Who We Are

Our website address is https://sakinahcare.org. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

Additionally, an anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can review the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images posted on the site.

Cookies

How We Use Cookies

• If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
• When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
• If you log in, we use cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences:
  • Login cookies last for two days.
  • Screen preferences cookies last for one year.
  • If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
• If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser, containing only the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles) from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the originating website, meaning that these external sites may:

• Collect data about you.
• Use cookies.
• Embed third-party tracking tools.
• Monitor your interactions with the embedded content (including tracking your activity if you are logged in to that website).

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these external sites for more details on their data collection practices.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

How Long We Retain Your Data

• If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve future comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
• For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request:

• An exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
• Deletion of any personal data we hold, except data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make a request, please contact us through our support channels.

Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service to protect the integrity of our site.
