DeenSeed ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website and related online services at deenseed.com and associated properties (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our Services or interact with us, including in educational contexts such as programs offered to students.
1. Who we are
DeenSeed provides Islamic educational content, community resources, and related offerings. Our contact details for privacy inquiries are listed in Section 12 below.
2. Information we may collect
Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect categories of information such as:
- Contact and account information, for example your name, email address, phone number, or country, when you contact us, register for an account, subscribe to updates, or book classes or trials.
- Communications content, including messages you send us by email, contact forms, WhatsApp, or similar channels.
- Usage and technical data, such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, general location derived from IP, pages viewed, referring URLs, and timestamps. This may be collected through cookies and similar technologies as described in Section 6.
- Educational context, where applicable, information needed to deliver classes or student programs (for example age band, guardian contact for minors, or learning preferences), always limited to what is necessary for the service you requested.
3. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and improve the Services and our educational offerings;
- Respond to inquiries, support requests, and administrative communications;
- Send service-related notices and, where permitted, marketing communications (you may opt out of marketing);
- Maintain security, prevent fraud, and enforce our terms;
- Comply with legal obligations and defend our legal rights; and
- Analyze usage in aggregate or de-identified form to understand how our Services are used.
4. Legal bases (where applicable)
If data protection laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on appropriate legal bases including: your consent where required; performance of a contract with you; our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Services (balanced against your rights); and compliance with legal obligations.
5. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who assist us (for example hosting, analytics, email delivery, or customer support), subject to confidentiality and processing terms;
- Professional advisors where necessary (for example lawyers or auditors);
- Authorities when required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of users or the public; and
- Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice as required by law.
Third-party platforms (for example WhatsApp, Meta, Google, or Microsoft) have their own privacy policies governing data processed on their services when you choose to use them to reach us or join programs they host.
6. Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, maintain sessions, measure traffic, and improve the Services. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect functionality.
7. Children and students
Our Services may include content and programs suitable for families and students. If we collect personal information from children under 13 (or the age required in your jurisdiction), we do so only where permitted by law and, where required, with verifiable parental or school consent. Parents, guardians, or authorized school officials who believe we have collected information from a child without appropriate consent should contact us using the details in Section 12.
For school-directed educational programs, we may process student information as instructed by the educational institution and in accordance with applicable student privacy laws, including providing required notices and choices where applicable.
8. Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods depend on the nature of the data and legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
9. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. International transfers
DeenSeed is based in the United States. If you access the Services from other regions, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where we or our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
11. Your rights and choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, to object to certain processing, to data portability, or to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under state privacy laws; we will honor applicable requests as required by law.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the "Last updated" date. For material changes, we may provide additional notice as appropriate.
