Privacy Policy
Last updated November 11, 2026
This policy covers dcmy.org, the website of DC Muslim Youth Inc. ("DCMY", "we", "us"). It explains what we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do with it. We wrote it to be read.
The short version
- We collect information only when you send it to us through the event form or have a team account.
- We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies.
- We do not sell your information or share it for marketing.
- You can ask us to show you, correct or delete what you sent.
What we collect
When you submit an event
The form asks for:
- Your school or MSA
- Your name and email address
- The event's name, date, time, location and details
- A flyer image, if you add one
- An Instagram handle to tag, if you add one
To stop spam, we also keep a scrambled (hashed) form of your internet address for a short time. We cannot turn it back into your address, and we do not store the address itself.
When you just visit
We do not set cookies for visitors, and we do not run analytics or ads. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, handles every request to the site and keeps standard technical logs to deliver pages and block abuse.
Team accounts
People on the DCMY team sign in to review submissions. For them we store a name, an email address, a protected (hashed) password, and a sign-in cookie along with the internet address and browser used to sign in.
How we use it
- To review your event and decide whether to post it
- To post the event on DCMY's social media, including Instagram
- To contact you if we have a question about your submission
- To keep the form and the site secure
What becomes public
If we post your event, the event details, the flyer, your school or MSA and the Instagram handle you gave can appear publicly. Your name and email address are for the DCMY team only. We do not publish them.
Who we share it with
We do not sell personal information. We share it only with:
- Cloudflare, which hosts the site and stores submissions and flyers for us
- Instagram and other social platforms, when we post an event there
- Authorities, if the law requires it
How long we keep it
We keep submissions for as long as they are useful for running DCMY's account and keeping a record of what was posted. You can ask us to delete yours at any time.
Young people
DCMY serves high school students, so many people who use this site are under 18. We ask for as little as we can. The site is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Parents and guardians can ask on behalf of their child. Email support@dcmy.org from the address you used on the form, or tell us which event you submitted.
Security
The site uses an encrypted connection. Submissions and flyers are private and can only be opened by signed-in members of the DCMY team. No website can promise perfect security, but we keep what we hold to a minimum.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date at the top.
