Overview
The Ethiopian Zakat & Awqaf Commission (“EZAC”, “we”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website, calculator, and donation services.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, contact details, and the figures you enter to calculate or pay Zakat. Where you make a payment, our regulated payment partners process your transaction details on our behalf.
We also collect limited technical information, such as device and usage data, to operate and secure the service.
How we use your information
We use your information to calculate your obligation, process and reconcile payments, verify beneficiaries, issue receipts, and report on impact. We do not sell your personal information.
Verification & national ID
Beneficiary verification may use Fayda national ID integration to confirm eligibility and prevent fraud. Identity data is handled under strict access controls and used only for verification and disbursement.
Data security & retention
We apply technical and organisational safeguards to protect your data, and retain it only as long as necessary for the purposes above or as required by law and audit obligations.
Your rights & contact
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and audit requirements. To exercise these rights or ask questions about this policy, please contact our support team.
