Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Dar al-Kalima University ("we", "us", "the University") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through this website (daralkalima.edu.ps). This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, mobile number, chosen program, and application details — when you contact us, apply, or purchase an application form. When you make a payment, your card details are entered directly on our certified payment gateway; we do not see, collect, or store your full card number.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to process and follow up on your application, complete and confirm payments, issue your student portal account, respond to inquiries, and communicate important updates. We may use anonymised, aggregated data to improve the website.
4. Payment Security
All transactions are processed over an encrypted (SSL/TLS) connection through a PCI-DSS-compliant payment gateway that supports Verified by Visa and Mastercard Identity Check (SecureCode). Card data is handled entirely by the gateway and is never stored on our servers.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with our payment processor (to complete transactions) and our Student Information System (to issue your account), and where required by law.
6. Cookies
The website uses essential cookies to keep it functioning correctly and, where enabled, analytics cookies to understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
7. Data Retention & Your Rights
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. You may request to access, correct, or delete your personal data by contacting us.
