Privacy notice
This page explains what happens when you share your details with us through the sign-up form — in plain language. It is a real privacy notice under UK GDPR.
Who we are
Sanad is a research tool for UK financial advisers, currently in development. This notice covers the sign-up form on this site only. "We" means the team building Sanad. The quickest way to reach us is sanad@amanah.finance.
What we collect
Only what the form asks.
Required, to save your place: your name, work email, firm or trading name, role, authorisation status (directly authorised or part of a network, plus the network name if you choose it), roughly how many Shariah-client cases you advised in the last 12 months, and your consent tick.
Optional, all your choice: the platforms you use, how you research funds today, which DFMs or model portfolios you have used for Shariah clients, whether you have referred away or turned down a Shariah client, your biggest research challenge, preferred payment model and price range, a phone number if you would like a feedback call, and whether you want the guides and the call.
Technical: a security cookie ("sg") that keeps your sign-up session open for 24 hours so you can finish the optional questions and reach your guide links. It contains no marketing trackers. This site also uses privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics that count page views in aggregate — they do not identify you.
How we use it
Three things only: to save your place on the founding-adviser list, to give you the two free guides, and to send you occasional updates about Sanad or invitations to founding-adviser activities such as feedback calls and early pilots.
The lawful basis is your consent — the tick on the form. Withdraw it any time by emailing us and we will remove your details. For now, nothing is emailed automatically: your guide links appear on screen straight after sign-up. If email delivery starts later, we will use your address only for the purposes above.
Where it lives
Submissions are stored privately on Vercel's UK/EU infrastructure, accessible only to the team building Sanad. We do not sell your data, share it for anyone else's marketing, or profile you for advertising.
How long we keep it
Until you ask us to remove your details or the founding-adviser list closes — whichever comes first. Ask, and we delete promptly.
Your rights
You can ask to see your details, correct them, delete them, restrict or object to their use, or take a copy elsewhere — email sanad@amanah.finance and we will act on it. You can also complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this notice
If anything here changes, we will update this page and the date below. Material changes will be flagged on the sign-up form itself.
