Privacy Policy

We collect only the data we need to run the website and respond to you. The categories are:

a. Website analytics

Data: aggregated usage data such as pages visited, the referring page, browser and device type, operating system, and approximate location. We do not use analytics to identify individual visitors.

Purpose: to understand how the website is used and to improve its performance and content.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the website, or your consent where the law requires it.

We use Vercel Web Analytics. It is cookieless and designed to collect aggregated, anonymized data. We do not use analytics data for advertising or to build profiles of individual visitors.

b. Contact by email

Data: your email address and any other information you send to us.

Purpose: to respond to your questions, requests, or concerns.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in providing support and communication.

c. Correction reports

Data: your name, email address, the page or text you are reporting, and the description of the issue you submit through our report form.

Purpose: to review the report, correct the content, and reply to you.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the website accurate and responding to reports. Where the law requires consent, we rely on your consent.

The report form is processed by Formspree and delivered to the Imam & Ilm maintainers. You can also email us directly.

You can also report a mistake using the contact form.

d. Technical and security data

Data: IP address, request details, and error logs generated by our hosting and infrastructure providers.

Purpose: to deliver the website, keep it secure, and diagnose problems.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating and securing our website.

e. Features we do not currently operate

We do not currently operate user accounts, volunteer application forms, or feedback forms that accept file attachments. If we add these features, we will update this policy before or when they go live.

We do not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

• Website analytics data: for the retention period of our analytics provider under our current plan, after which it is automatically deleted.
• Email correspondence: for as long as necessary to handle your request, and for a reasonable period afterwards for follow-up or record-keeping.
• Correction reports: until the report has been reviewed and resolved, and for a reasonable period afterwards for record-keeping, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
• Technical and security logs: for as long as necessary to keep the website secure and diagnose problems.
• We may keep data for longer where required or permitted by law.

If you withdraw consent, we will stop processing based on that consent unless we have another legal basis.

We do not sell your personal data.

We share data only with service providers that help us run the site: Vercel (hosting and analytics), Formspree (report form processing), and our email provider. These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own advertising.

Where required, we rely on appropriate data processing terms with these providers.

We may disclose data if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Imam & Ilm, our users, or others.

We do not share data with advertising networks.

Our service providers may process data outside your country of residence. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards required by applicable law, such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data from misuse, loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification. These measures include SSL/TLS connections and access controls on our systems.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If you believe your data is not secure, contact us.

We do not use advertising cookies.

We use one functional cookie named NEXT_LOCALE to remember your language preference. It is set by our localization middleware and is not used for analytics or advertising. It is a session cookie that normally expires when you close your browser.

We use browser local storage for display preferences: theme, Arabic font, text size, and which layers (Arabic, transliteration, translation) you choose to show. These settings stay on your device and are not sent to us.

Vercel Web Analytics is cookieless and does not use analytics cookies.

You can clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. If you block the locale cookie, the site may not remember your language preference; if you clear local storage, your display settings will reset.

If we introduce non-essential cookies, we will ask for consent where required by law.

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access: you can request access to the personal data we process about you.
• Right to rectification: you can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to erasure: you can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to restriction of processing: you can ask us to limit how we process your data.
• Right to data portability: you can request a structured, commonly used, machine-readable copy of the data you provided to us.
• Right to object: you can object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

To exercise these rights, email us at imamandilm@gmail.com.

We will respond as soon as possible and no later than one month. We may ask for information to verify your identity, and we will not ask for more than is necessary.

We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing.

If you believe we are handling your personal data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your country of residence. We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first.

The website is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

The website may link to external websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be published on this page, and the last updated date at the top of the page will be revised. We recommend that you review this page regularly.
