1. Introduction
We are committed to protecting the privacy of our donors, event participants, and website visitors. This Policy describes our privacy practices and your choices regarding your information. By using our website or submitting information through our forms, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
- Contact information: name, email address, mobile/phone number, and mailing address;
- Donation and payment information: donor name, email, optional phone number, donation amount, designated fund/campaign, and recurring donation preferences (payment card details are collected and processed by our third-party payment platform, not stored directly by Al Salam Foundation);
- Event information: information you provide when registering for or inquiring about an Al Salam Foundation event or program;
- Communications: information you submit through our contact form (name, email, and message); and
- Technical information: standard information collected automatically when you visit our website, such as browser type and general usage data (see “Cookies and Analytics” below).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Process donations and other payments, including recurring donations;
- Communicate with you about events, programs, and fundraising campaigns;
- Send you email or text communications you have requested or consented to receive;
- Respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form;
- Maintain, operate, and improve our website and services; and
- Comply with applicable legal and recordkeeping obligations.
4. Donations and Payments
When you make a donation through our website, by text-to-give, or through a linked third-party giving platform, your payment card information is collected and processed directly by that third-party payment platform; Al Salam Foundation does not store your full payment card details. We retain records of your donation (such as your name, email, amount, designated fund, and date) for recordkeeping, acknowledgment, and reporting purposes.
5. Communications — Email, SMS, and Text-to-Give
If you provide your email address, we may use it to send you announcements, event information, and fundraising updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email.
If you use our text-to-give feature or otherwise opt in to receive text messages, we (through a third-party SMS/text-messaging platform provider) may send you text messages about donation confirmations, announcements, and event information. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP at any time to stop receiving messages, or HELP for assistance. Your mobile number and messaging preferences are used only for this purpose and are not sold to third parties.
6. Third-Party Services and Widgets
Our website uses or links to third-party services, including a prayer-time widget, an online giving/payment platform, and the Islamic Life Center (ILC) project website. When you interact with these third-party services, their own privacy practices apply, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
7. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Third-party service providers who process forms, payments, and SMS/email communications on our behalf, solely to provide those services to Al Salam Foundation;
- Professional advisors (such as accountants) as needed for recordkeeping and compliance; and
- Government authorities or other parties, where required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Al Salam Foundation, our community, or others.
8. Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly and to understand how visitors use our site. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may:
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you;
- Unsubscribe from email communications at any time using the link in each email;
- Reply STOP to any SMS message to opt out of future text messages; and

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
12. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites and platforms, including our online giving platform, prayer-time widget, and the Islamic Life Center (ILC) project website.
