Privacy policy

We respect your privacy and aim to collect as little personal information as possible. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Random Hadith, you agree to the terms outlined here.

Introduction and scope

This policy applies to all visitors and users of our website at https://randomhadith.com. Random Hadith operates as a read-only platform that does not require registration or account creation.

Information we collect

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us — for example, your name, email address, and message when you contact us through our form. In addition, like most websites, our servers automatically record limited technical information when you visit:

• IP address (often truncated or anonymised)
• Browser type, version, device, and operating system
• Pages visited, time of visit, and referring URLs
• General geographic location derived from your IP (not precise GPS)

Cookies and tracking technologies

We use only essential cookies needed for the site to function, plus privacy- respecting analytics. We do not use invasive advertising trackers. You can control cookies through your browser preferences, though disabling them may affect certain features.

How collected data is used

• To respond to your enquiries and provide support.
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website.
• To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used.

Third-party services

We use Google Analytics to understand traffic in aggregate; it collects the IP address assigned on the date you visit, not your name. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on. We also rely on trusted hosting and infrastructure providers that process limited technical data only to deliver the site securely.

Data sharing and disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share it only with your consent, with service providers acting on our behalf under confidentiality, where required by law, or in connection with a business transfer subject to continued privacy protection.

Security measures

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures — including SSL/TLS encryption, access controls, and monitoring — to protect your data. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary. Email correspondence is typically retained for up to 24 months unless deletion is requested, and analytics data is generally retained for 26 months, after which it is deleted or anonymised.

Your rights & GDPR compliance

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, to request portability, or to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] — we aim to respond within 30 days.

Children's privacy

Random Hadith does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently done so, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Contact information

For any privacy questions or requests, email [email protected] or use our contact page. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
