From our partners or other third parties — such as advertising and analytics partners.

Legal and compliance — to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal process, and enforce our terms and policies.
5. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA / UK)
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your personal information only where we have a valid legal basis under the GDPR / UK GDPR:
Processing your order, payment, shipping, returns, and account — Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Customer support tied to your order — Performance of a contract / Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(b), (f))
Fraud prevention, security, and improving our Services — Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f))
Marketing emails, SMS, and non-essential cookies — Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — you may withdraw at any time
Meeting legal, tax, and accounting obligations — Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c))
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have assessed that these do not override your rights and freedoms. You may object to this processing as described in Section 9.
6. How We Share Your Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. In certain circumstances, we share personal information with third parties for the legitimate purposes described in this policy. The categories of recipients include:
E-commerce and checkout platform — Shopify (operating our checkout on shop.weslamic.com) and Framer (hosting our storefront on www.weslamic.com).

Email and SMS service providers — to send transactional and marketing messages.
Professional advisers and authorities — lawyers, accountants, regulators, or law enforcement, where required to comply with the law or protect our rights.
Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or bankruptcy.
Each partner uses your information in accordance with its own privacy notice. Where you reside in a region that grants the right, you may direct us not to share your information for targeted advertising — see Section 9 and our Cookie Policy.
7. International Transfers
WESLAMIC operates globally, and your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than the one in which you live, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.
Where we transfer personal information out of the EEA or the UK, we rely on recognized transfer mechanisms such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum), or transfer to a country recognized as providing an adequate level of protection. You may request a copy of the relevant safeguards by contacting us.
8. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, including to provide the Services, maintain your account, and comply with our legal, tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution obligations. As a general guide:
Order, transaction, and invoicing records — retained for the period required by applicable tax and commercial law. [retention period, commonly 7–10 years — to be confirmed before launch]
Account information — retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period after it becomes inactive.
Marketing data — retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent, and for a short period thereafter to honor your opt-out.
Support communications — retained for a reasonable period to handle follow-up and quality assurance.
When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Global Privacy Control (GPC): If you visit our website with the Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, then, depending on where you are, we will automatically treat this as a request to opt out of the sale/sharing of personal information for the device and browser you use. To learn more, visit globalprivacycontrol.org. Other than GPC, we do not currently respond to other “Do Not Track” signals.

How to exercise your rights: Contact us using the details in Section 12. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and you may use an authorized agent where the law permits (with proof of authorization). We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
10. Children’s Privacy
The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we “share” or “sell” the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
11. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information. Card payments are handled by PCI-DSS-compliant payment providers at checkout on shop.weslamic.com. However, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Any information you send to us may not be fully secure while in transit, so we recommend you do not use unsecured channels to share sensitive information.
12. Contact Us and Complaints
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, or if you would like to exercise any of your rights, please contact us:
Email: privacy@weslamic.com
Postal address: [registered company address (same as Section 1) — to be confirmed before launch]
If you have a complaint about how we process your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In the EEA, you can find your supervisory authority via the European Data Protection Board members list. In the UK, you may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
