Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 May 2026
This policy explains how Kehilla collects and uses personal data when you use kehilla.io and our services. It applies alongside UK GDPR and EU GDPR.
Who holds your data
Kehilla operates the platform. Each synagogue or community using Kehilla is usually the controller of its members' and visitors' data. Kehilla acts as a processor, providing software and hosting on their instructions.
For how your own community uses your data, contact them directly. For anything about Kehilla itself, email info@kehilla.io.
What we process
- Contact and account: name, email, phone, address; sign-in details (including Google where used); family and dependent details your community records.
- Memorial (yahrzeit) information: names and dates you or your community add.
- Payments: invoices, subscriptions, payment status, and identifiers held by payment providers (e.g. Stripe, Achisomoch).
- Events and messaging: registrations, answers to event questions, announcements and reminders, notification preferences.
- Technical: IP address, browser type, timestamps, and logs needed to run and secure the service.
- Content: images and text you upload for websites and events.
Why we process it
We process data to deliver the service: hosting, accounts, payments, communications, and support. Depending on the case, we rely on contract, legitimate interests (security, reliability), legal obligation, or consent where we ask for it.
Who we use
We use providers for hosting, email (e.g. Resend), payments (e.g. Stripe, Achisomoch), sign-in with Google, and optional integrations such as Xero or prayer-time APIs. Data may be processed outside the UK or EEA; where that happens we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) where required.
How long we keep it
We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above and to meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements. Shul administrators manage their own data within the platform; some records must be kept by law.
Your rights
Data protection law gives you rights over your personal data. For questions about how your community uses your data, contact them directly. For questions about Kehilla itself, contact info@kehilla.io.
Security
We use HTTPS, access controls, and separation between communities. Access is limited to what the service requires.
Changes
We will update this page when the policy changes and adjust the date at the top.
