Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Jonah X Projects ("Jonah X", "we", "us") is a UK not-for-profit organisation protecting cultural heritage in conflict zones. We take your privacy seriously and collect as little personal information as we can. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

Who we are

Jonah X Projects Ltd, a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales (company number 16027771). Registered office: Unit 2 Green Farm Business Park, Folly Road, Latteridge, Bristol BS37 9TZ. We are the data controller for the information described below. You can contact us at info@jonahxprojects.org.

What we collect and why

  • Newsletter. If you sign up, we keep your email address so we can send you news about our work. We do this with your consent. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can withdraw consent at any time.

  • Donations. When you donate through our website, your payment is handled by Squarespace and its payment partners (Stripe or PayPal). We receive your name, email address, billing address and the amount you gave. We never see or store your full card details. We use this information to process your gift, thank you, and keep the financial records we are legally required to keep. Donations made through Chapel & York are covered by Chapel & York's own privacy policy.

  • Emails to us. If you write to us, we keep your message and contact details so we can reply and keep a record of our correspondence.

  • Website visits. Our website is hosted by Squarespace, which uses essential cookies to make the site work and collects basic, anonymised analytics (such as pages visited and approximate location). See Squarespace's Cookie Policy for details.

Who we share it with

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with the service providers who help us run our website, email and donations (Squarespace, Google Workspace, Stripe, PayPal), or where the law requires us to. Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, they are bound by appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep it

We keep newsletter details until you unsubscribe. We keep donation records for six years, as UK law requires for financial records. We keep correspondence only for as long as it is useful.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information. You can also object to or restrict how we use it, ask for a copy in a portable format, or withdraw your consent. To do any of these, email info@jonahxprojects.org. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page.
