OliveGrove is built on a combination of original ministry writing and responsibly sourced third-party datasets. This page discloses every external data source used in the system, the license under which it is used, and where it appears in the product.
OlivePress uses third-party data under each source's stated license. Original OlivePress writing, ministry commentary, study synthesis, and page design remain governed by OlivePress and Aamir Din Ministries. This registry exists for source transparency and stewardship — not as a claim of ownership over third-party material.
Where a source requires attribution, that attribution is present both on this page and discretely within the relevant surface of the product. Attribution notices are intentionally unobtrusive — they do not interrupt the study experience but are always present and permanently linked from this page and from the site footer.
