Privacy

Timbuktu Books is part of Dar al-Turath al-Islami (DTI). This notice explains how DTI handles information for book enquiries and orders.

Enquiries

Enquiry links prepare a message on your device. DTI receives it only when you send it through WhatsApp or email. Please avoid including identity documents, bank-login details or other sensitive information that the shop does not need. Those services handle messages under their own terms.

Orders and payments

Checkout records your contact details, ordered items, collection or delivery choice, and delivery address where needed. DTIMS processes payment and fulfilment records for authorised staff. PayFast handles payment; this website does not collect card details. DTI shares the information needed to fulfil and support your order with the relevant staff and service providers, including the courier for delivery.

Keep your order reference and private tracking link safe. A private tracking credential may be kept in browser tab session storage to retrieve your order status. A saved cart or order acknowledgement is not proof of payment.

Storage and records

Book-cart choices may be stored in your browser to keep them available on the same device. The hosting service may process technical information, including IP addresses and request logs, to deliver and secure the website. This release adds no DTI analytics or advertising cookies.

DTI uses information to respond, fulfil and support orders, and maintain relevant administrative and financial records. It does not sell personal information. Records are kept only as long as needed for those purposes and applicable record-keeping duties.

Your choices

Contact admin@daralturath.co.za about access, correction, deletion or a privacy concern. DTI may need to verify your identity. Available rights and limits depend on applicable law. See the Information Regulator for further information.
