How we use cookies

When you access Al Quds University Friends’& Fundraising unit website, in order to track how our website is used, we may place small data files called "cookies" on your computer.

We send a "session cookie" to your computer when you log in to your account.

Once you log out or close your browser, this cookie expires and no longer has any effect.

How we protect and store personal information

Throughout this policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not identify a specific user.

We do not receive your payment card number, but we forward your request to a trusted agency,

responsible on such kind of this operation and they will protect it by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Standards as defined by the major international card scheme providers, including Visa and MasterCard. They use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption.

How we use the personal information we collect

We may use your personal information to:

  • Provide services and customer support if necessary.
  • Solving disputes and troubleshoot problems.
  • Prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities


We work with merchants to enable them to accept payments from using the Al-Quds University Friends & Fundraising unit. Notwithstanding this, we will not disclose your debit or credit card number or bank account number to anyone you have paid.

How we share personal information with other parties

We may only share your personal information under exceptional situation such as the need being requested by Law enforcement, government departments, court order or similar legal procedure. We need to do so to comply with law in the Palestinian Authority. We believe in good faith that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity.
