Privacy Policy

Our commitment

Halal Finder is built with privacy at its core. We believe you should be able to find halal food without giving up your personal data. This policy explains what we collect (very little) and what we do with it (even less).

We're proud to say: no analytics, no tracking cookies, no ad networks, no selling your data. Ever.

What we collect

We only collect what's necessary to make the app work for you:

• ●Email address — used for account authentication and secure sign-in.
• ●Account identifiers and essential session data — used to keep you signed in and connect your account state across the app and website.
• ●Saved venues — your favourites and lists, so they sync across devices.
• ●Public list content, venue suggestions, reports, and owner claim details — when you create public list names or descriptions, submit venue suggestions or reports, or start business claim onboarding, we store that content so the product can process and display it.
• ●Notification and billing state — push tokens and notification preferences when you enable alerts, plus membership and purchase-history details needed to keep account access up to date.

We collect only what is required to run the account, billing, sharing, support, and owner workflows in the product.

What we don't collect

We want to be very clear about what we don't do:

• ✕No location tracking — we do not build a background location history or sell location data. When you actively use nearby discovery, your current coordinates may be sent to the API to return local venue results.
• ✕No analytics or tracking — we don't use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or any tracking tools.
• ✕No advertising cookies — the website may use essential first-party auth/session cookies, but we do not use ad-tech or cross-site tracking cookies.
• ✕No advertising — we don't show ads and we don't share your data with advertisers.
• ✕No data selling — your data is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing.
• ✕No payment card storage — card and App Store payment details stay with the payment service. We receive membership status and purchase details, not your full card number.

Third-party services

We use a small number of trusted services to operate the app:

• ●Account sign-in — authentication and secure session management for your account. Your email and account session data are handled here.
• ●Membership services — helps us confirm membership and owner-plan status. We receive membership and purchase-history details, not your full payment card details.
• ●Payment services — website and App Store purchases are processed by trusted payment services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policies.

No other third-party services have access to your data.

Data storage & security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption via Better Auth-backed services and our application database. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. We follow security best practices to protect your information.

Data retention & deletion

You can delete your account at any time from the Profile screen in the iPhone app or from the signed-in account page on this website. A delete confirmation email from Halal Finder can also finish the request on the web confirmation page. When you delete your account, your account data is permanently removed — including your email, saved venues, lists, reports, suggestions, votes, and claim records.

You can also request account deletion by emailing [email protected] and we'll process it within 48 hours.

Children's privacy

Halal Finder is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we'll remove it promptly.

Changes to this policy

If we make changes to this policy, we'll update this page and notify you through the app. We will never change our core commitment: your data is yours, and we will never sell it.
