Yehosef's Online Privacy Statement, including our comprehensive Cookie Policy, outlines in detail how we are committed to protecting your privacy and managing your personal information when you interact with our Site. This statement serves as a guiding framework for our data practices, and by accessing or using the Site, you explicitly acknowledge and agree that Yehosef may collect, process, and utilize your information in accordance with these carefully crafted policies.
Yehosef Network, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Yehosef"), places the highest priority on safeguarding your privacy while striving to deliver a seamless and positive experience across our websites and through the use of our diverse range of products and services (collectively referred to as "Solution" or "Solutions"). Our commitment extends beyond mere compliance to fostering trust and transparency in all our interactions with you.
Collection of Your Personal Information
As you navigate our websites, engage with our Solutions, or communicate with us directly, we may collect a wide variety of data, including personal information that can uniquely identify you as an individual. This "personal information" encompasses, but is not limited to, your full name, physical mailing address, email address, telephone number, login credentials such as account numbers and passwords, your marketing preferences, social media account details, and even payment card information when applicable. Additionally, if we combine other non-identifying data with your personal information, such as browsing patterns or usage statistics, we will treat that combined dataset as personal information to ensure its protection. To enhance our services and tailor your experience, we also gather personal information from trusted third-party sources, such as business partners or data providers, and may employ third-party services to assist in collecting this information on our behalf.
Security of Your Personal Information
Our intention is to rigorously protect the personal information you entrust to us, treating it with the utmost care and securing it in accordance with this Privacy Statement. To achieve this, Yehosef employs a multifaceted approach, incorporating physical safeguards (like secure facilities), administrative measures (such as staff training and access controls), and advanced technical protections (including encryption and firewalls). These safeguards are meticulously designed to shield your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure by individuals or entities not permitted to handle it. Furthermore, we extend these security expectations to our suppliers and partners through contractual agreements, requiring them to implement equivalent protections to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of your data. However, it’s important to recognize that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to maintain robust defenses, we cannot absolutely ensure or warrant the impenetrability of our systems against all potential threats.
Retention of Personal Information
We will retain your personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the specific purposes for which it was originally collected, such as providing you with services, responding to inquiries, or personalizing your experience on the Site. Beyond that, we will continue to hold and use your personal information as required to meet our internal business needs, such as analytics or customer support, comply with legal obligations under applicable laws, resolve any disputes that may arise, protect our assets from potential misuse, and enforce the terms of our agreements with you or third parties. The duration of retention will vary depending on the nature of the data and the context of its collection, always guided by principles of necessity and proportionality.
Use of Cookies and Other Web Technologies
Like many modern websites, Yehosef leverages sophisticated automatic data collection tools to enhance your browsing experience. These tools include cookies (small text files stored on your device), embedded web links (which track interactions), and web beacons (tiny graphics that monitor activity). These technologies collect standard information that your browser transmits to our Site, such as the type and version of your browser, your operating system, and the URL of the website you visited immediately before arriving at ours. This data helps us understand how you interact with the Site and improve its functionality over time.
These tools may also gather more specific details, including:
Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, a unique numerical identifier automatically assigned to your computer or device each time you connect to the Internet. This address, provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or IT department on a TCP/IP network, enables web servers to locate and communicate with your device, facilitating seamless browsing. It may also provide approximate location data based on your network.
Clickstream behavior, which tracks your journey through the Site in granular detail. This includes, for instance, the specific pages you view, the links you click, the duration of your stay on each page, and the sequence of your navigation. By analyzing this behavior, we can optimize page layouts, streamline navigation paths, and ensure that the content you encounter is both relevant and engaging. These tools collectively make your visit more efficient, personalized, and valuable by recognizing your preferences and adapting the Site accordingly when you return. For additional details, you can explore how we utilize automatic data collection tools like cookies and widgets, and learn how to manage your preferences regarding these technologies.
Our Site also incorporates widgets, interactive mini-programs embedded within pages to deliver specialized services from external providers. Examples include real-time news feeds, user opinion polls, video players, or social media integrations. These widgets may collect personal information, such as your email address if you opt to interact with them, and they often set cookies to ensure proper functionality. The data collected via widgets is subject to the privacy policies of the third-party companies that develop them, and we encourage you to review those policies for full transparency.
Certain web browsers offer a "do not track" (DNT) feature, which sends a signal to websites indicating your preference against tracking your online activities. This feature differs from blocking or deleting cookies, as browsers with DNT enabled may still accept cookies for functional purposes. Currently, there is no universally accepted industry standard dictating how websites must respond to DNT signals, though such a standard may emerge in the future. At present, Yehosef websites do not recognize or act upon DNT signals. Should we adopt this capability later, we will update this Privacy Statement to explain our approach. For more information on DNT, you can explore external resources dedicated to this topic.
We collaborate with third-party partners to display advertisements on our Site or manage our advertising campaigns on external platforms. These partners may employ cookies or similar tracking technologies to deliver tailored advertisements based on your browsing habits and interests. If you prefer not to receive interest-based ads, you have the option to opt out through the following methods:
- If you are located in the European Union, follow the opt-out process specific to EU regulations.
- If you are located elsewhere in the world, use the global opt-out mechanism provided.
Please note that opting out will not eliminate all advertisements; you will still see generic, non-personalized ads as part of your browsing experience.
Linked Websites
Our Site may include hyperlinks to third-party websites and services that operate independently of Yehosef and are not governed by this Privacy Statement. These links are provided solely for your convenience, offering access to additional resources or information that may be of interest. However, we do not control these external sites, nor do we endorse their content, practices, or policies. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy statements of any linked websites you visit (and indeed all websites) to understand how they handle your data, as their practices may differ significantly from ours.
Children's Privacy
Yehosef is deeply committed to protecting the privacy of children and encourages parents and guardians to actively monitor and guide their children's online activities. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without obtaining appropriate parental or guardian consent, in strict compliance with applicable laws such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States. If you suspect that we may have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of consent in your jurisdiction (typically 13, though this may vary) without proper authorization, please contact us immediately using the methods outlined in the "How to Contact Us" section below. Upon notification, we will promptly investigate the matter and take all necessary steps to address the issue, including deleting the data if required.
Consent to Transfer, Processing, and Storage of Personal Information
As a global organization, Yehosef operates across multiple jurisdictions, and your personal information may be transferred to Yehosef entities in the United States of America, to any of our subsidiaries worldwide, or to third-party business partners and service providers located in various countries. By using our websites, Solutions, or providing any personal information to us, where permitted by applicable law, you explicitly consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of such information outside your country of residence. This may involve jurisdictions with data protection standards that differ from those in your home country, and we are committed to ensuring that such transfers comply with legal requirements and our privacy commitments.
Yehosef Safeguards for Global Data Transfers
To protect your personal information during these international transfers, Yehosef implements several robust mechanisms:
APEC Privacy Certification
Yehosef's global privacy program has been certified by the U.S. APEC Accountability Agent as compliant with the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Cross-Border Privacy Rules System (CBPRs). This certification establishes a framework ensuring that personal information transferred among participating APEC economies, including countries like the United States, Japan, and Australia, receives consistent protection. Our certification covers all business processes across our global operations that handle and transfer personal information to and from our affiliates worldwide. For more details on the APEC Privacy Framework and CBPRs, visit the official APEC resources. To verify our certification, please visit the TRUSTe validation page by clicking the TRUSTe seal on our Site.
EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shields
Yehosef participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, as established by the U.S. Department of Commerce. These frameworks govern the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union (EU) and Switzerland to the United States. We pledge to adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles for all personal data received from EU member countries and Switzerland under these frameworks. In cases where this Privacy Statement conflicts with the Privacy Shield Principles, the latter shall prevail. Learn more about these frameworks by visiting the U.S. Department of Commerce's Privacy Shield website. Yehosef remains accountable for processing personal data under these frameworks and ensures that any onward transfers to third-party agents comply with Privacy Shield Principles, including liability provisions. We may disclose personal data in response to lawful requests from public authorities, such as for national security or law enforcement purposes, and we are subject to the enforcement authority of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
EU Binding Corporate Rules - Controller
Yehosef's global privacy policies have been approved by privacy regulators in the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and other relevant European authorities as providing adequate safeguards for protecting privacy, fundamental rights, and freedoms during transfers of personal information protected under European law. Our Binding Corporate Rules - Controller (BCR-C) ensure that European personal data transferred globally by Yehosef benefits from consistent and stringent protections. You can access a copy of our BCR-C online, and additional information about BCRs is available through European data protection resources.
If you have an unresolved privacy concern related to personal data processed or transferred under the CBPRs or Privacy Shield frameworks that we have not adequately addressed, you may contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider free of charge via their designated portal. Under specific conditions outlined on the Privacy Shield website, you may also invoke binding arbitration if other resolution methods are exhausted.
Your California Privacy Rights
For residents of California, under California Civil Code § 1798.83 (the "Shine the Light" law), you have the right to request a list of third parties to whom we have disclosed your personal information for direct marketing purposes in the preceding year. However, as an alternative, California law allows companies with a privacy policy offering an opt-out or opt-in choice for third-party marketing use to provide information on how to exercise those options instead. Yehosef qualifies for this alternative approach. Our comprehensive Privacy Statement details how you can opt out of or opt into the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing. As such, we are not obligated to maintain or disclose a list of third parties who received your data for marketing purposes in the prior year. If you’re a California resident seeking guidance on exercising your disclosure choices, please send us an email request as outlined below.
How to Contact Us
We genuinely value your feedback and encourage you to share any questions, concerns, or comments about this Privacy Statement. Our dedicated privacy team is available to assist you and can be reached via email at [email protected]. We aim to respond promptly and thoroughly to all inquiries to ensure your confidence in our privacy practices.
Updates to this Yehosef Privacy Statement
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Statement periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technological advancements. When modifications occur, we will post the revised version here, clearly indicating the updated revision date. You agree to periodically review this page to stay informed of any changes. Should we make significant alterations to this Statement, we may also notify you through additional channels, such as a prominent notice on our websites or a direct email notification, prior to the changes taking effect. By continuing to use our Site after such revisions are implemented, you signify your acceptance of the updated terms and your commitment to comply with them.
This Privacy Statement applies universally to all Yehosef websites and Solutions that link to or reference it, providing a detailed explanation of how we manage personal information and the options available to you regarding its collection, use, access, and correction. Supplementary information about our data practices may be provided in specific offer descriptions, additional privacy statements, or notices delivered at the point of data collection. Certain Yehosef websites may feature their own tailored privacy statements; in cases where these conflict with this Statement, the site-specific notice or supplemental statement will take precedence. |
