Privacy Policy, Dedaandsons.

Dedaandsons operates a growing ecosystem of websites, applications, progressive web apps (PWAs), digital tools, educational services, business services, publishing and media platforms and related online services.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, shared and protected when you use Dedaandsons services that link to or expressly adopt this Privacy Policy.

Because the Dedaandsons ecosystem contains different types of services, some services may collect information that is specific to the way that service operates. Where necessary, an individual service may provide additional privacy information or a service-specific notice. Such additional information supplements this Privacy Policy for that service.

1. About Dedaandsons

Dedaandsons is an online digital ecosystem that includes websites, applications, PWAs, content platforms, tools and services developed, operated or made available by Dedaandsons.

Depending on the service, the Dedaandsons ecosystem may include:

• Dedaandsons Global News and media services, including Islamic, world, technology, automobile, travel, general-interest reports, articles and media content.
• Islamic.dedaandsons and related Islamic information, educational and utility services.
• Dedaandsons VisitMe, a digital business card and public business-profile service.
• Dedaandsons Business and related business, service-provider, employee, intern, trainee and professional profile services.
• Dedaandsons Learn and educational PWAs, providing educational content, interactive learning experiences, calculators, exercises and learning tools;
• Dedaandsons Apps and application-directory services.
• ZikrApp and related Islamic, remembrance, educational, informational and utility applications.
• Currency value checkers, calculators and other utility services.
• Dedaandsons Estimate and domain-name estimation or valuation tools.
• Other websites, applications, PWAs, tools and digital services operated or developed by Dedaandsons.

future Dedaandsons websites, applications, services and platforms that link to or expressly adopt this Privacy Policy.

Dedaandsons may add, modify, combine, discontinue or reorganize services as the ecosystem develops. A particular service may also provide additional privacy information where its processing differs materially from this Privacy Policy.

Depending on the functionality used, an application may process account information, device information, technical information, usage information, notification-related information or information stored locally on the user's device.

Not every service is available to every user, and services may be introduced, changed, suspended or discontinued as the Dedaandsons ecosystem develops.

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Dedaandsons websites, applications, PWAs, accounts, tools and services that link to or expressly adopt this Privacy Policy.

It also applies to information that is shared between participating Dedaandsons services where such sharing is necessary or appropriate to provide a requested service, operate a Dedaandsons Account, maintain security, prevent abuse, or operate the wider platform.

A particular service may provide additional privacy information where its data practices differ materially from the general practices described here.

This Privacy Policy does not automatically apply to independent third-party websites, applications or services that Dedaandsons links to.

3. Roles and Responsibilities

Depending on the Dedaandsons service and the circumstances in which information is processed, Dedaandsons or an applicable Dedaandsons entity may determine the purposes and means of processing personal information. In some circumstances, a third-party service may process information independently under its own privacy policy.

Where another organization independently determines how information is processed, that organization may have separate privacy responsibilities.

4. Dedaandsons Account

Dedaandsons is developing a centralized account model so that a user may be able to use a Dedaandsons Account across multiple participating services.

Depending on the services you use, your Dedaandsons Account may be used to:

• create and authenticate an account;
• maintain account credentials and security;
• access participating Dedaandsons services;
• manage your profile or account information;
• submit business or service requests;
• manage business or public-profile information;
• communicate with Dedaandsons;
• manage preferences and service settings;
• request account or information changes; and
• maintain security and prevent unauthorized use.

Using a Dedaandsons Account does not mean that all of your information is automatically made available to every Dedaandsons service.

Information may be shared between participating services only where reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, authenticate your account, operate the platform, maintain security, prevent abuse or comply with legal obligations.

5. Information We May Collect

The information collected depends on which Dedaandsons service you use and how you interact with it.

4.1 Account Information

When you create or use an account, we may collect information such as:

• name;
• email address;
• telephone or mobile number;
• account credentials;
• authentication and verification information;
• account preferences;
• profile information;
• account status; and
• information you provide when contacting support.

Passwords, where used, are intended to be stored using appropriate password-protection and hashing mechanisms rather than as readable passwords.

You should never send your password to Dedaandsons through ordinary messages or support requests.

4.2 Business Information

If you use Dedaandsons Business or another business-related service, we may collect information such as:

• business or organization name;
• business category;
• business description;
• business contact information;
• business location or service area;
• website and social links;
• business profile information;
• photographs, logos and other uploaded media;
• information supplied in a business request or application;
• information relating to a business, service provider, employee, intern, trainee or other professional profile where the relevant service supports such profiles; and
• communications concerning the business or service.

Some business information may intentionally be published publicly.

4.3 VisitMe.Dedaandsons and Public Profiles

VisitMe.Dedaandsons is designed to allow individuals, businesses and other users to create digital business cards or public-facing profiles.

Information that you choose to publish through a public profile may include:

• name;
• professional or business name;
• job title or role;
• business description;
• contact information;
• business address or service area;
• profile photograph;
• business logo;
• images and other media;
• website addresses;
• social-media links;
• business hours;
• services or products; and
• other profile information supported by the service.

Information deliberately published as part of a public profile may be visible to other people and may be copied, shared, indexed by search engines, cached or otherwise accessed outside the control of Dedaandsons.

You should therefore avoid publishing information that you do not want to make public.

If you submit information about another person or organization for publication, you are responsible for having the necessary authority or permission to provide and publish that information.

The current VisitMe.Dedaandsons name or domain may change as the service develops. A future independent VisitMe.Dedaandsons domain, brand or platform may continue to operate as part of the Dedaandsons ecosystem or under a separately identified service arrangement.

4.4 User-Generated Content

Depending on the service, you may submit:

• text;
• photographs;
• logos;
• illustrations;
• documents;
• profile information;
• comments;
• feedback;
• educational answers or progress;
• business information;
• application-related information; and
• other content.

You remain responsible for the content you submit and for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to submit or publish it.

4.5 Technical and Log Information

When you access Dedaandsons websites, applications or services, technical information may be recorded automatically.

This may include:

• IP address;
• browser type and version;
• operating system;
• device information;
• requested URL or page;
• referring information;
• date and time of requests;
• session-related information;
• user-agent information;
• approximate technical or geographic information derived from network data where available; and
• information concerning errors, security events and service performance.

Technical and request information may be used for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, system administration, traffic measurement, analytics and service improvement.

For example, Dedaandsons may distinguish automated requests from ordinary visitor activity to help identify bots, crawlers, automated tools and potentially abusive traffic.

4.6 Usage and Analytics Information

We may collect information about how people use Dedaandsons services, including:

• pages or services accessed;
• features used;
• approximate session activity;
• interactions with tools;
• referring pages;
• technical events;
• performance information; and
• aggregated traffic statistics.

Analytics may be used to understand traffic, identify technical problems, improve content and services, detect abnormal activity and make development decisions.

Dedaandsons may use internally operated analytics systems and, where introduced for a particular service, third-party analytics technologies.

Where third-party analytics services are used, the applicable service may provide additional information about those services.

4.7 Communications

If you contact Dedaandsons, submit feedback, request support, make a business enquiry, submit a partnership enquiry, report an issue or otherwise communicate with us, we may retain information necessary to respond to and manage that communication.

This may include your contact details, message, attachments, request history and relevant account or service information.

4.8 Payment-Related Information

Some Dedaandsons services may offer paid products, services, subscriptions, premium features or other transactions.

Where payment processing is provided through a third-party payment provider, payment information may be processed directly by that provider according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Dedaandsons may receive limited transaction-related information necessary to:

• confirm a transaction;
• provide a purchased service;
• process refunds;
• maintain transaction records;
• provide support;
• prevent fraud or abuse; and
• meet accounting, legal or regulatory requirements.

Dedaandsons does not need to receive or store full payment-card information when the payment provider processes that information directly.

The specific payment providers used may vary by service and may be identified during the relevant transaction.

6. Information Collected by Educational Services

Dedaandsons Learn and related educational services may provide calculators, exercises, quizzes, learning activities, educational tools and other interactive features.

Depending on the feature, information may include:

• account information;
• learning preferences;
• answers or responses;
• progress information;
• saved activities;
• technical information; and
• usage information.

Not every learning tool requires an account.

Where a learning feature operates without an account, information may be processed locally in the browser or may be collected only as technically necessary for the service.

Educational services may provide additional notices where a particular service is designed specifically for children or requires additional protections.

7. Apps and Application Directory Services

Dedaandsons Apps is intended to help users discover Dedaandsons applications, PWAs, tools and services.

The application directory may contain links to:

• Dedaandsons applications;
• Dedaandsons PWAs;
• educational services;
• calculators and utilities;
• third-party applications or services; and
• other digital products.

The privacy practices of an application may differ from the privacy practices of the directory itself.

Where an application is operated by Dedaandsons, the relevant Dedaandsons privacy practices apply.

Where a link takes you to an independent third-party service, that service's own privacy policy applies.

8. Currency, Calculator and Utility Services

Dedaandsons may provide currency conversion, currency-value checking, calculators, converters, date tools, educational calculators, interactive utilities and similar services.

Many of these tools may be usable without an account.

Depending on the tool, we may process technical information associated with requests, including IP address, browser/device information, request time and service usage information.

Where a tool requires an account, saved results, preferences or other information, the relevant account and service provisions of this Privacy Policy also apply.

Results produced by calculators or informational tools should not automatically be treated as professional financial, legal, medical or other regulated advice unless the particular service expressly states otherwise.

9. How We Use Information

Dedaandsons may use information for purposes including:

1. providing and operating services;
2. creating and maintaining accounts;
3. authenticating users;
4. managing business requests and profiles;
5. publishing public profiles where requested;
6. providing educational and interactive features;
7. providing calculators, tools and applications;
8. processing transactions and subscriptions;
9. responding to support requests;
10. sending service-related communications;
11. improving websites, applications and services;
12. understanding traffic and service usage;
13. maintaining reliability and performance;
14. detecting, investigating and preventing fraud, abuse, spam and unauthorized activity;
15. protecting users, systems and the Dedaandsons platform;
16. enforcing applicable terms and service rules;
17. complying with legal obligations;
18. establishing, exercising or defending legal claims;
19. developing new products and services; and
20. carrying out other purposes disclosed to you when information is collected.

Where applicable law requires a particular legal basis for processing, the applicable basis may include performance of a contract or requested service, compliance with a legal obligation, legitimate interests, consent, or another lawful basis recognized by applicable law.

The applicable basis depends on the nature and circumstances of the processing.

10. Public Information

Some Dedaandsons services are specifically designed to publish information publicly.

Examples include:

• VisitMe.Dedaandsons public profiles;
• business profiles;
• professional profiles;
• public business contact information;
• public articles and comments where applicable;
• publicly submitted content; and
• other information that a user deliberately chooses to publish.

Public information should not be considered private merely because it is stored by Dedaandsons.

Public information may be:

• viewed by other users;
• shared through links;
• copied by other people;
• indexed by search engines;
• cached by third parties;
• included in search results;
• accessed through direct URLs; or
• reproduced elsewhere without Dedaandsons being able to completely prevent such activity.

You should carefully consider the information you publish publicly.

11. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Dedaandsons may use cookies, local storage, session technologies and similar mechanisms.

These technologies may be used for:

• authentication;
• maintaining sessions;
• security;
• remembering preferences;
• providing requested functionality;
• measuring usage;
• understanding service performance;
• preventing abuse; and
• advertising or marketing where applicable.

Some cookies or technologies may be strictly necessary for a service to operate.

Where applicable law requires consent for particular cookies or similar technologies, Dedaandsons will seek consent through the mechanisms applicable to that service.

Browser settings may also provide controls over cookies, although disabling certain cookies may affect functionality.

12. Advertising

Some Dedaandsons services may display advertising.

Advertising may be provided by Dedaandsons or by third-party advertising providers.

Where third-party advertising technology is used, the provider may process technical information such as browser, device, IP address, advertising identifiers, cookie information or interaction data according to its own practices and applicable law.

The advertising technologies and providers used by Dedaandsons may change over time.

A service may provide additional advertising or consent information where required.

Dedaandsons does not treat this Privacy Policy as permission to use advertising technologies that are not actually deployed.

13. How We Share Information

Dedaandsons may share information in the following circumstances.

12.1 Within Participating Dedaandsons Services

Information may be shared between participating Dedaandsons services where necessary to:

• authenticate a Dedaandsons Account;
• provide a requested service;
• maintain account functionality;
• manage a business request or profile;
• maintain security;
• prevent abuse;
• provide customer support; or
• operate interconnected Dedaandsons services.

This does not mean that every Dedaandsons service has access to all information associated with your account.

12.2 Service Providers

Dedaandsons may use third-party companies or individuals to provide infrastructure or services such as:

• hosting;
• databases;
• email delivery;
• authentication;
• security;
• analytics;
• payment processing;
• communications;
• storage;
• content delivery;
• technical maintenance; and
• other operational services.

Service providers may process information on behalf of Dedaandsons where necessary to provide their services.

12.3 Legal and Safety Requirements

Information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to:

• comply with applicable law;
• respond to lawful legal process;
• protect the rights, property or safety of Dedaandsons;
• protect users or the public;
• investigate fraud or abuse;
• investigate security incidents; or
• establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

12.4 Business Transactions

If Dedaandsons or a relevant part of its operations is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, transfer of a service or similar transaction, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Any such transfer remains subject to applicable legal requirements.

12.5 With Your Direction

Information may also be shared when you specifically request or authorize sharing, such as when you:

• publish a public profile;
• provide a business listing;
• use a sharing feature;
• connect a third-party service;
• submit information for publication; or
• otherwise instruct Dedaandsons to disclose information.

14. Third-Party Websites and Services

Dedaandsons services may contain links to websites, applications, social-media platforms, payment providers, maps, media platforms or other third-party services.

Dedaandsons does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

When you leave a Dedaandsons service or interact directly with a third-party service, that third party's privacy policy and terms may apply.

You should review the privacy information of third-party services before providing information to them.

Third-Party Services and Providers

Dedaandsons uses certain third-party services and infrastructure providers to operate, maintain, measure, secure and monetize parts of the Dedaandsons ecosystem.

Depending on the service you use, these may include hosting and infrastructure providers, email services, analytics services, advertising providers, payment and commerce platforms, security services, content-delivery services and other technical providers.

Hosting and Infrastructure

Dedaandsons uses Hostinger for hosting and related infrastructure. Information processed through Dedaandsons websites, applications and services may therefore be transmitted to or stored on infrastructure operated or provided by Hostinger.

Dedaandsons may also use Hostinger's email services for sending and receiving service-related, account, support and other communications.

Analytics

Dedaandsons may use both internally developed analytics systems and third-party analytics services.

Our internally developed page-visit and traffic analytics may process technical information such as IP address, user-agent information, requested page or URL, timestamps, session-related information and information used to distinguish ordinary visitor activity from automated traffic.

Dedaandsons also uses Google Analytics on applicable websites or services to understand usage, traffic and service performance.

Google Analytics may process information according to Google's own terms, privacy practices and the configuration applied by Dedaandsons.

Users may learn more about Google’s practices and available controls through Google’s own privacy and advertising information.

Advertising

Dedaandsons uses Google AdSense on applicable websites or services.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers or technologies in connection with advertising and measurement, subject to applicable settings, policies and privacy requirements.

Google requires publishers using its advertising products to provide appropriate disclosures concerning Google's collection and use of information. Users may learn more about Google's practices through Google's own privacy and advertising information.

Dedaandsons does not intentionally provide Google advertising systems with information that Google prohibits publishers from transmitting under its applicable publisher policies.

Dedaandsons does not intentionally provide Google advertising systems with information that Google prohibits publishers from transmitting under its applicable publisher policies.

15. Patreon and Digital Asset Purchases

Dedaandsons may offer or promote certain digital assets, including 3D assets, through Patreon.

Where a user purchases an asset through Patreon, the transaction is handled through Patreon rather than through Dedaandsons' own payment infrastructure.

Patreon acts as the merchant for transactions on its platform and handles payment processing and related transaction activities, including supported payment methods, payment authorization, fraud prevention, disputes and chargebacks.

Dedaandsons may receive or have access to information necessary to identify or fulfill a purchase or provide the associated digital asset or service, depending on the way the Patreon service and Dedaandsons offering are configured.

Payment-card or other payment credentials submitted directly to Patreon are subject to Patreon's own privacy policy and terms.

Users should review Patreon's privacy and payment information when purchasing through Patreon.

Other Third-Party Services

Dedaandsons may introduce additional third-party providers for functions such as hosting and infrastructure, email and communications, analytics, advertising, security, payment processing, file and media storage, content delivery, authentication, application distribution and other technical or operational services.

Third-party providers may change as Dedaandsons services develop.

Where required, additional service-specific privacy information may identify providers relevant to a particular service.

Dedaandsons does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party services. When you interact directly with a third-party service, that service's own privacy policy and terms apply.

16. Data Retention

Dedaandsons retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking into account:

• the nature of the information;
• the purpose of processing;
• whether an account or service remains active;
• security and fraud-prevention requirements;
• legal obligations;
• financial and accounting requirements;
• dispute resolution;
• enforcement of agreements; and
• legitimate operational requirements.

Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

Technical logs and security records may sometimes need to be retained separately from account information.

When information is no longer required, Dedaandsons may delete it, anonymize it, aggregate it or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.

17. Account Deletion and Information Requests

Where a Dedaandsons service supports account deletion, you may request deletion through the relevant account or service mechanism.

You may also contact Dedaandsons regarding personal information associated with your account.

Depending on the service and applicable law, you may request:

• access to personal information;
• correction of inaccurate information;
• deletion;
• restriction of processing;
• objection to certain processing;
• withdrawal of consent where consent is the applicable basis;
• information about processing; and
• other rights available under applicable privacy laws.

Some information may need to be retained where required by law or where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal claims, financial records or other legitimate purposes.

Deleting a Dedaandsons Account may not automatically remove information that you intentionally published publicly and that has already been copied, cached or indexed by third parties.

18. Public Profile and Business Profile Removal

If you use VisitMe.Dedaandsons, Dedaandsons Business or another public-profile service, you may be able to modify, deactivate or request removal of your profile through the relevant service.

Removing a profile from Dedaandsons does not guarantee immediate removal from:

• search-engine indexes;
• third-party caches;
• browser caches;
• social-media posts;
• screenshots;
• copies made by other users; or
• other third-party locations.

Dedaandsons may retain limited information associated with a removed profile where necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution or legitimate operational purposes.

19. Communications

Dedaandsons may send communications necessary to operate the services you use.

Examples include:

• account verification;
• password or account recovery;
• security notifications;
• service changes;
• transaction information;
• business-request updates;
• support responses;
• important legal or policy notices; and
• other service-related communications.

Where Dedaandsons sends optional promotional or marketing communications, you may be provided with an opportunity to unsubscribe or otherwise manage those communications where required by applicable law.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily stop essential service or security communications.

20. Security

Dedaandsons uses reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, misuse and destruction.

Security measures may include, depending on the service:

• authentication controls;
• password hashing;
• access controls;
• secure communications;
• server and application security;
• monitoring;
• logging;
• abuse detection;
• backups;
• security updates; and
• measures designed to restrict unauthorized access.

No website, application, server, database, network or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and should promptly report suspected unauthorized access.

21. Automated Traffic, Bots and Abuse Prevention

Dedaandsons receives both ordinary human traffic and automated traffic.

Automated requests may originate from:

• search-engine crawlers;
• social-media or link-preview systems;
• monitoring services;
• security tools;
• application clients;
• automated scripts;
• legitimate APIs or integrations; and
• potentially abusive or malicious systems.

Technical information such as IP addresses, user-agent information, requested URLs and timestamps may be processed to distinguish or investigate automated activity.

This information may be used for:

• security;
• traffic measurement;
• search-engine accessibility;
• abuse prevention;
• rate limiting;
• troubleshooting;
• system administration; and
• maintaining service availability.

22. Children and Educational Services

Dedaandsons operates services that may contain educational content and learning tools.

The general Dedaandsons platform is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where applicable law prohibits such collection.

Different services may have different age requirements depending on their purpose, functionality and applicable law.

Where a service is specifically designed for children or younger learners, additional age, parental-consent or data-protection requirements may apply and may be described in that service's additional notice.

Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information inappropriately may contact Dedaandsons to request assistance.

23. International Users and Data Transfers

Dedaandsons may be accessed by users from different countries.

Depending on the infrastructure, service providers and operational arrangements used by a particular service, information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which you live.

Where applicable law imposes requirements on international transfers of personal information, Dedaandsons will use appropriate measures required by that law.

The exact countries and safeguards may vary according to the service and infrastructure in use.

24. Privacy Rights Under Applicable Laws

Privacy rights differ depending on where you live and the laws applicable to you.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights relating to:

• access;
• correction;
• deletion;
• restriction;
• objection;
• portability;
• withdrawal of consent;
• marketing preferences;
• information about processing; and
• complaints to a relevant privacy or data-protection authority.

Dedaandsons will handle valid privacy requests according to applicable law.

We may need to verify a request sufficiently to protect accounts and personal information from unauthorized access.

We will not normally require unnecessary identity information simply to make a privacy request.

Where a request is subject to lawful limitations or exceptions, we may explain those limitations.

25. Legal Basis Where Required

For jurisdictions that require a documented legal basis for processing, the applicable basis may vary depending on the activity.

Possible bases may include:

• providing a service requested by you;
• performing a contract;
• complying with a legal obligation;
• protecting the security and integrity of the platform;
• legitimate interests, where permitted;
• consent, where required; or
• another lawful basis recognized by applicable law.

Dedaandsons does not rely on a single legal basis for every type of processing.

26. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Dedaandsons may update this Privacy Policy as the ecosystem develops, services change, new technologies are introduced, or legal requirements change.

When we make significant changes, we may provide additional notice through the relevant Dedaandsons service.

The date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy indicates when it was most recently updated.

We encourage users to review this page periodically.

27. Relationship With the Terms and Conditions

It does not replace the Terms and Conditions applicable to a Dedaandsons service.

• intellectual property;
