This page describes what the site stores and sends, and what it does not.

Reading the site

The site loads no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts of its own. The reading time shown on an entry is worked out on the server from the text of the page, and nothing about your visit is sent anywhere to do it.

The typefaces, including the face used for Qur’anic verses, are served from this site. Your browser does not contact a font service to display a page.

The images shown when a page is shared are generated on this site from the page’s own text.

Like almost every website, the server that hosts the site may keep standard technical logs of the requests it receives, such as the address a request came from and the page that was asked for. Those logs are kept by the hosting service for running and protecting the server, and the theme does not read or use them.

Sharing

The share buttons are plain links. Nothing loads from WhatsApp, Telegram or any other service until you choose one, and choosing one opens that service, which then handles what you send under its own terms. The copy-link button uses your own browser’s clipboard. No one is told that you shared a page.

Searching

Searches run on this site. The site sends your search to no other service, and search results are kept out of search engines.

The contact form

The form on the Contact page asks for a message, and, if you choose to give them, your name and an email address. When you send it, those three things are sent by email to the people who run the site, through the site’s own mail service. If you gave an email address, it is set as the address a reply goes to. Nothing you write in the form is saved on the site, and once it is sent the message is held in the receiving mailbox like any other email.

To stop the form being used to send messages in bulk, the site keeps a count of messages from each connection for one hour. The count is filed under a scrambled, one-way code made from your connection’s address, not under the address itself, and it is discarded after the hour. The form also carries a hidden field that people never see and automated senders tend to fill in, and a security token that expires. Neither sets a cookie or records anything about you.

Comments

Where comments are open, WordPress stores the name, email address and comment you submit, and by default your IP address and browser details, to help detect spam. Your email address is never shown. WordPress may display an avatar next to a comment, and its default avatars are fetched from Gravatar, an outside service, using a scrambled form of the email address.

Cookies

The site sets no cookies for readers. WordPress sets cookies for people who log in, and remembers a commenter’s name and email in a cookie only when the commenter asks it to. The contact form sets none.

Search engine plugin

The theme is built to work with Rank Math, a search engine plugin, where it is installed. Rank Math writes the page titles, descriptions and structured data that search engines read, which involves nothing about you. Some of its optional modules can connect the site to Google services, and one can add Google Analytics to the pages. Where such a module is switched on, that connection runs under Google’s terms.
