Privacy Policy

Last updated September 25, 2026. How the IALFM website handles your information.

Who we are

This website is run by the Islamic Association of Lewisville and Flower Mound (IALFM), a 501(c)(3) non-profit at 3430 Peters Colony Road, Flower Mound, TX 75022. This policy explains what information the website collects and how it is used.

It covers this website only. Donations, membership, registrations, event RSVPs and bookings happen on the IALFM portal, which has its own privacy policy; the IALFM mobile app has its own privacy policy too.

What we collect

  • Messages you send us. When you use the contact form we receive your name, email address, phone number (optional), the topic and your message. It is saved in the website’s admin area and emailed to the IALFM staff member or volunteer responsible for that topic.
  • Questions to “Ask IALFM”. If you use the Ask IALFM chat or the AI answer button in the search box, your question — and, in the chat, your earlier messages in the same conversation — is sent to Anthropic (the maker of the Claude AI) together with the website’s public content to produce an answer. The website does not store your questions: the chat is kept only in your browser tab and disappears when you close it. Anthropic handles questions under its own privacy and data-use terms. Please don’t include personal or sensitive details.
  • Newsletter sign-ups. If you subscribe, your email address goes to our newsletter service, Intuit Mailchimp, which sends the newsletter. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link.
  • Technical information. Like any website, our hosting provider records basic request information (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) in server logs, used to keep the site working and secure.

We do not use advertising trackers or analytics services on this website. WordPress sets cookies only for people who sign in to edit the site.

Cookies and your choices

The IALFM website itself sets no cookies for visitors. Your browser keeps three small notes for us on your own device: your cookie choice, announcements you have closed, and whether you have seen the current popup. They never leave your device.

The YouTube videos and Facebook posts on some pages come from those services, which set their own cookies. They stay switched off until you choose Allow in the cookie notice or press Show on one of them. You can change your choice at any time with Cookie choices at the bottom of every page.

Content from other sites

Some pages show videos from YouTube and posts from our Facebook page, and link to WhatsApp, Instagram and other services. When those embeds load, YouTube (Google) and Facebook (Meta) may collect information and set cookies under their own privacy policies, as if you visited their sites directly. Links to other sites are covered by those sites’ policies.

How we use it

  • To reply to your message and follow up on your request.
  • To send the newsletter you asked for.
  • To keep the website secure and working.

We never sell or rent your information, and we do not share it for marketing.

Who can see it

Only authorized IALFM staff and volunteers who need it to respond, and the service providers that run the website, email and newsletter for us, who may use it only to provide those services. We may disclose information if required by law.

How long we keep it

Contact messages are kept while they are needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping, and are then deleted. Newsletter subscriptions last until you unsubscribe.

Children

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Parents who believe their child sent us information can ask us to delete it.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct or delete the information you sent us, and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Contact us using the details below.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please don’t send sensitive financial details through the contact form.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy; the date at the top shows the latest version. Questions: bod@ialfm.org, the contact form, or IALFM, 3430 Peters Colony Road, Flower Mound, TX 75022.
