Who we are
Al-Taqwa Academy is a JK–12 Islamic private school operated by Altaqwa Academy Foundation, a registered charity in London, Ontario. This draft describes how we intend to handle personal information collected through this website and related school inquiries.
Information we collect
When you contact us through this website, you may provide your name, email address, a student’s name, grade level, and a message. Because this site does not have a form server, that information is sent through your own email application to [email protected] (or [email protected] for enrollment). We also collect the information you send us directly by email, phone, or in person as part of admissions, tuition, and school operations.
Student records, health information, and admission documents are collected as part of enrollment, as described on our Admissions page. Those records are handled as Ontario Student Records and under applicable Ontario and Canadian privacy law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) where it applies, and relevant education statutes. The exact legal basis and retention periods are [TBD — pending legal review].
Cookies and analytics
This website uses Google Analytics (measurement ID G-BF2FDR6KMM) to understand how the site is used — for example, which pages are visited and from what general region. Google may set cookies or use similar technology. You can learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy and control Analytics cookies through your browser or Google’s tools. We do not use analytics to sell advertising.
How we use information
We use contact information to respond to inquiries, arrange tours, process admissions, operate the school, issue tax receipts for donations where applicable, and improve this website. We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate (for example, email, payment processors such as PayPal for donations, and Google Analytics), and when required by law.
Donations
Donations made through the PayPal button on this site are processed by PayPal. PayPal’s own privacy policy applies to information you give them. The PayPal account used by the Foundation is [email protected].
Your rights
You may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions. To make a request, or to ask a question about this draft, contact [email protected]. The name of a formal privacy officer is [TBD — pending review].
Children
This website is intended for families and the school community. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the public website forms other than what a parent or guardian chooses to include in a message. Student information is collected through the school’s admissions process, not as a public web signup.
Changes
When this draft is approved, we will replace this page with the final policy and record the effective date. If you have comments on this draft, please write to [email protected].
