Islamic Relief USA only gathers personally identifiable data—such as names, postal addresses, email addresses, contact information, credit card information or other information—when you voluntarily submit it. This information is used solely by Islamic Relief USA for internal purposes. Islamic Relief USA lists are never sold to third parties. We will only share personally identifiable information with third parties when:
This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to the Islamic Relief USA website located at irusa.org and all related sub-domains. Other websites of the Islamic Relief Worldwide family may operate under their own privacy notices.

Islamic Relief USA does not automatically collect your personally identifiable information when your visit our website. We do recognize the internet service provider of visitors, as well as the domain name or IP address of the server from where you are visiting. This information is used to determine the number of visitors to our site and sources of traffic. The data we collect are totals of those visiting from a domain, not information on individual users.
We cannot recognize the personally identifiable data—such as names, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, contact information, credit card information or other information—about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our website.
You do not have to provide any personal information on our website unless you choose to do so. Islamic Relief USA only gathers personal information—such as your name, postal address, e-mail address, contact information, credit card information or other information—only when you voluntarily submit it in an online form. If you make a donation online, personal information will be collected from you in order to process that donation.
Islamic Relief USA is the sole owner of any information collected on this site. Islamic Relief USA does not sell personal information about its website users or its offline donors.
Islamic Relief USA states unambiguously that (a) it will not sell, trade and share a donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations or (b) it will only share personal information once the donor has given the charity specific permission to do so.
The personal information you provide us when using our website or by other means—such as your name, postal address, e-mail address, contact information, credit card information or other information—will be kept strictly confidential and used to support your customer relationship with Islamic Relief USA, as well as to notify you of updated information.
If you allow us to, we will use personal information that you submit in an online or offline form to place you on our mailing list for regular updates. If you do not wish to receive such mailings from Islamic Relief USA, you will have the opportunity at any time to request removal from future mailings by contacting us.
Also, if you allow us to, we will use your e-mail address that you submit in an online form to place you on our e-mail list.

Islamic Relief USA strongly adheres to anti-spam practices in its e-mail outreach. All e-mails sent on our list have easy-to-follow unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each e-mail, and lists are never shared with any third parties.
Islamic Relief USA cares about the safety and security of your transaction, and we take every precaution to protect your information.
Donations made on our website are secure to the fullest extent possible. We use high-grade, 128-bit encryption and the “https” security protocol through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to communicate with your browser software. SSL protects information as it is transferred through the Internet. This method is the industry standard security protocol, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to us. Companies we work with to process credit card transactions also use high grade encryption and security protocols.
You can recognize secure website pages by checking for the secure symbol at the bottom of your browser screen. For most browsers, this symbol is either a lock or a key. When the lock symbol appears to be locked, the page is secure. When it appears to be unlocked, the page is insecure.
Additionally, all of the transactional data we collect from users is protected against unauthorized access with the use of digital certificates. Digital certificates for Islamic Relief USA are issued by GeoTrust, one of the most established signers of digital certificates.
Furthermore, this site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
Islamic Relief USA is concerned about the protection of online privacy for all our website users. We are particularly respectful of the privacy of our young users. We encourage parents to monitor their children’s use of the Internet and to help us protect their privacy by instructing them never to provide personal information on this website or any other without permission. We will never attempt to extract unnecessary information from you, regardless of age.
Islamic Relief USA welcomes children to learn more about our organization and, where appropriate, participate in our volunteer activities. However, we encourage this to be done only with their parents’ knowledge and supervision.
Islamic Relief USA does not knowingly solicit data from children, nor do we knowingly market to children.
