Privacy

Some rentals and jobs are shown only to members of the community. To ask for a member account you sign in with Google. Google tells this site your name, your email address, that the address is confirmed, and an account number that identifies you to this site. The site never sees your Google password or anything else in your Google account.

When you ask for an account, the site also keeps the phone number you give, and your answer to "Who in the community knows you?" if you write one. It keeps the date you asked, the date your request was decided, and the date you last signed in. If you sign in but never send the request, your name and email are deleted about 30 days later.

This is used only to decide whether to approve you and to contact you about your request. Your details are never shown on the site.

Only the site's admins at Chabad Kingston, on the site's password-protected admin page. When you ask for an account, the site manager gets an email with your name, email, phone and note, sent through FormSubmit, an email form service. Nothing is sold or shared with anyone else. The site runs on Cloudflare, which stores the data for us.

Signing in puts one cookie in your browser that keeps you signed in for 30 days, or until you sign out. A second cookie lasts 10 minutes, only while you are signing in. There are no advertising or tracking cookies. Visit counts come from Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies.

The site keeps a short record: your Google account number, name, email, whether the request was declined or the account removed, and the date. It is kept so the admins know about it if the same person asks again. Deleting your account does not erase this record. To ask about it, send us a message.

Sign in, open your account, and press "Delete my account". That removes your account, your phone number, your note and your sign-ins straight away. You can ask again later. Listings you posted stay up until they expire, since they belong to the directory; to take one down sooner, send us a message.

Some homes on the Homes page show a street picture marked "Google Maps". Your browser loads that picture straight from Google, so Google receives your internet address and browser details, as with any Google service. This site does not send Google anything about you. See Google's privacy policy.

What you put in a listing (a job, a home, a business, an event) is shown on the site once it is approved, for 90 days. Shabbos meal requests, RSVPs and messages go only to the office and are never shown. The office is emailed a copy of each one. To stop spam, the site keeps a scrambled code made from your internet address, not the address itself.
