Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

funds.je ("we", "us", "our") is an independent online directory and intelligence platform for the Jersey fund services industry. We are not regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) and do not provide regulated financial advice. Our registered address is in Jersey, Channel Islands.

For data protection enquiries, contact us at privacy@funds.je.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly:

• Account registration: name, email address, company name, role.
• RFP submissions: your name, email, fund details, and the content of your brief.
• Job applications: if you use our apply button, we record the click and redirect you to the employer's own application system. We do not collect your CV or application data.
• Job alerts: email address used to set up alerts.
• Contact form: name, email, and message content.

We also collect information automatically:

• Server logs: IP address, browser type, pages visited, referral URL, and timestamps.
• Cookies: session identifiers, preferences, and analytics data (see Section 7).

3. How we use your information

• To provide the funds.je platform and its features.
• To forward RFP briefs to the service providers you select.
• To send job alert emails you have subscribed to.
• To respond to contact form enquiries.

• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal bases for processing (UK/Jersey GDPR)

• Legitimate interests: platform improvement, security, fraud prevention.
• Consent: job alert emails (you may withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Unsubscribe" in any alert email).
• Legal obligation: complying with applicable Jersey and UK law.

5. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers you select: when you submit an RFP, your brief and contact details are forwarded to the providers you have chosen. Each provider receives the information as a data controller for their own purposes.
• Technology service providers: we use third-party services for hosting (20i, UK), email delivery (Mailgun), and analytics (Matomo, self-hosted). These providers process data on our behalf under data processing agreements.
• Legal requirements: if required to do so by law or regulatory authority.

6. Data retention

• Account data: retained while your account is active and for 3 years after closure.
• RFP submissions: retained for 2 years for our records, then deleted.
• Server logs: retained for 90 days.
• Job alert subscriptions: retained until you unsubscribe.

7. Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies for platform functionality (session management, security). We do not use third-party advertising cookies. Analytics are conducted using self-hosted Matomo, which does not share data with third parties.

8. Your rights

Under Jersey and UK data protection law you have the right to:

• Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Erase your data (subject to legal retention requirements).
• Restrict or object to processing.
• Data portability.
