Privacy policy

Last updated: 19 July 2026

This policy explains how the Jersey Christian Portal (“we”, “the Portal”) handles personal data under the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018.

What we collect

• Account data: your name, email address and the church you tell us you belong to.
• Listing and notice content: whatever you choose to publish, including any contact details you enter. These are public.
• Reports: if you report a listing, the reason you give and (optionally) your email.

Religious affiliation

Your church membership indicates your religious beliefs, which is special category data. We process it only with your explicit consent, given at registration, and only for two purposes: showing which church community a listing belongs to, and the monthly review by your church’s leadership. You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account, which removes your listings.

Who sees what

• The public sees your listings, notices, name and church name.
• Your church’s leadership sees your listings once a month for review.
• Site administrators see account data, reports and review outcomes.
• We never sell data or use it for advertising.

Where it’s stored

Data is stored with Google Firebase and our hosting provider Vercel, whose servers may be outside Jersey. Emails are sent via SendGrid. Each provider processes data under its own safeguards and our instructions.

Retention & your rights

We keep your data while your account is active. “Looking for” notices expire after 30 days. On request we will provide a copy of your data, correct it, or erase your account and everything attached to it within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner (jerseyoic.org).
