WeNabe — Privacy notice
Who we are
WeNabe (wenabe.com) is run by Digital Faith Foundation, trading as Byesar, which decides how your information is used and is responsible for it (the "controller").
Our registration is in progress, including with the Information Commissioner's Office, and our registered details will appear on this page once confirmed. We would rather say so plainly than leave you guessing.
In the meantime, everything else in this notice applies in full, and you can reach a real person about your information at privacy@wenabe.com — including to ask for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to have it deleted. If you are unhappy with how we handle your information you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, whether or not we are registered.
The short version
- WeNabe is free for job seekers. We don't sell your data or share it for advertising.
- Most of what you tell us is private. Your profile is public only if it is approved and you choose to make it public.
- Your phone number and address are seen only by you, by the people whose listings you apply to (for that application), and by WeNabe's administrators.
- Telling us about your faith-related workplace preferences is optional. They are private, and we only keep them with your explicit consent.
- You can delete your account, and we then remove your personal data from the app.
What we collect, why, and on what basis
| Information | Why we use it | Legal basis | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account: email address, display name, role | To run your account and let you sign in | Contract | You and administrators. Your display name is shown with what you post |
| Private details: phone number, address, country | Optional. So you can share them when you apply | Contract / consent | You and administrators |
| Faith-related preferences (optional, e.g. wanting a workplace with a prayer space) | To help you find suitable opportunities | Explicit consent (special category data), which you can withdraw at any time | You and administrators |
| Alert preferences | To remember which updates you want. We don't send alerts yet | Consent | You and administrators |
| Profiles (talent, recruiter, co-founder): headline, bio, role, company, education, experience, availability, sector, country, languages, skills, contract types, day rate, website and LinkedIn links | To show your profile to the community | Contract / consent | Public only once approved and set to public; otherwise you, moderators and administrators |
| Your online CV (summary, work history, education) | To show on your profile and to send with applications | Contract / consent | You and administrators; everyone if you choose to make your CV public; the poster of any listing you apply to |
| Matching preferences | To show you listings that match | Contract | You only |
| Listings you post: job, volunteering, apprenticeship or learning details; organisation; contact email | To publish your opportunity | Contract / legitimate interests | Public once approved; the contact email only to signed-in members |
| Applications: your note, a copy of your CV as it was that day, phone number, status, and the poster's private note | To send your application to the poster and track it | Contract | You, the poster of that listing, and administrators |
| Stories, events, message-board posts, replies and reactions | To share them with the community | Contract / consent | Public once approved. A board post or reply written by a signed-in member is published straight away and can be hidden by moderators |
| Message-board posts and replies sent without an account | To let people ask questions they would not ask under their own name | Legitimate interests | We record nothing about who sent them — no name, no email, no IP address, no cookie that identifies you. A moderator reads each one before it appears. Because nothing links it to you, we cannot find it for you later, change it, or delete it at your request |
| Newsletter sign-up: email, when you consented, which consent wording you saw | To send the newsletter. We do not send one yet, and nothing is sent until we do | Consent | Administrators |
| Contact and feedback messages: name, email, message | To reply and improve WeNabe | Legitimate interests | Administrators |
| Moderation records: who approved, rejected or hid content, when, and why | To run a fair, lawful platform and handle complaints | Legitimate interests | Administrators |
| Sign-in cookies | To keep you signed in | Strictly necessary | See the cookie notice |
Special category data
Information that shows your religion or beliefs is "special category data" under UK law. We only store faith-related preferences if you choose to give them, with your explicit consent. They are never public, never used to decide who can apply for anything, and you can remove them at any time in your account settings.
Listings imported from other websites
Some listings come from other job and charity websites. Each is marked "Imported from [source]" and links to the original. We don't receive any information about you from those websites. If you follow the link, their own privacy policy applies.
Who we share information with
We don't sell your data. We use a small number of service providers who process data for us under contract:
- Database and sign-in: Supabase, on servers in London, United Kingdom (Amazon Web Services, eu-west-2).
- Website hosting: Netlify, a company based in the United States, which serves the site from computers around the world. Netlify holds the pages of the site, not your account information.
- Email: IONOS, a company based in the United Kingdom and Germany, which sends messages such as sign-up confirmations and password resets.
We may also share information if the law requires it.
Where your data is stored
Your account, profile, CV, applications and messages are stored in London, United Kingdom.
Two things are honest to say alongside that. Our website host, Netlify, is a United States company and serves the pages of the site from computers in many countries — but the pages it serves are the same for everyone and hold none of your account information. And when you visit, the ordinary details every website receives, such as your network address, are handled by Netlify and by Cloudflare, which protects the site.
If any provider moves your information outside the UK, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK's standard contract terms for international transfers.
How long we keep it
- Account, profile and private details: until you delete your account.
- Applications: 12 months after the listing closes, then deleted.
- Newsletter sign-up: until you unsubscribe.
- Contact messages: 12 months.
- Moderation records: 2 years. Names are removed when an account is deleted.
- Backups: 30 days.
Deleting your account
When you delete your account we remove your account, private details, profiles, your online CV, matching preferences, applications, stories, events, board posts and reactions, and your newsletter sign-up. Moderation records keep what happened, without linking it to you.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to see your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, receive a copy to take elsewhere, and withdraw consent at any time. Contact privacy@wenabe.com. We reply within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Age
WeNabe is for people aged 18 and over.
Changes
We'll post any changes here, with the date, and tell members about important ones. Last updated: 13 September 2026.
