Privacy Policy

The Muslim Motherhood ("TMM", "we", "us") is the data controller for the information collected through this website and our mailing list. We're an advocacy organisation for Muslim women in maternity care, based in the UK.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can reach us at info@muslimmotherhood.co.uk.

When you sign up to our mailing list, we collect:

• Your email address
• Technical information automatically recorded by our email marketing provider: your IP address, approximate location, and the date, time, and source of your signup

This information is used solely to send you the updates you've signed up for — new resources, training, and news like the doula directory launching — and to keep a record that you consented to receive them.

We rely on your consent as our lawful basis for processing your data, in line with UK GDPR. You give this consent by actively ticking the sign-up checkbox — it is never pre-ticked for you. You can withdraw consent at any time (see "Your rights," below), and this doesn't affect the lawfulness of anything done before you withdrew it.

We use a third-party email marketing provider to manage our mailing list and send emails. Our provider is based in the EU and is itself GDPR-compliant, with data protection safeguards in place.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy and may transfer it outside the UK/EU as part of its global infrastructure.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to anyone, for any reason.

We keep your details for as long as you remain subscribed to our mailing list. If you unsubscribe, or ask us to delete your data, we (and our email provider, on our behalf) will remove your personal details, other than a minimal record needed to demonstrate compliance if legally required.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct any inaccurate information
• Ask us to delete your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Withdraw your consent at any time
• Ask us to restrict or object to how we process your data
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format

The easiest way to stop hearing from us is the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email. For anything else, email info@muslimmotherhood.co.uk and we'll action it promptly.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you also have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Our mailing list signup form is provided by a third-party email marketing platform, which may use cookies or similar technologies to record that you've viewed or submitted the form.

We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website — for example, which pages are most read and roughly how people find us. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type. This data is processed by Google and is not used by us to identify you personally.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings to block third-party cookies.

We may update this policy from time to time as TMM grows — for example, as we launch the doula directory or new training offerings. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top.
