Privacy Policy

Effective Date: [October 26, 2025]

Assalāmu ‘Alaikum wa Rahmatullāhi wa Barakātuh,

At QuranAndSunnah.info, we are committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the trust of our students, visitors, and community members. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information in accordance with Islamic values and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

By using our website or registering for our courses, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect limited personal information that helps us provide our educational services and maintain effective communication. The types of information we may collect include:

  • Personal Details: Your name, email address, phone number, and country of residence.
  • Registration Information: Details you provide when signing up for courses or submitting contact forms.
  • Communication Records: Messages, feedback, or inquiries sent to us via email or our website forms.
  • Technical Data: Information such as IP address, browser type, and website usage analytics (collected anonymously).

We do not collect sensitive personal data unless voluntarily provided and necessary for specific purposes (e.g., age group for course assignment).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to serve you better and support your learning journey. Specifically, we may use it to:

  • Register you for courses or programs.
  • Provide access to learning materials and updates.
  • Respond to your inquiries and feedback.
  • Notify you of new courses or institute announcements (with your consent).

We will never use your personal information for commercial gain or marketing unrelated to our educational mission.

3. Respect for Your Privacy

In accordance with Islamic ethics, we uphold the principle of Amanah (trust) and treat your information with utmost confidentiality.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties unless:

  • Required by law or legal authority.
  • Necessary to protect the safety or rights of others.
  • Explicit consent has been provided by you.

Any data shared for essential services (such as hosting or email systems) is handled under confidentiality agreements.

4. Data Storage and Security

Our website is hosted on Hostinger, which provides the online platform that enables us to deliver courses and manage registrations.

Please note that Hostinger currently does not maintain data-hosting servers within Australia. All information collected through our website — including personal data such as names, emails, and messages — may therefore be stored on servers located in data centres outside Australia, including regions such as the European Union, United States, or Singapore, depending on Hostinger’s infrastructure and redundancy network.

Hostinger adheres to internationally recognised standards for data security and privacy protection. Data transmitted between your browser and our website is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. Hostinger employs multiple layers of protection, including firewalls, access controls, and continuous monitoring to safeguard against unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information, including the selection of reputable service providers, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the Internet. You acknowledge that any personal data you provide through the website may be transferred, processed, and stored outside Australia, subject to the privacy and data-protection laws of those jurisdictions.

For more information, you may wish to review Hostinger’s Privacy Policy and Data Processing Terms, available at: https://www.hostinger.com/legal/privacy-policy

5. Website Framework and Learning Management System

Our website is built using the WordPress content management framework and the Tutor LMS (Learning Management System) plugin. These platforms enable us to deliver online Qur’an and Sunnah courses, manage student registrations, and provide user-friendly access to learning materials.

Both WordPress and Tutor LMS may, as part of their normal operation, collect limited technical or usage data (such as IP addresses, browser types, or course progress) to improve functionality and ensure secure access. This data is processed according to their respective privacy and data-handling policies.

We take care to use only reputable, security-tested plugins and themes that comply with international web standards. However, since WordPress and Tutor LMS are third-party platforms, we are not responsible for any data collection, storage, or processing carried out independently by them.

6. Cookies and Website Analytics

We use data collection devices such as “cookies” on certain pages of our website to help analyze webpage traffic, understand visitor engagement, measure the effectiveness of our content, and maintain trust and security.

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. These files assist us in providing a smoother browsing experience and do not contain any personally identifiable information.

Cookies allow us to:

  • Recognize you as a returning visitor.
  • Save your login preferences so that you do not need to enter your password repeatedly during a session.
  • Improve the design, layout, and functionality of our website.
  • Present content that is more relevant to your learning interests.

Most cookies used on our website are “session cookies”, which automatically expire once you close your browser. However, some may be persistent cookies that remain stored for analytical or functional purposes, until deleted manually or by your browser settings.

You are always free to decline or delete our cookies if your browser allows. However, please note that disabling cookies may affect certain website functions — such as course login, registration forms, or saving progress — and you may need to re-enter your credentials more frequently during your session.

You can also manage or disable cookies through your individual browser settings. Please note that doing so may limit your access to certain features or functionalities of our website.

7. Accessing and Updating Your Information

You may request access to your personal information held by us, or ask for corrections if it is inaccurate or incomplete.

Requests can be made by emailing QuranAndSunnah.info@gmail.com.

We will respond to all legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe, in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.

8. Retention and Deletion of Information

We retain personal information only for as long as it is necessary to provide our services or as required by law.

When your data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.

You may also request deletion of your account and associated information at any time.

9. External Links

Our website may contain links to external Islamic learning platforms or resources.

Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

10. Children’s Privacy

We respect the privacy of young learners.

If a user under the age of 16 provides personal information, it should be with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian.

We do not knowingly collect data from children without appropriate consent.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect improvements or legal requirements.

The latest version will always be available on this page, and the “Effective Date” will indicate the most recent update.
