This privacy policy explains how Muslims Life handles personal information when you visit Muslims-Life.net, contact us, or choose to allow optional website technologies such as analytics.
We aim to collect as little personal information as reasonably necessary to operate and improve the website. This policy should be read together with our Cookie Policy and Terms of Use.
Who is responsible for your data?
For information collected through this website, Muslims Life is responsible for deciding how that information is used.

What personal information may we collect?
Information you choose to send us
If you contact us by email, we may receive your name, email address, the contents of your message and any other information you choose to include.
Technical and security information
Like most websites, our hosting and security systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, timestamps and server logs. This can be necessary to deliver the website, maintain security, investigate faults and prevent abuse.
Analytics information, only where enabled
If you consent to analytics, we may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the website. Depending on the tools enabled at the time, this can include pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser information, referral source and interactions with the website.
We use a consent mechanism so that optional analytics are disabled by default until you choose to allow them. You can change your choice at any time using the control in the footer.
External media
Some older Muslims Life pages may contain video or other embedded content from third parties such as YouTube. We treat this as optional external media and may ask for your consent before loading it because the external provider can receive technical information about your visit.
Why do we use personal information?
Depending on the situation, we may process information to:
- deliver the website and keep it secure;
- respond to messages, corrections and enquiries;
- understand website performance and improve content where you have consented to analytics;
- prevent spam, fraud, misuse or security incidents;
- comply with legal obligations and establish or defend legal claims where necessary.
Our lawful bases
Under UK data protection law, we need a lawful basis when we process personal data. The basis depends on why the information is being used.
- Legitimate interests: operating, securing and improving the website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent: optional analytics, external media and any other processing for which we specifically ask for your permission.
- Legal obligation: where we need to retain or disclose information to comply with law.
Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before you withdrew it.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies or similar storage technologies for essential website functions and, if you allow them, optional analytics and external media. Full details are available in our Cookie Policy.
Who may receive your information?
We do not sell personal information.
We may use service providers that help us operate the website, such as website hosting, security, analytics or content-delivery providers. They may process limited information on our behalf or as independent controllers depending on the service.
Where enabled, Google services such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager or related website measurement tools may process information after you consent to analytics. External media providers such as YouTube may receive information if you choose to load their content.
International transfers
Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, the relevant provider is expected to use an approved transfer mechanism or another lawful safeguard. Provider privacy terms can change, so we keep our use of optional services under review.
How long do we keep information?
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including security, correspondence and legal requirements.
Routine server and security logs are normally retained for a limited operational period determined by our hosting or security provider. Email correspondence may be retained for longer when it forms part of an ongoing enquiry, correction record or legitimate business record.
Your website consent preference is stored for a limited period so that we can remember your choice. You can reset it at any time through Cookie settings.
Your UK data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including:
- the right to be informed about how your information is used;
- the right to access personal information we hold about you;
- the right to ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
- the right to ask for information to be erased in certain circumstances;
- the right to restrict processing in certain circumstances;
- the right to object to certain processing;
- the right to data portability where it applies;
- the right to withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis.
To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
Complaints
If you have a concern about how we use personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it.
You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Visit ico.org.uk for current complaint information.
Children
Muslims Life is a general educational and reminder website. We do not intentionally ask children to submit sensitive personal information. If you believe a child has provided personal information that should be removed, contact us.
Links to other websites
Our articles may link to Qur’an, hadith, social media, video and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are controlled by those providers, not by Muslims Life. We recommend reading their privacy information when you use those services.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our website, services or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows the latest version.
