This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use SalafAlSalih.com, why it is collected, how it may be used or disclosed, and the choices available to you.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through SalafAlSalih.com, including information submitted through forms, subscriptions, correspondence, feedback, correction requests, and similar website features.

It does not govern the independent privacy practices of third-party websites, platforms, or services that may be linked to or embedded within the website.

  • information submitted through a contact form;

You are not required to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary for your request.

Please do not send confidential, highly sensitive, financial, medical, identification, password, or other unnecessary personal information through general website forms.

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you access a website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by the website, its hosting infrastructure, security services, analytics services, or other technical providers.

Depending upon the website configuration, this may include:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) address;

  • device type;

  • operating system;

  • approximate geographic or regional information derived from technical data;

  • date and time of access;

  • pages viewed;

  • cookie or similar technical identifiers.

This information may be used for website operation, security, fraud or abuse prevention, analytics, troubleshooting, and improvement.

  • comply with applicable legal obligations; and

  • protect the website, its users, or the rights of others.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers.

5. Email Subscriptions and Communications

If you voluntarily subscribe to email updates, the email address and related subscription information may be used to provide the communications you requested.

You may unsubscribe by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in applicable emails.

Unsubscribing from optional communications does not necessarily prevent administrative communications that may be necessary to respond to a request you initiated.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

SalafAlSalih.com may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for website operation, security, preferences, analytics, performance, or other permitted functions.

A cookie is a small piece of information stored through a user's browser or device that can allow a website or service to remember information about a visit.

Cookies may include:

Essential cookies - required for technical operation, security, forms, consent preferences, or similar functions.

Analytics or performance cookies - used to understand aggregate website use and improve performance or usability.

Functional cookies - used to remember certain settings or provide additional website functions.

Third-party cookies or technologies - which may be associated with embedded media, external services, analytics providers, or other third-party features.

Where a consent mechanism is provided, you may use it to manage applicable non-essential cookie preferences.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect the operation of certain website features.

7. Hosting and Service Providers

SalafAlSalih.com is built and hosted using third-party technology and infrastructure, including Wix services.

We may also rely upon service providers for functions such as:

  • hosting and content delivery;

  • website security;

  • database or form processing;

  • email or subscription delivery;

  • analytics;

  • embedded audio or video;

  • search or technical functionality; and

  • other website operations.

These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services and are subject to their own contractual obligations, terms, and privacy practices.

8. Third-Party Content and Embedded Services

Some pages may contain content supplied or delivered through third parties, such as audio players, video players, APIs, external documents, or links.

When you interact with third-party content, the third-party provider may receive technical or personal information according to its own systems and privacy policy.

SalafAlSalih.com does not control the independent privacy practices of those providers.

You should review the privacy information supplied by a third party if you wish to understand how that provider processes information.

9. Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website or provide a requested service.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary:

  • to comply with applicable law, court orders, or lawful government requests;

  • to investigate security incidents or unlawful activity;

  • to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of the website or others; or

  • in connection with a legitimate transfer or reorganization of website operations, subject to applicable law.

We do not disclose personal information merely for unrelated third-party advertising purposes.

10. Processing Outside Your Jurisdiction

The internet and modern hosting services operate across multiple jurisdictions.

Website providers or service providers may process or store information outside Ontario or outside Canada. When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws and lawful-access requirements of that jurisdiction.

We seek to use reputable providers and reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information involved.

11. Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate administrative or security purposes, or as required by applicable law.

For example:

  • subscription information may be retained while a subscription remains active;

  • correspondence may be retained for a reasonable period to respond to or document an enquiry;

  • correction submissions may be retained where necessary to document source or editorial decisions; and

  • technical or security records may be retained for a reasonable period for operation and protection of the website.

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise disposed of where appropriate.

12. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the website and information involved.

Nevertheless, no website, network, storage system, or electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should therefore avoid transmitting unnecessary sensitive information through the website.

13. Children and Youth

SalafAlSalih.com contains educational material intended to benefit children, youth, parents, and educators.

However, general website forms, subscriptions, and direct communications are not intended to solicit unnecessary personal information directly from young children.

Parents and guardians should supervise a child's use of interactive website features and should avoid submitting unnecessary information identifying a child.

If we become aware that personal information has been submitted by a child in circumstances in which appropriate consent was required but was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to address or delete the information as appropriate.

14. Access, Correction and Withdrawal of Consent

Subject to applicable law and legitimate exceptions, you may contact us to:

  • ask whether we hold personal information about you;

  • request access to personal information that we hold about you;

  • request correction of inaccurate information;

  • withdraw consent to a use that depends upon consent; or

  • raise a privacy concern.

A withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that was already lawful and may make it impossible to provide a feature that depends upon the information concerned.

Requests may be submitted through the Contact Us page.

We may need reasonable information to verify that a request concerns the person making it.

15. External Websites

SalafAlSalih.com contains links to websites that we do not operate.

Once you leave SalafAlSalih.com, the collection and use of information is governed by the policies and practices of the external website or service.

A link from SalafAlSalih.com does not make us responsible for the privacy practices of the linked website.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when website functionality, service providers, privacy practices, or applicable requirements change.

The revised policy will be posted on this page and the "Last updated" date will be changed accordingly.

Material changes may also be communicated through other reasonable means where appropriate.

17. Questions or Privacy Requests
