We’ve updated our Privacy Policy for the first time since February 2022. The previous policy was generated using a GDPR-compliant template and, while legally sound, read like it was written for a large corporation, not a free community resource run by one person.
The new policy is rewritten in plain language and reflects how Hebcal actually works. A few highlights:
- Data retention schedules are now specific. We describe exactly what we keep and for how long. We’ve also implemented an automated purge of old email tracking and bounce data for inactive subscriptions after 2 years.
- Hebcal apps beyond the website. The policy now covers the Hebcal Apple Watch app (which collects no data at all) and the Alexa skill.
- Analytics transparency. We describe our self-hosted, cookieless Matomo analytics setup, including how we anonymize IP addresses before they are stored.
