Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Iqra Wartqi, we are guided by the noble principles of Islam in all our practices, including how we handle your personal information. The Quran teaches us: "O you who believe! Fulfill your contracts" (Al-Ma'idah 5:1), and we honor this divine guidance by treating your personal data as an amanah (trust) that has been placed in our care.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock" (Sahih al-Bukhari). We take this responsibility seriously in protecting your privacy and safeguarding the information you entrust to us.

Information We Collect

In accordance with the principle of taking only what is necessary, we collect minimal information required to serve you effectively:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, and phone number for account creation and communication
• Payment Information: Secure payment details processed through trusted payment gateways for course enrollment
• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our platform to improve your learning experience

How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely for the purposes of:

• Course enrollment and management
• Educational communication and support
• Course updates, reminders, and important announcements via email/SMS
• Improving our platform and services
• Processing secure payments through encrypted gateways

Sponsorship and Data Sharing

In cases where your course is sponsored by a third party:

• Sponsor Information to Students: We may share sponsor contact details and information with sponsored students, but only with the sponsor's explicit written consent
• Student Data Protection: We maintain absolute confidentiality regarding student personal information and never share student data with sponsors under any circumstances, even with consent
• One-Way Information Flow: Information sharing, when it occurs, flows only from sponsor to student, never in reverse

This policy reflects our commitment to protecting student privacy as the ultimate amanah while facilitating beneficial sponsorship relationships.

Your Data as Amanah (Sacred Trust)

Following Islamic principles of trustworthiness, we pledge:

• Complete Confidentiality: Your personal data will never be shared, sold, or released to third parties without your explicit consent, except for secure payment processing, sponsor information sharing as outlined above, and legal compliance requirements
• Student Privacy Absolute: Student personal information is never shared with sponsors, regardless of consent or sponsorship arrangements
• Legal Compliance: We may be required to share data with legal authorities when mandated by law, court orders, or regulatory requirements. However, we will seek your consent whenever the situation legally permits and will only share the minimum information necessary
• Honesty and Transparency: We will always be clear about how we use your information
• Accountability: We take full responsibility for protecting the trust you place in us

As Allah says in the Quran: "Indeed, Allah orders you to render trusts to whom they are due" (An-Nisa 4:58).

Legal Requirements and Compliance

While we uphold the Islamic principle of protecting trusts, we also recognize our obligation to lawful authority as commanded in the Quran: "O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you" (An-Nisa 4:59).

In rare circumstances, we may be legally required to share personal information with:

• Law enforcement agencies
• Courts and judicial authorities
• Regulatory bodies
• Government agencies

Our Commitment in Such Cases:

• We will seek your consent whenever legally permissible
• We will share only the minimum information required by law
• We will notify you of such requests unless prohibited by law
• We will challenge any requests we believe to be excessive or inappropriate

Such disclosures will only occur when we have a good faith belief that it is necessary to comply with applicable laws or legal processes.

Data Security and Protection

We implement robust security measures to protect your amanah:

• SSL Encryption: All data transmission is secured with industry-standard SSL encryption
• Secure Storage: Your information is stored on protected servers with restricted access
• Payment Security: All financial transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment gateways
• Regular Security Updates: Our systems are continuously updated to maintain the highest security standards

• Access your personal data at any time
• Correct any inaccurate information
• Delete your account and all associated data upon request
• Withdraw consent for data processing
• Request data portability in a commonly used format
