If you voluntarily provide a telephone number to us, you expressly consent to Kahal Yahweh calling or texting in response to contact initiated by you.

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide as part of our Site and Services, including messages, posts, comments, responses, reviews, and ratings you submit through the Site and Services, ("User Generated Content"). Kahal Yahweh may in our sole discretion share your User Generated Content with others. If you do not want certain information shared with others, you should not submit User Generated Content, or should not submit User Generated Content that contains information or Personal Information you do not want shared in this manner.

  • Cookies

Kahal Yahweh may automatically collect non-personally identifiable information and data through the use of cookies.

Cookies also allow a website to track usage behavior and compile site usage information that will allow for the improvement of content and target advertising. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set your browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser. However, please be aware that some features of our Site and Services may not function or may be slower if you refuse cookies. You may also get cookies from other third parties with links on the Site as described below. We do not directly control these cookies.

  • Other Tracking Technologies

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; the MAC address or other technical information from your mobile device; location information through GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or similar technologies; and dates and times that our Site and Services are accessed.

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers, allowing users to opt out of tracking by websites and online services.
