How HalalFind manages, safeguards, and publishes user profile data and verified business directory details.

User Profiles & Account Security

When you register as a user on HalalFind, we collect information essential to personalization and authentication, such as your name, email address, password hashes, and profile settings. We employ industry-standard encryption protocols to secure credentials. Users retain absolute autonomy over their accounts and can modify, export, or request permanent deletion of their profile data directly via their settings dashboard.

Business Listing Information

For merchants submitting listings to our directory, we process corporate data including business name, location parameters, operating hours, and relevant Halal certifications. This data is displayed publicly to assist our community. However, sensitive confirmation data, owner credentials, and verification logs remain securely restricted and are never sold or shared with external analytics companies.

Maps & Cookies

Geolocation Services

To provide accurate search results and guide you to nearby halal establishments, we utilize real-time geolocation services. This location data is processed locally on your device and is not saved or transmitted to our servers without your active permission.

Cookie Usage Policy

We use small data files called cookies to secure our services, remember your filtering preferences, and run basic performance analytics. Here is how they break down:

Third-Party Services

To ensure secure, high-performance hosting and robust user experiences, we coordinate with trusted infrastructure and platform partners. Explore our verified integrations below.

WordPress & Gravatar

When you engage with our platform, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify if you are a user. Upon approval of your interaction, your profile picture becomes visible to the public within the context of your platform activity.

Hostinger International

Our platform's servers, databases, and assets are hosted via secure architecture managed by Hostinger. They process technical logging, diagnostic metrics, and access tracking parameters essential to guarantee stable connections, identify network risks, and block malicious login efforts.

Security & Site Optimization

We partner with CDN operators, automated security firewalls, and cache managers to maintain fast delivery speeds and safeguard users against cyber attacks. All diagnostic details are securely filtered, ensuring minimal scope of processing.

Your Safeguards

Your Rights & Security

We believe in full transparency and robust data privacy. Under our strict policy compliance, you maintain complete control over how your halal search data and profile are handled, backed by modern corporate-grade security frameworks.

Right of Access & Portability

Request a comprehensive transcript of all personal details and interaction metrics associated with your account in a machine-readable format.

Correction & Absolute Erasure

Keep your listings and metrics accurate. Correct outdated profiles or utilize your 'right to be forgotten' to permanently purge all identifiers.

End-to-End Database Security

SSL/TLS data transit, isolated containerized databases, and strict system-level firewalls protect user identities from external vulnerabilities.
