Islamic Perspective on Privacy
Islam places great emphasis on privacy and the protection of personal information. The Quran states: "O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another." (49:12)
We are committed to upholding these Islamic values in all our data handling practices.
