Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to FaraidHub ("FaraidHub", "we", "our" or "us"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices you have regarding your personal information when you visit faraidhub.com or use any of our calculators, tools, articles, or services (collectively, the "Site").

By using this Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

FaraidHub has been designed with privacy in mind. Most of our tools perform calculations entirely within your web browser. Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect the following categories of information.

Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide information when you use our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter. Both are processed by Formspree, our third-party form-processing provider — your name, email address and any message you include are submitted directly to Formspree and forwarded to us. We use this information only to respond to your enquiry or send the updates you signed up for.

Calculator Information

Our Islamic Inheritance Calculator and Islamic Will Generator run entirely in your browser. The personal, financial and family details you enter — heir names, estate values, debts, Mahr amounts and similar — are never transmitted to our servers, never stored by us, and cannot be seen by our team. Your calculations stay on your own device.

The Zakat Calculator works the same way, with one exception: to estimate the current value of gold and silver, it fetches live spot prices from a public market-data API. This is a one-way request for public pricing data — none of your personal or financial information is sent as part of it.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we automatically collect limited technical information, including:

• Browser type and version, device type, and operating system
• IP address (processed in accordance with our analytics settings)
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website
• Country or general geographic region
• Anonymous usage statistics, error reports and performance information

This information helps us understand how visitors use the Site and allows us to improve performance, usability and content.

3. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, session duration, device information, general location, and website interactions. Where available, Google Analytics IP anonymisation and privacy controls are enabled.

For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy. You may opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function properly. FaraidHub uses only analytics cookies set by Google Analytics, to measure website traffic and maintain essential website features. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies, and we do not use cookies to sell your personal information or build advertising profiles.

Most browsers allow you to disable or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

5. How We Use Your Information

Where we collect information, we use it to:

• Operate and maintain the Site
• Respond to enquiries
• Improve our calculators and educational content
• Analyse website usage
• Detect technical issues
• Prevent abuse or misuse of the Site
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We share limited information only with the service providers who help us run the Site:

• Formspree — processes contact form and newsletter submissions
• Google Analytics — processes anonymised usage data
• Our website hosting provider — stores the Site's files and serves pages to visitors

These providers process information only to perform services on our behalf and are required to protect your information. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards to protect information under our control. However, no method of transmitting data over the Internet or storing electronic information can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

Because contact and newsletter messages are handled by Formspree and calculator data never leaves your browser, we hold very little personal information ourselves. What we do hold, we retain only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry, provide a requested service, meet legal, accounting or regulatory obligations, or resolve disputes.

9. Children's Privacy

FaraidHub is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our Site, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

10. Third-Party Websites

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites for your convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, including under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR, or other applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of personal information
• Object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Because FaraidHub does not normally store calculator data, the amount of personal information we hold is generally limited. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at admin@faraidhub.com.

12. International Visitors

FaraidHub is operated from South Africa. If you access the Site from another country, your information may be processed in South Africa or in other countries where our service providers operate — including the United States, where Formspree and Google Analytics are based — subject to appropriate safeguards where required by law.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical or operational changes. Any revisions will be published on this page together with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

14. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we process personal information, please contact us at admin@faraidhub.com or via our contact form.
