Privacy notice
The short version: you give us your details so we can invite you to things. We use them for that, we keep them safe, and we never sell them.
Who we are
Safa Network is a community network for Muslim professionals, business owners and community members across Wales and beyond, based in Cardiff. We are responsible for the details you give us. You can reach us through the contact details on this website.
What we collect
When you register we collect:
- your name, email address and phone number
- whether you’re a brother or sister, and your age range
- your town or city and your profession
- if you choose to tell us, your sector, your company, the events you’d be interested in and when suits you
- where you found us, such as the QR code at the Expo
- the date and time you agreed to hear from us
Why we collect it
- To send you invitations and updates about our events, by email and occasionally by text.
- To plan the right events for the people on our list. We look at age range, location, profession and interests across the whole list, for example to shape an event for early-career professionals.
- To manage places and entry at events you book.
Our legal basis
We rely on your consent, which you give by ticking the box when you register, to keep you on our list and to send you invitations and updates. You can withdraw it at any time with the unsubscribe link in any email, by replying STOP to a text, or by contacting us.
Because Safa Network is a network for Muslim professionals, being on our list may indicate your religion, which the law treats as special category data. Your consent covers this too, and it is one more reason we keep your details within the organising team and our email provider.
Planning events around the list as a whole, and managing places at events you book, rely on our legitimate interest in running events that suit the people who come.
Who can see it
Only the Safa Network organising team. We use Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, based in France) to store our list and send emails and texts; they process your details on our behalf and under contract. We never sell your details or share them with anyone for their own marketing.
If you have your name written in calligraphy at one of our stands and it isn't on our list of common names, we send the name you typed, and nothing else, to Anthropic's Claude to suggest how it is spelled in Arabic. We don't store the names we write.
How long we keep it
For as long as you are on our list. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your details, we remove them within 30 days, keeping only a note of your email so we don't contact you again.
Your rights
You can ask to see the details we hold about you, correct them, delete them, or object to how we use them. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your details, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
