Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://jaynesbabybank.co.uk.

This site is operated by Sherlock, an independent investigative team presenting sourced evidence, transcripts, and public-interest commentary relating specifically to the ongoing investigation into Jayne’s Baby Bank — a business historically and publicly promoted under various labels including:

  • “Charity”

  • “CHARITY shop”

  • “Mother and Baby Bank”

  • “Food Bank”

  • “Foodbank Fundraising Shop”

Our investigation focuses on the public-facing claims, representations, and activities surrounding this operation, with particular attention to issues of regulatory compliance, financial transparency, and public accountability.

We do not operate as a business or charity, and we do not collect payments, donations, or financial contributions through this platform.

Comments

Visitors may leave comments using a name, email address, and text field. These entries are optional and not verified.

We do not confirm identities or verify email addresses. Anyone may submit a comment using any name or email. These are stored only as entered and are used solely for the purposes of displaying and moderating public comments.

We do not use Gravatar or connect comments to any third-party user profile services.

Media Uploads

This website does not allow visitors to upload media.

No public file, image, or document upload functionality exists. All images and videos published on this site are added solely by the site administrator as part of the ongoing investigation.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you do not need to re-enter the same information again. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page (admin-only), a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

This site has no user accounts, subscriptions, or public login features, so login and profile cookies apply only to site administrators.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles and investigative posts may include embedded content from other websites (e.g. videos, images, social media posts, or news articles). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the source website directly.

These third-party platforms may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content — especially if you’re logged into those services.

We do not control or store data collected by third-party platforms.

Who we share your data with

We do not share any visitor data with third parties.

There is no registration, no user database, and no email verification. Any name or email address entered into the comment form is stored exactly as submitted and not processed, sold, or linked to any external system.

The only time data may be accessed is:

  • Internally, for moderation or technical review by the site administrator;

  • Or in the event of a legal request (e.g. court order or formal complaint concerning abuse, defamation, or misuse of the platform).

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise follow-up comments automatically and to preserve the historical record of user discussions connected to published content.

We do not collect or retain any other personal data from visitors.

What rights you have over your data

If you have submitted a comment, you may request an exported file of the comment-related data you provided. You may also request deletion of your comment(s), unless we are required to retain them for moderation or legal purposes.
