Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Zakat Wise collects and uses your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. This policy explains what information we gather, how we use it, and the rights you have regarding your personal data.

Information We Collect

We collect information in several ways to provide and improve our services. When you register on our platform, we gather personal details such as your name, email address, and phone number. This information helps us communicate with you and provide personalized Islamic financial planning guidance.

We also collect usage data through cookies and similar tracking technologies. This includes information about how you navigate our website, which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and which links you click. This data helps us understand user behavior and optimize our content about zakat calculations, sadaqah principles, and waqf participation options.

If you contact us directly, we collect the information you provide in your message, including your inquiry about zakat fitrah, zakat harta, or integrating Islamic obligations into household budgets.

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to deliver our core services, including providing Islamic financial planning resources, zakat calculation tools, and sadaqah guidance tailored to Malaysia’s context. Your data enables us to personalize your experience and offer relevant information about waqf participation and Islamic financial obligations.

We also use your information to improve our website and services. By analyzing usage patterns, we identify which sections about Islamic financial planning are most valuable and where we can enhance our content. This helps us better serve users interested in zakat Malaysia, Islamic financial planning integration, and household budget management.

Additionally, we may use your contact information to send you updates about new features, educational content about Islamic financial principles, and important information about our services. You can opt out of these communications at any time.

Your Privacy Rights

You have several rights regarding your personal data. You can request access to any information we hold about you at any time. If you believe your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request corrections. You also have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal obligations.

You can withdraw your consent for us to process your data at any time. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We will respond to your request within thirty days.

You also have the right to data portability, meaning we can provide your information in a structured, commonly used format. Additionally, you may object to certain types of data processing, particularly for marketing communications about Islamic financial planning resources.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and understand how you interact with our content about zakat, sadaqah, and Islamic financial planning. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and improve website functionality.

We use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a longer period. These help us track your journey through our site and provide personalized content about zakat calculations and Islamic financial obligations.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to disable cookies, though this may limit some website features. We also respect “Do Not Track” signals from your browser, though we cannot guarantee all third-party services will honor this preference.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Your data is encrypted during transmission using SSL technology, and we maintain secure servers with restricted access.

However, no security system is completely impenetrable. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any passwords or login credentials you use to access our services.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. For most users, we keep account data for as long as your account remains active. If you close your account, we delete your personal information within ninety days, except where we are legally required to retain it.

Usage data and cookies are typically retained for twelve months unless you delete them sooner through your browser settings. If you request deletion of your data, we will remove it within the specified timeframe unless legal obligations require us to maintain records.

Third-Party Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and services that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy applies only to our website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

We may use third-party analytics services to understand how users interact with our content about Islamic financial planning. These services may collect information about your browsing habits, but they are bound by their own privacy agreements and are not permitted to use your data for other purposes.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of our website following changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

For significant changes that substantially affect your rights or our data practices, we may provide additional notice, such as a prominent announcement on our website or direct communication to your registered email address. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
