At Baitul Arqam (https://baitularqam.com), we are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting any personal information you share with us. Our website is dedicated to spreading authentic Islamic knowledge through blog posts, articles, and educational content about Islam and Islamic studies.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our site.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://baitularqam.com
We are an Islamic blog focused on providing beneficial knowledge and resources for Muslims and those interested in learning about Islam.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our posts, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help prevent spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may be able to download and extract location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
We also use cookies for login functionality, display preferences, and editing content. These cookies do not store personal data beyond what’s necessary to enable core site functions.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some articles may include embedded content (like videos, images, or other posts). This embedded content behaves just as if you visited the original site and may collect your data, use cookies, or track your interaction — especially if you’re logged into that third-party site.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For users who register (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information (except usernames). Website administrators can also manage this data.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of your personal data. You may also ask us to delete any personal data we hold, excluding any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Final Note
At Baitul Arqam, we strive to maintain a respectful and secure online space for learning about Islam. Your trust is important to us, and we handle your data with care in accordance with Islamic ethics and privacy standards.
