Scope & who we are
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the official Jamia Binoria Aalamia website and related digital services operated or authorised by the Institution.
For the personal information we collect directly through these services, Jamia Binoria is responsible for deciding why and how that information is used, subject to applicable law and any third-party services involved.
Information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of information:
How we collect information
We may receive personal information directly from you when you complete a form, make a donation, contact us, apply for admission, sponsor a student, submit a question or use an official communication channel.
We may also receive limited information automatically through website technologies, hosting logs, security systems, analytics tools or embedded third-party services. In some cases, authorised service providers, banks, payment processors or institutional departments may provide information needed to complete a service or maintain records.
How we use your information
- To process, acknowledge and record donations, Zakat, Sadaqah, sponsorships and other contributions.
- To respond to enquiries, admission requests, academic correspondence, Darul Ifta questions and service requests.
- To issue receipts, maintain financial or administrative records and support audit or accountability processes.
- To manage student, sponsorship, welfare or institutional services where you have requested or participated in them.
- To send updates, appeals or newsletters where you have requested them or where permitted by applicable law.
- To secure our website, detect misuse, prevent fraud and maintain reliable digital services.
- To improve our website, communications and services through aggregated or limited usage information.
- To meet legal, regulatory, safeguarding, accounting or other legitimate institutional obligations.
Depending on the context and applicable law, our use of information may be based on your consent, the need to provide a requested service, legal obligations, protection of vital interests, or legitimate institutional purposes that do not override your rights.
Fatwa, counselling & sensitive information
Questions submitted to Darul Ifta, counselling, arbitration or similar services may contain highly personal information about family matters, religious questions, finances, health, disputes or other sensitive circumstances.
Donations & payment information
When you donate online or transfer funds, your bank, card network or payment service provider may process payment credentials and transaction information under its own privacy and security terms.
Jamia Binoria may receive transaction references, donor details, donation amount, payment status and other information needed for verification, receipts, accounting and donor communication. We generally do not need to receive or store complete card credentials to acknowledge a donation.
Cookies & digital services
Our website and embedded services may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, security, preferences, performance measurement or third-party content. Some third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with them.
Where consent is required by applicable law, non-essential technologies should be used only in accordance with the consent choices presented to you. You can also control many cookies through your browser settings, although disabling essential technologies may affect site functionality.
Sharing & service providers
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with trusted parties only where reasonably necessary, including:
- Banks, payment processors and financial service providers.
- Website hosting, security, analytics, email, messaging and communication service providers.
- Professional advisers, auditors or service partners working on authorised institutional functions.
- Government, regulatory or law-enforcement authorities where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety or security.
Service providers should receive only the information reasonably required for the relevant service and are expected to handle it appropriately.
International data transfers
Some technology, hosting, communications or payment providers may process information in countries outside Pakistan. Privacy protections can differ between countries.
Where applicable, we aim to use reputable providers and reasonable contractual, technical or organisational safeguards for cross-border processing, taking account of the nature of the information and applicable legal requirements.
How long we keep information
We do not aim to keep personal information longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Actual retention periods may vary depending on legal, regulatory, safeguarding, accounting, audit, security and operational requirements.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards intended to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, loss or disclosure. These may include access controls, secure hosting, account protections, backups and internal handling procedures.
No website, transmission method or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. If you believe your information has been exposed or misused through an official Jamia Binoria service, please contact us promptly.
Children & student information
Some of our educational and sponsorship services involve children or students below the age of majority. We aim to collect only information reasonably necessary for education, admission, welfare, sponsorship, safeguarding and related administration.
Where required, appropriate parent, guardian or institutional authorisation should be obtained. Information about minors should receive heightened care, limited access and should not be published publicly without an appropriate basis.
Your privacy rights & choices
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have some or all of the following rights:
If processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent where applicable. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before the withdrawal.
To make a privacy request, email info@binoria.com.pk. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. You may also have the right to complain to a relevant privacy or data-protection authority in your jurisdiction.
Automated decision-making
We do not intend to rely on solely automated decision-making through this website to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without appropriate notice and safeguards. If such processing is introduced, relevant information will be provided at or before the point where it becomes applicable.
Third-party links & platforms
Our website may link to external websites, social platforms, payment services, maps, video services or other third-party resources. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those notices before providing personal information directly to a third party.
Changes to this notice
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technologies, legal obligations or information-handling practices change. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
Material changes may also be highlighted through the website or other appropriate communication channels where reasonably necessary.
