UmmahBuzz is operated by Ummah Media Group LLC, a US-based company. Our privacy posture is simple: we don't sell your data, and no third party tracks you here - no Google Analytics, no ad-network cookies. UmmahBuzz does run UMG's own first-party system that links your reading activity to your UmmahPass profile across our sites, used to improve the product - it's fully disclosed, and you can turn it off (which deletes the profile, not just future collection) in your UmmahPass privacy settings.
If you sign up for the newsletter (the form on the homepage, about, submit, or search pages), we collect your email address, how often you asked for it ("as it happens" or "weekly digest"), and which page you signed up on. This is double opt-in by design: a fresh signup is stored unconfirmed and is never sent anything until it's confirmed. As of this writing, we haven't turned on newsletter sending yet - including the confirmation email itself - so a signup today receives no mail at all; it's just recorded, waiting. Once sending is on, every newsletter email will carry a one-click unsubscribe link (no login required), and we will not use tracking pixels to see whether you opened or clicked it. If you unsubscribe, we keep your address on file only to remember not to email you again (suppression) - email salaam@ummahbuzz.com if you'd rather we deleted it outright.
When you sign in to UmmahBuzz with UmmahPass, we receive your UmmahPass user ID, screenname, and (if scope granted) email. We don't request anything else. See the ecosystem privacy policy for the full policy that governs your UmmahPass account and every UMG site - including the complete list of sites that run the first-party system described above.
UmmahBuzz aggregates headlines and excerpts from third-party publishers (Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, IslamicFinder, etc.) via their public RSS/Atom feeds. We link back to the original source on every story. We don't republish full articles. Copyright belongs to the original publishers.
UmmahBuzz is intended for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
UmmahBuzz is part of the UmmahCity ecosystem and runs on a shared UmmahPass account. This site loads the UmmahPass behavioral tracking script, which links your activity across UMG sites to a profile you can turn off and erase at any time in your UmmahPass privacy settings.
Everything ecosystem-wide - the full description of that system and its off-switch, our self-hosted analytics, payments, security, data deletion, and the complete list of what we will never do - lives in one canonical policy at ummah.city/privacy, which governs this site too. This page covers only what is specific to UmmahBuzz; the canonical policy and this page's site-specific facts together are the whole truth.
