Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Yeshivas Mevakshei Torah INC (“the Yeshiva,” “we”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through our website, how we use it, and how we protect it.

Information We Collect

When you make a donation or payment: your name, email address, billing address, the amount, what the payment is for, and any note you add. Card details (card number, expiration date and security code) are entered directly into secure fields provided by our payment processor, Sola Payments. They are never seen or stored by our website. We receive only the card type and its last four digits. If you pay by Zelle, we record the confirmation number and the name on the sending account that you provide.

When you apply: the applicant’s name, email address and phone number, the application form, and any documents you upload, such as a transcript, a photo and letters of recommendation.

When you contact us: your name, email address, phone number (if you provide it) and your message.

Automatically: to keep the website secure and prevent fraud and spam, we use your IP address and a security check provided by Cloudflare. Our website does not use advertising cookies or tracking tools.

How We Use Your Information

  • To process donations and payments, and to send receipts and confirmations
  • To review applications and contact applicants and their families
  • To respond to messages and questions
  • To prevent fraud and misuse of our website
  • To keep records as required for tax and accounting purposes

How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that help us run the website, and only as needed for them to do so:

  • Sola Payments: processes card payments and recurring donations
  • Netlify: hosts our website and its secure storage
  • Resend: delivers the emails our website sends
  • JotForm: provides the online application form
  • Cloudflare: provides the security check that blocks automated spam
  • Google Fonts: provides the typefaces used to display our pages

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law.

Recurring Donations

If you set up a recurring donation, your card is stored securely by Sola Payments, not by our website, so that each monthly payment can be processed. To change or cancel a recurring donation, please contact us at ymt@mevaksheitorah.org.

How Long We Keep Information

Files uploaded with an application are deleted from our website within a few days, once they have been delivered to our office. Records of payments and applications are deleted from our website after one year. Copies kept by our office, such as emails and payment records, are retained as needed for the Yeshiva’s records and as required by law.

How We Protect Your Information

Our website uses encrypted (HTTPS) connections. Card details are entered only into Sola Payments’ secure fields, and access to the information we receive is limited to those at the Yeshiva who need it.

Your Choices

You may ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us. We do not send marketing emails through our website.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
