This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use tazkiyahtarbiyah.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to this Policy.

1) What information we collect

Information you provide to us

• Contact forms / email: name, email address, message content, and any other details you provide.

• Newsletter / subscriptions (optional): name, email, and preferences.

• Comments (if enabled): name, email, comment text; if you upload images, they may include EXIF GPS data.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data & device info: IP address, browser type/version, pages viewed, time on page, referrer, approximate location (city/country level), and other diagnostic data.

• Cookies & similar tech: used for essentials (security, load balancing/cache), preferences, analytics, and embedded content.

Information from third parties

• Embedded content (YouTube, X/Twitter, Facebook, etc.): When you view or interact with embedded media on our pages, those third parties may collect data per their own policies.

2) How we use your information

• To operate, maintain, and secure the Site (including caching and performance).

• To respond to inquiries and provide support.

• To send updates or newsletters you asked for (you can unsubscribe anytime).

• To analyze and improve content, usability, and performance.

• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Legal bases (EEA/UK): consent (e.g., newsletter, non-essential cookies); contract (to deliver requested content/services); legitimate interests (security, analytics, preventing abuse); legal obligation (record-keeping, compliance).

3) Cookies & tracking

We use:

• Strictly necessary cookies for security, load-balancing, and core WP functions (e.g., wordpress_*, wp-settings-*, wp-test-cookie, LiteSpeed/LSCache cookies).

• Functional cookies to remember preferences (e.g., language, theme).

• Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics or similar) to understand how the Site is used.

• Embedded/third-party cookies from platforms such as YouTube (including youtube-nocookie.com which still may set cookies after you press play) and social networks.

Manage cookies: You can control cookies in your browser settings and delete existing cookies. If you block some cookies, parts of the Site may not work.

If you use Google Analytics 4: we configure IP masking and aggregate reporting where possible. You can opt out via your browser’s privacy settings or add-ons.

4) Analytics (optional details)

We may use Google Analytics or a similar privacy-centric analytics tool to collect anonymized usage statistics (page views, referrers, device types). This data helps us improve the Site.

• Data retention (analytics): typically 26 months (or shorter if configured).

• You can opt out via browser settings or tracking-protection tools.

5) Embedded media (YouTube and others)

Pages on this Site may include embedded videos or posts. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those websites directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content (including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that service).

• For YouTube embeds, we use the privacy-enhanced domain where possible, but YouTube may still set cookies once you interact with the player.

6) How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with:

• Service providers/Processors: hosting, security, CDN, caching, email delivery, analytics, error-logging—only as needed to run the Site.

• Legal & safety: to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights, security, and property.

• Business changes: if our operations change (e.g., reorganization), information may transfer as part of that process.

7) International transfers

Our servers or service providers may be located outside your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) to protect personal data transferred internationally.

8) Data retention

• Contact inquiries: typically 24 months after last contact (unless we need to keep them longer for legal reasons).

• Comments (if enabled): kept indefinitely to show comment history, unless you request deletion (subject to legal limits).

• Newsletter emails: kept until you unsubscribe or your email bounces.

• Server logs & security events: typically 30–180 days (varies by provider).

• Cache (LiteSpeed/other): typically 1–14 days.

We keep data only as long as necessary for the purposes described or to meet legal obligations.

9) Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.

• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

• Delete your data (subject to legal exceptions).

• Object to or restrict certain processing.

• Withdraw consent at any time (this won’t affect past processing).

• Data portability (get a copy in a machine-readable format), where applicable.

To exercise rights, contact us at [info@tazkiyahtarbiyah.com]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
