Ar-Raheem Academy (Darul Uloom Boston), 197 Pleasant St, Marlborough, MA 01752. Version v1.0, in force from 2026-07-31. This notice explains what we ask for when you register a child online, why we ask for it, who can see it, and how long we keep it.
What we collect, and why each thing is needed
| What | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Your name | To know who the parent or guardian is |
| Your email address | To send your confirmation and to contact you about the programs |
| Your phone number | To reach you quickly, especially about your child |
| Your home address | To know where the family lives, for school records |
| An emergency contact (optional) | Someone else to call if we cannot reach you |
| Each child's name | To enrol the child |
| Each child's date of birth | To check the minimum age and to place the child correctly |
| Each child's programs | To enrol the child and to work out the monthly fee |
That is the whole list for registering. We deliberately do not ask on this form about health conditions, allergies, medication, special educational needs, or anything about your home circumstances. If the school needs any of that later, it will ask you separately, and it will explain why.
If you later ask us about a refund, that separate form asks for your name and contact details, which child and program it is about, and what happened. It says so on the page, and asks you not to include medical details there either.
Who can see it
- Authorised school staff only.
- Never other families. The registration system is built so that no parent can read any registration, including their own, through the website. Only school staff, through school systems, can see registration records.
- We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for advertising.
Where it is stored
On Google Firebase (Google Cloud), in the United States. Google stores it for us; the school decides what happens to it.
Payments
Fees are collected through Stripe. When you pay, you are on Stripe's own pages: your card or bank details go to Stripe, and the school never sees or stores them. The school is the seller, so refunds are the school's responsibility — see the refund and withdrawal policy. On your statement the payment appears as AR-RAHEEM ACADEMY.
We do not put your children's names into Stripe.
How long we keep it
- A registration you started but never completed: deleted after 90 days. The family record and children's details created by that registration are deleted with it.
- A registration that becomes a real enrolment: kept as a school record. We keep your family details so you can register again next year without typing everything in again.
- A family with no registration for 3 years: reviewed and deleted.
- A refund request: kept for 6 months after you send it, then deleted. It holds your name, your contact details, the child's name if you gave it, and what you wrote — so the office can deal with your request and keep a record of what was decided.
- A record that you gave permission (which version of this notice, on which date — with no names in it): kept longer than the registration itself, because it is the school's evidence that permission was given.
Your choices
You can ask the school at any time to:
- tell you what we hold about your family;
- correct anything that is wrong;
- delete your family's information.
Contact the school office, Br. AbdulMalik (508) 380-4459, or Br. Isa (617) 429-3506.
If you ask us to delete your information, we will — but we may not be able to keep offering a place, and we may have to keep some records that the law requires us to keep.
Children
This form is filled in by a parent or guardian, not by a child. We only collect what we need about a child in order to enrol them.
Changes to this notice
If this notice changes, the version number changes with it, and the school records which version each family agreed to.
Approved by the Principal on 2026-07-27; in force from 2026-07-31. Not legal advice — the school confirms the wording it publishes.
