Privacy
Asking a question here is private.
People come to this site quietly. Some are curious, some are new to the faith, and some are not ready to tell anyone. This page explains exactly what happens to anything you send, and it is short because very little happens.
Last updated October 24, 2026. Questions: privacy@puebloislam.com
Curiosity about a faith is nobody else’s business
If you ask a question, request a Quran, or write for guidance, that is between you and the person who answers. We do not tell your family, your employer, your community, the masjid, or anyone else. We do not publish questions with names attached. We do not add you to a list because you asked something.
Interest in a religion is sensitive information, and we treat it that way in practice, not just on this page.
Who runs this site
Pueblo Islam is built and run by Ameen Systems, a small web studio, which decides what the site collects and why. Pueblo Islam is not the masjid in Pueblo and shares nothing with it. Write to privacy@puebloislam.com about anything on this page.
What we collect
Only what you type into a form, and only for the reason that form exists. A first name or a nickname is always enough where a name is asked.
| Form | What it asks for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ask About Islam | A name, your email, a topic, your question, and whether you allow an anonymous public answer | To reply to you |
| Request a Quran | Your name, email, mailing address, who the copy is for, the edition, and anything you add | To confirm with you and mail the copy |
| Ask for Guidance | A name, your email, a phone number if you choose, where you are, the help you need, and your message | To reply, and to point you to the right person |
| Contact | A name, your email, a topic, and your message | To reply |
| Volunteer | Your name, email, whether you are near Pueblo, how you would like to help, and anything you add | To reply, and to match you when a need comes up |
| Community Updates | Your email and, if you like, a first name | To send the occasional update you asked for |
| Halal listing | Whether you run the place or recommend it, the business name, kind of place, what is halal there, where the meat comes from, the business address, phone, and website, your name and email, and anything you add | To confirm the place and, for a business, to take the yearly listing fee through Stripe and send renewal reminders |
When a business is listed, its name, kind of place, what is halal there, address, phone, website, a short note, and the month it was confirmed are shown publicly on the Halal Food in Pueblo page. The name and email of whoever sent the form are never shown.
With each form, the site also records the page you sent it from and a general browser and device type, which helps us fix problems. It does not record your IP address with your message. To stop spam, the form checks that a person, not a script, filled it in; that check stores nothing about you, only a daily count of blocked attempts.
If you choose to pay, whether toward the project, once or monthly, or for a halal listing, that happens on Stripe’s page, not ours (see below). Like every website, the servers also keep ordinary technical logs as pages load: an IP address, a browser type, which page, and when. Those exist so the site stays up and secure.
What this site never does
- No analytics. No Google Analytics and no equivalent. Nobody counts which pages about Islam you read.
- No advertising and no tracking pixels. Nothing here follows you to another website.
- No outside scripts or fonts. Everything the site loads comes from the site itself. There are no embedded maps, videos, or social widgets; links to other sites are plain links.
- No selling or sharing. Not your address, not your question, not ever.
- No mailing list by stealth. Asking a question, requesting a Quran, or sending a halal listing does not subscribe you to anything. Community Updates is the only list, and it requires you to confirm by email.
- No open or click tracking in the updates we send.
Who else can see anything
These are the only companies involved. Beyond them, we share information only where the law requires it or where someone’s safety genuinely demands it.
| Who | What they do | What they can see |
|---|---|---|
| Namecheap | Hosts the website, its database, and its email | Everything stored on the site, including form messages |
| Cloudflare | Delivers the site quickly and blocks attacks | Visitors’ IP addresses and the pages requested, as traffic passes through |
| Ameen Systems | Builds and runs the site, and reads and answers messages | Form messages, delivered by email to the inbox it operates; a monitoring connection that sees technical status only |
| Stripe | Processes payments, only if you choose to pay: support, once or monthly, and yearly halal listing fees | Your name, email, and card details, on Stripe’s own page. For monthly support and yearly halal listings, Stripe keeps your card on file to charge each period, sends the renewal reminders, and hosts the page where you cancel. We see your name, email, the amount, and renewal dates, never your card number |
The forms and the Community Updates list run on software (Fluent Forms and FluentCRM) installed on our own server, so what you type goes to our server, not to a software company’s cloud.
Artificial intelligence
- What you send is never processed by AI. A person reads it and a person answers it. It is not sent to an AI service, and it is never used to train one.
- The writing on this site was drafted with AI assistance. Ameen Systems uses AI tools, including Anthropic’s Claude, to help draft and organize pages. Quotations from the Quran and hadith are copied from verified source texts and cited, never generated. How we write and check is set out in our editorial standards.
- The Spanish pages were translated from the English with AI assistance and checked against the English page by page. Quran verses in Spanish are quoted from the translation by Isa García, and quoted hadith from HadeethEnc, the Encyclopedia of Translated Prophetic Hadiths. Where no verified Spanish text of a hadith exists, the page gives its meaning as a paraphrase and says so.
- No AI images. There are no photographs or generated images on this site; the Pueblo Islam mark and the mountain lines are drawn artwork.
If any of this changes, this section changes before it does.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies for visitors: no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no preference cookies. That is why there is no cookie banner: there is nothing to ask your permission for. Cloudflare may set a short-lived security cookie to tell people from bots, which is strictly necessary and holds nothing about who you are. People who sign in to manage the site receive the usual WordPress sign-in cookies.
How long we keep it
| Information | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Questions, guidance messages, contact messages, volunteer offers, and halal listing messages | 24 months on the website, then deleted automatically |
| Halal listing records (the business details and its private contact) | While the listing is up, then deleted automatically 12 months after it comes down; a tip or request that never becomes a listing is deleted after 24 months |
| Quran requests, including your mailing address | 90 days on the website, then deleted automatically |
| Community Updates sign-up form entries | 30 days on the website, then deleted automatically |
| Your Community Updates subscription | Until you unsubscribe; after that we keep only your email address, marked unsubscribed, so we never write to you again |
| Email copies of messages, and our replies | Kept in Pueblo Islam’s inbox as ordinary correspondence until you ask us to delete them; we then delete every copy |
| Server logs | Deleted within 90 days |
| Backups | The site is backed up monthly and the last four backups are kept, so a deleted item can survive in a backup for up to four months |
Ask us to delete something sooner and we will, without asking why.
Your rights
Write to privacy@puebloislam.com, or by mail to Pueblo Islam, 1322 Wabash Ave, Ste B, Pueblo, CO 81004, to see what we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted, including every email copy. No formal wording, no reason needed, and no charge. We reply within 30 days, and usually much sooner. To leave Community Updates, use the unsubscribe link in any email; it works immediately.
Children
This site is written for adults and older students. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us something, write to us and we will delete it.
Changes
If our practice changes, this page changes first, and the date at the top changes with it. Nothing new that can see your information goes live before it is written here.
What changed on September 28, 2026: email copies of messages are kept as ordinary correspondence until you ask for them to be deleted, rather than for a fixed 24 months. The site is now also in Spanish, with Spanish versions of every form. A Halal Food in Pueblo page was added, with a form and a public list of confirmed places; what it collects, shows, and keeps is listed above. Monthly support and the yearly halal listing fee, both through Stripe, are described above.
What changed on September 27, 2026: the site was rebuilt. Four forms were added (guidance, contact, volunteer, and a working Community Updates sign-up) and the Quran request form was rebuilt. Cloudflare and Stripe are now listed. The cookie banner and its software (CookieAdmin) were removed because the site sets no cookies that need consent, and the hCaptcha spam service was removed in favor of a check on our own server. Quran request addresses are now deleted after a fixed 90 days, and server logs within 90 days.
