Privacy Policy

1.Introduction

Darus Sunnah Academy (the “Academy”, “we”) treats the personal information of parents, students and website users as a trust. This policy explains in plain language what information may reach us when you use the website, how it is used, and what rights you have.

This policy applies only to this website. Documents and information submitted directly to the Academy are covered by its internal rules.

2.What information we collect

The website has three forms. At present none of them sends information directly to us — the contact and careers forms create a draft in your own browser, and the admission application (including photos and files) is stored in your own browser. Once the Academy’s online application system is live, submitted admission applications will reach the Academy directly; this policy will be updated then.

• Contact form: name, mobile number, email (optional), subject and message.
• Admission application: section and class; the student’s name, date of birth, gender, previous school, photo and birth certificate; the father’s and mother’s names, mobile, occupation, organization, designation, monthly income, NID, Facebook ID (father) and photos (optional); answers to the student, father and mother assessment questions; transport, residential status, address and comments.
• Careers application: name, mobile, email, position applied for, educational qualifications, experience, CV link and a short introduction.

This information reaches us only when you send the draft to us.

3.How information is used

The information you send is used only for the purpose you sent it for:

• replying to your question or message;
• running the admission process — checking eligibility, and communicating assessment schedules and results;
• shortlisting and contacting candidates in the hiring process;
• sharing necessary administrative information or notices.

We do not sell your information or use it for advertising.

4.Protecting students’ and children’s information

We take special care when collecting and publishing children’s information.

• Admission applications are made on the student’s behalf by their parent or guardian.
• We will obtain a parent’s consent before publishing any student’s photo on the website.
• We will avoid publishing photos in which children’s faces are identifiable as far as possible.
• Students’ results or personal information are not published on the website.

5.Storage and security

This website currently has no database or form server. Admission application data stays only in your own browser (on this device) — the unfinished application (without photos/files) and the submitted application; it is erased if you clear the browser’s site data. If you apply on a shared device, use “Clear and start over” when you’re done.

If you send a draft by email or WhatsApp, the information reaches us through that service, and that provider’s own policies also apply. Information that reaches us will be seen only by authorized staff as needed.

6.Third-party services

The website’s fonts, styles and scripts load from our own server. Other organizations’ services are used only in the following cases:

• Google Maps: On the Contact and Campus pages, Google’s map loads only when you press “Load map”.
• YouTube: In the gallery’s video section, thumbnails come from YouTube’s servers (i.ytimg.com); playing a video loads the player from youtube-nocookie.com.
• Social media & messaging: Clicking a Facebook, YouTube or WhatsApp link opens that service.
• Google Drive: In a careers application you provide a Drive link to your CV; the CV stays in your own Drive.

These services may receive some information about your device (such as your IP address) under their own policies. In addition, the server hosting the website may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and time of visit).

7.Cookies and browser storage

This website itself does not use any cookies, advertising or analytics tools.

• The ticks you make on the Admission page’s document checklist are kept only in your browser’s localStorage. They contain no personal information and are not sent to us.
• What you type in the contact and careers forms is not stored in the browser; the unfinished admission application and submitted applications are kept in the browser’s localStorage and IndexedDB (see section 5).
• You can clear this storage at any time from your browser settings.

If you load a map or video, Google/YouTube may use their own cookies.

8.Your rights

Regarding information you have sent us, you may request:

• to know what information of yours we hold;
• correction of wrong or outdated information;
• deletion of information — though this may be limited for the Academy’s necessary administrative records;
• withdrawal of consent given for publishing photos.

To make a request, see the contact section below. We may ask for some information to verify your identity.

9.Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when needed. Important changes will be announced on the Notices page, and the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change.
