Privacy Statement of Islamic Relief Worldwide
Islamic Relief Worldwide is an
independent non-governmental organisation dedicated to alleviating the poverty
and suffering of the world's poorest people. Working in over 20 countries
worldwide, we help people regardless of race, gender or religion. Our
activities and those of our subsidiaries and partners range from raising
awareness and funds to actively implementing and managing emergency and
development programmes.
Modern information and communication technology play a fundamental role in the
activities of an organisation like Islamic Relief Worldwide.
Although you can access our home page and browse our site without disclosing your
personal data, there are some services which require you to disclose some
personal information. Islamic Relief Worldwide is committed to protecting your
privacy. This privacy statement covers how we will use your personal information
on our website www.islamic-relief.com
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Personal information is information about you that makes you personally
identifiable like your name, address, email address, phone number, or credit
card number and that is not otherwise publicly available.
We do not ask you to disclose personal information except when it is necessary
for you to take part in the activities or use services on our website. Examples
of such activities and services are our online donations service and email
notifications service. Any personal information you volunteer to give is used by
Islamic Relief exclusively to provide relevant online services.
We will make efforts to protect privacy in one or more of the following ways:
- Personal information about you is collected if only absolutely necessary. As
much as possible, we limit the number of times personal information is requested
online to help protect your privacy.
- Personal information will be deleted once it has been used for the purpose for
which it was collected except when we are legally obliged do otherwise by laws
and regulations.
- We have safeguards to protect your personal information and provide access only
to duly authorised employees if absolutely necessary (see Confidentiality
and Security section below)
Islamic Relief Worldwide has offices and partners in several countries. This
policy covers only
www.islamic-relief.com and not necessarily the websites of our partners, who
may have local laws and regulations for this purpose. We do not collect personal
information about our website visitors from other sources, such as public
records or bodies or private organisations.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who visit our
website. If you are under 16 please seek your parent's permission before using
this site and before providing any personal information on this site. The
internet can sometimes not be all it seems.
Services such as our website guestbook allow you to post information which can be
accessed publicly. When you use the guestbook, Islamic Relief will not publish
your email address details and may screen any information supplied.
Our website includes an opt-in email subscribe facility where you can elect to
receive email communications from us. We may use email to tell subscribers when
the website is changed, down or to tell you about new features or content on the
website.
Confidentiality and Security
We give you the option of using an industry standard secure transmission method
(such as SSL) to send us your primary personal information, credit card details
and passwords.
We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal
information about you. We have implemented security policies and technical
measures to protect the personal information we have under our control from
unauthorised access, improper use, unauthorised modification and unlawful
destruction or accidental loss. Your personal information is not shared with or
sold to any third parties for marketing purposes.
All employees and data processors, who have access to, and who are associated
with the processing of personal data are obliged to respect the confidentiality
of our visitors’ personal data. Where necessary, we limit access to all personal
information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into
contact with that information in order to provide products or services to you.
In most cases our website services will be automated, thereby greatly reducing
the need for employees or others to view your personal information. We ensure
that your personal information will not be disclosed to state institutions and
authorities except if required by law or other regulation.
Non-Personal Information
When visitors come to our site, we may automatically or via programming, collect
some non-personally identifiable information such as the type of computer
operating system (e.g., Windows '95 or Mac OS) and browser software you use.
Our Internet server also records the IP address and pages requested for anyone
who accesses the site.
This information may be used by Islamic Relief in a non-personally identifiable
way for the following purposes:
- Technical administration and development of the website
- Marketing statistical analysis
- Customer administration and support
We do not use cookies to store personal data and we do not link non-personal
information stored in cookies with personal data about specific individuals.
Content and Services from Other Websites
Some of the content and services offered from our website are provided by third
parties. Such third party websites and web service providers may collect
personal and non-personal information about you. These websites will have
their own privacy statements and practices governing the way they use your data.
Though we will make every effort to minimise the use of third-party service
providers, we cannot control or be held responsible for the content and services
on other websites.
Unless stated otherwise Islamic Relief Worldwide is not affiliated with external
web sites. Any links from external web sites do not constitute an endorsement
of that site by Islamic Relief Worldwide. Islamic Relief Worldwide is not
responsible for the content of external internet sites.
