Privacy Policy
Introduction
Jewish Dissent respects the privacy of its users and visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it may be used, and what choices users have.
By using the site, users agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information Collected
Jewish Dissent may collect:
- Information submitted through contact forms, submissions, correction requests, or listing suggestions.
- Names, email addresses, organisational affiliations, social media links, websites, and other information voluntarily provided.
- Technical information such as browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, IP address, and general location.
- Information collected through cookies and analytics tools.
Public Listings
Many listings on Jewish Dissent concern public figures, organisations, writers, activists, academics, clergy, artists, and others whose relevant information is already publicly available.
Some listings are submitted directly by the individuals or organisations concerned, while others are identified and added by Jewish Dissent based on publicly available information.
Listings that are added by Jewish Dissent are compiled from public sources and are intended for informational, educational, and community purposes.
If someone believes a listing is inaccurate, invasive, unsafe, or no longer appropriate, they may contact Jewish Dissent to request correction, amendment, or removal.
How Information Is Used
Jewish Dissent may use collected information to:
- Operate and improve the site.
- Respond to enquiries, submissions, or correction requests.
- Review listing suggestions.
- Monitor site performance and usage.
- Protect against spam, abuse, fraud, or malicious activity.
- Communicate important updates relating to the platform.
Sharing of Information
Jewish Dissent does not sell personal information.
General contact messages submitted through a profile are sent to the profile owner and copied to Jewish Dissent admin. If no owner is linked, general contact messages go to admin only. Availability enquiries are available only on profiles with a linked owner and are copied to admin. Peer-support reach-out messages and sender details go only to the linked profile owner; admin receives a notification that a request was made, without sender, message, or profile details. Peer-support and availability enquiries cannot be submitted if no owner is linked.
Information may be shared only:
- With service providers who help operate the site.
- Where legally required.
- To protect the rights, safety, or integrity of the platform or others.
- Where a user has given explicit permission.
Data Retention
Information submitted through forms or correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to administer the site, respond to requests, maintain records, or protect against abuse.
Security
Jewish Dissent takes reasonable steps to protect personal information. However, no website or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Users should avoid submitting highly sensitive personal information through the site.
Third-Party Links
The site may contain links to external websites, social media platforms, publications, videos, or organisations. Jewish Dissent is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites.
