5. Confidentiality of Spiritual Content
We recognize that members share deeply personal content within J.O.B. — in Braids, Deprogramming tracks, Elder sessions, and community spaces. We treat this content with the same confidentiality as pastoral communications:
- Staff and Elders with access to member content are bound by confidentiality obligations
- We will not disclose spiritual or personal content shared within J.O.B. to third parties except as required by law (e.g., mandated reporting of imminent harm)
- Anonymized and aggregated data may be used to improve programming
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), secure authentication, and row-level security on our database. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention
- Active members: We retain your data for the duration of your membership
- After termination: We retain basic records (name, email, donation history) for 7 years to comply with tax and legal obligations, then delete them
- Community content: Content shared in tracks and Braids may be retained to maintain community continuity, but can be deleted upon request
8. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete your account and personal data (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Export your data in a portable format
- Opt out of non-essential communications at any time
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at nkat11@gmail.com.
