HalalSnap Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

HalalSnap ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.

2. Information We Collect

Camera Access

We request camera permission to allow you to scan product ingredients and packaging for halal verification analysis. Photos are processed locally on your device and sent securely to our analysis service.

Usage Data

We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve our app, including:

• Number of scans performed
• App usage frequency
• Feature usage patterns

Feedback and Reports

If you send feedback from Settings, or tap "This looks wrong?" on a result, we store what you send so we can fix verdicts. A report contains your note and the reason you picked, the verdict and the ingredients we read for that scan, your school of thought, your region, your app language and version, your platform, and an anonymous device identifier. If you report a result, we may also keep the photo from that scan (see "Photos From Scans That Go Wrong" below).

Photos From Scans That Go Wrong

When a scan fails, when we cannot read the full ingredient list, or when you report a result as wrong, we may keep the photo from that scan. They are anonymous. We use them only to find out what went wrong, to fix it, and to improve the quality and accuracy of HalalSnap's answers, for example to check whether the app should have been able to read the label. They are stored privately, seen only by the HalalSnap team, never used for advertising, never sold or shared, and not linked to your name or account. We delete them automatically after 30 days. Photos from scans that work normally are not kept.

Product Information From Scans

When a scan reads a full ingredient list clearly, we keep a record of the product: its name, brand, ingredients and verdict, with the school of thought, market and language used. We use these records to improve answers and to publish anonymous totals. They contain no account, device identifier or photo.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Product Analysis: Camera images are used for halal ingredient analysis
• Error Analysis: Photos from scans that fail or that you report are used only to find and fix errors, then deleted after 30 days
• Service Improvement: Usage data helps us enhance the app experience
• Notifications: Weekly reminders for credit refreshes (with your permission)

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Supabase infrastructure with encryption. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties except:

• For halal analysis processing (anonymous image data only)
• When required by law
• To protect our rights and safety

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your data
• Delete your account and data
• Opt out of notifications
• Revoke camera permissions

8. Children's Privacy

Our app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes through the app or other communication methods.
