirements.
