Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 26, 2026

HalalMapp ("we," "us," or "our") operates the HalalMapp mobile application and website at halalmapp.com (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.

1. Information we collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and, if you use Google Sign-In, basic profile information provided by Google (such as your name and profile picture).
  • Location data: With your permission, we collect your device's location to show nearby halal restaurants on the map. You can disable location access in your device settings.
  • User content: Reviews, photos, halal reports, favorites, and other content you submit through the app.
  • Business information: If you claim a restaurant listing, we collect business details you provide, including verification documents.
  • Payment information: Business subscription payments are processed by third-party providers (Stripe on web, Apple App Store, or Google Play on mobile). We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.
  • Usage data: Information about how you interact with the Service, such as pages viewed, features used, and device type.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and app version for security and diagnostics.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
  • Display halal restaurants on the map based on your location
  • Enable reviews, favorites, halal reports, and coupon features
  • Process business subscriptions and manage restaurant dashboards
  • Authenticate your account and prevent fraud
  • Send service-related communications (such as account or security notices)
  • Respond to support requests
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Third-party services

We use trusted third-party services to operate HalalMapp, including:

  • Supabase — authentication, database, and file storage
  • Google Maps / Google Places — map display and restaurant data
  • Stripe — web subscription payments for business accounts
  • RevenueCat — mobile subscription management
  • Apple App Store / Google Play — mobile app distribution and in-app purchases

These providers process data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies. Map and location features require sharing location data with Google when you use those features.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

  • With service providers who help us operate the Service (under confidentiality obligations)
  • When you choose to make content public (such as reviews or halal reports visible to other users)
  • To comply with law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
  • To protect the rights, safety, and security of HalalMapp, our users, or the public
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice where required)

5. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request account deletion through the app or by contacting us. Some information may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention).

6. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, contact us at halalmapp@gmail.com. You can also delete your account from within the app settings.

7. Children's privacy

HalalMapp is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

9. International transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to facilities and service providers located outside your country of residence, where data protection laws may differ.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
