To opt-out, please click here or use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Information” link contained in the footer of the DW website. Please note that opting-out of the sale of your information for interest-based advertising purposes does not mean you will stop seeing ads, including interest-based ads, and your information that was collected and sold prior to 90 days before your opt-out request may be further used and sold for interest-based advertising purposes
Alternatively, to submit a request to exercise any of your California privacy rights, please contact us using one of the following methods:
• Via our Privacy Center
• Via email to privacy@thelandofisrael.com
• Call us at 1(866)TDW-CPRA (839-2772)
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes to which the right to limit use and disclosure applies under the CCPA and CPRA.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making. You have the right to opt out of automated decision-making, including profiling, that we use to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to your performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of Your Privacy Rights. If you choose to exercise any of your privacy rights under the CCPA and CPRA, you also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us.
You may use an authorized agent to submit requests. We do not discriminate against a user if they exercise any of the rights available under the CCPA or CPRA. However, we may charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of good or service, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable data and permitted under the law. We will make a good faith estimate of the value of the consumer’s data based on relevant expenses related to the collection and retention of personal information as part of each such program.
In addition, we may offer you financial incentives for the collection, sale and retention and use of your personal information and sensitive personal information as permitted by applicable state laws that can, without limitation, result in reasonably different prices, rates, or quality levels. The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described below or in its program terms. Please note that participating in incentive programs is entirely optional. You will have to affirmatively opt-in to the program and you can opt-out of each program (i.e., terminate participation and forgo the ongoing incentives) prospectively by following the instructions in the applicable program description and terms. We may add or change incentive programs and/or their terms by posting notice on the program descriptions and terms linked to above so check them regularly.
The financial incentive we offer to consumers through each program is reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data. We have made a good faith estimate of the value of the consumer’s data based on relevant expenses related to the collection and retention of personal information as part of each program.
Participants in a financial incentive program may make a personal information deletion request as set forth herein. Consumers that are part of a rewards program will then be sent an email requesting that they confirm that they want to delete their respective program data. You may also terminate program participation at any time, as explained in each program’s terms or by emailing us at support@thelandofisrael.com. Upon a termination request, some program data associated with the terminated account may be retained for recordkeeping, tax reporting, and other legally permissible purposes. You can opt out of non-program marketing emails or delete your personal information from our active marketing lists and retain your program account and benefits.
We will not fulfill a request pursuant to CCPA or CPRA unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the consumer about whom we collected personal information and/or sensitive personal information. We will take appropriate steps to confirm the identity of a consumer making a request for purposes of verifying the authenticity of the request. You may be required to provide certain personal information to allow us to verify that you are the consumer about whom the request is being made. If you request that we provide you with specific pieces of personal information about you, we will apply heightened verification standards. An authorized agent may submit a request on behalf of a consumer if the consumer has provided the authorized agent with power of attorney in accordance with necessary state law; alternatively, the agent must (1) present verifiable written authorization from the consumer that the agent has the consumer’s permission to submit the request; and (2) independently verify the agent’s own identity with The Land of Israel Network. We will typically not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests, but we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded, or overly burdensome. Some Personal Information we maintain about consumers (e.g., clickstream data) is not sufficiently associated with enough personal information about the consumer for us to be able to verify that it is a particular consumer’s personal information. Accordingly, we will not include such information in response to consumer requests. If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reasons in our response. We will use personal information provided in your request only to verify your identity or authority to make the request and to track and document request responses unless you also provided the personal information to us for another purpose.
We do not sell the personal information and sensitive personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information or sensitive personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
Please note that while CCPA and CPRA rights do apply to personal information collected from job applicants and employees, this policy only covers those individuals in their capacity as users of our website. Separate privacy disclosures will be made to these parties during their application and onboarding processes.
