What information do we collect and how do we use it?

When you order, we need to know your name, email address, mailing address, credit card number, and credit card expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status.
We may personalize your shopping experience by using your purchases and site behavior to shape our recommendations about the books, CDs, and other merchandise that might be of interest to you. We also monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop the design and layout of the site.
We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the web site, new Dar-us-Salam services, and special offers we think you'll find valuable.

How does Dar-us-Salam protect customer information?

Dar-us-Salam uses the latest encryption technology to keep your personal information safe. All your ordering information -- including your name, address, and credit card number -- is encrypted using a secure server for maximum security. Your credit card and billing information cannot be read as it travels to our ordering system. To ensure that your information is even more secure, once we receive your credit card information, we store it on a server that isn't accessible from the Internet. In the unlikely event that you are subject to fraudulent charges, remember to notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures and then notify us.

Credit card transactions are handled by a third-party financial institution, which receives the credit card number and other personal identifying information only to verify the credit card numbers and process transactions. If you feel more comfortable doing so, you are welcome to call in your credit card information and complete your purchase by phone. Please call (713) 722-0419 or fax your card info to (713) 722-0431 after you have placed your order via the check method.

How does Dar-us-Salam allow customers to update or change the information it collects?

Will Dar-us-Salam disclose the information it collects to outside parties?

What is your policy if I link to a third-party web site?
