We will use all the information provided to build a profile of you to be used in delivering our services such as marketing our appeals, updating you on our activities, processing your donations or responding to any queries.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary, including maintaining appropriate policies, procedures and security features, to ensure that your data is treated securely, protected from unauthorised and unlawful access and use, and handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Website Visitors

We use Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns on our website. This information is processed in a way which does not identify our visitors, and we do not make, or allow Google to make, any attempt to discover the identities of those visiting our website. If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics, Google provides a browser add-on that allows a user to opt-out of receiving Google Analytics cookies.

If we do wish to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will make this clear and will explain what we intend to do with the data we collect.

Cookies

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.

Abu Zahra Foundation uses cookies to store anonymous information about you and your online browsing activities. We may collect information about your computer, including, where available, your IP address, geographic location (if you allow when prompted by your browser), operating system and browser type, for system administration when you access our website. Data stored in this way is not personally identifiable. We do this to understand how our visitors use our website and to ensure the best possible user experience. We advise those wishing to control this to do so in the web browser they are using. Find more information about this here.

Abu Zahra Foundation may sometimes contain links to other third-party websites and uses social media features. These features may collect information about your IP address and which page you are visiting on our website, and they may set a cookie to make sure the feature functions properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. We also maintain presences on social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. These sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy, and if you have questions about how a site uses your information, you will need to check that site’s privacy statement.
