The short version
- No cookies, no analytics or tracking tools, no ads.
- Fonts and images are served from this site's own server, so browsing loads nothing from other companies.
- The Al-Rafah letters live on Substack. Subscribing happens on Substack itself, not on this site.

When you visit
Like any web server, the host logs the IP address, time, page requested and browser type for security and operation, and deletes these logs after a short time. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a safe, working site). Host: Hostinger International Ltd., acting on our behalf.
The Al-Rafah letters
The letters are written and sent through Substack (Substack Inc., USA). The subscribe buttons here are plain links that open Substack; this site does not collect your email. When you subscribe there, Substack’s privacy policy applies, and you can unsubscribe from the bottom of any letter. The list of letters here is text our server reads from Substack’s public feed, so browsing loads nothing from Substack.
The Rafaah waitlist
The waitlist form comes from Tally (Tally BV, Belgium, in the EU). It loads only when you reach it on the page. What you enter, your email and answers, is kept by Tally on our behalf, with your consent, so we can tell you about the launch and understand what people need before it. We don’t sell or share it, and we delete it after the launch or whenever you ask. Tally’s privacy policy.
When you write to us
We use what you write only to answer you. Email is hosted by Hostinger. We delete messages when we no longer need them, unless the law requires us to keep them.
Links to other sites
Links to YouTube, LinkedIn and others are plain links, not embedded players. Nothing reaches those companies until you click, and then their policies apply.
Your rights
You can access, correct and delete your data, restrict or object to its use, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw consent. You can also complain to a data protection authority in your own country.
