Privacy Policy for the Islamic Center of Williamson County (ICWC)

Last Updated: Apr 24, 2026

1. Introduction

The Islamic Center of Williamson County (“ICWC,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the data of our community members, donors, and website visitors when you interact with icwctn.org.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two primary ways: information you voluntarily provide to us and information collected automatically by our website infrastructure.

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide When you interact with our website, you may provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. This occurs when you:

  • Submit inquiries via our contact forms.

  • Register for classes, religious services, or community events.

  • Sign up for our email newsletters.

  • Make a charitable donation.

B. Automatically Collected Information To ensure our website functions securely and efficiently, our servers and software plugins automatically collect certain technical data, including:

  • Your IP address and browser type.

  • Pages visited and the date/time of access.

  • Cookie identifiers used for site caching and performance optimization.

3. Mobile Application Specifics

In addition to the information collected on our website, the ICWC mobile application may collect the following data to provide specific app features:

  • Location Data: The app requests access to your device’s location services (GPS) solely for the purpose of calculating the accurate Qibla direction and local prayer times. This location data is processed locally on your device in real-time. We do not track your movements, nor is your location data transmitted to, or stored on, our servers.

  • App Analytics and Crash Reports: To improve the stability and performance of our app, we use third-party diagnostic tools (such as Sentry and PostHog) to collect anonymous crash logs and basic app usage analytics. This data helps us identify bugs and improve the user experience, and it does not contain personally identifiable information.

4. Donations and Payment Processing

ICWC is a tax-exempt organization, and we rely on the generous support of our community. To ensure the highest level of financial security:

  • Third-Party Processing: All online donations and payments are routed through our secure, third-party payment processor, MadinaApps.

  • No Local Storage: When you initiate a donation, you are redirected to a secure hosted payment page. ICWC does not process, transmit, or store sensitive cardholder data (such as full credit card numbers or CVV codes) on our local website servers.

  • Transaction Records: We only retain high-level transaction metadata (name, donation amount, date, and designated fund) for tax-receipting and internal accounting purposes.

5. How We Use Your Information

We process your personal data based on your consent and our legitimate organizational interests to:

  • Provide requested services and process event registrations.

  • Process donations and issue end-of-year tax receipts.

  • Respond to your contact inquiries and provide community support.

  • Send organizational updates and newsletters (you may opt out at any time).

  • Improve website functionality and maintain server security.

6. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for commercial marketing. We will only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With trusted partners (like MadinaApps) who require specific data to process transactions securely.

  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or governmental regulations to protect the rights, property, or safety of ICWC and our community.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses “cookies”—small text files stored on your device—to enhance your user experience, manage site caching, and analyze traffic.

  • You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Consent banner located on our website.

  • Disabling strictly necessary cookies in your browser settings may prevent certain features of our site (such as event registrations) from functioning properly.

8. Data Security and Retention

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, including SSL encryption and regular encrypted database backups. We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required to comply with financial, legal, and accounting regulations.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you.

  • Request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

  • Request the deletion of your personal data from our active databases.

  • Withdraw your consent for future email communications.
