Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Siraat ("we", "us", "our") is a platform that helps Muslims discover halal restaurants, mosques, and Islamic services. Our website is www.siraat.io.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Account details (name, email address, password) when you register.
• Profile information such as a display name or profile photo.
• Reviews, ratings, and photos you submit for places.
• Reports or feedback you send us.

Information collected automatically

• Location data — with your permission, to show nearby places and prayer times. We do not store your precise location on our servers.
• Usage data — pages visited, search queries, and interactions, collected via analytics to improve the service.
• Device & log data — IP address, browser type, and error logs for security and debugging.

3. How we use your information

• To provide and personalise the Siraat service.
• To display your reviews and contributions publicly on the platform.
• To send transactional emails (e.g. password reset, account verification).
• To improve our features through aggregated, anonymised analytics.
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted third parties (e.g. hosting, analytics, email delivery) who process data on our behalf under data processing agreements.
• Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
• Business transfers — in the event of a merger or acquisition, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Data retention

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

6. Your rights

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

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Data portability (receive a copy of your data in a structured format).
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@siraat.io.

7. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the site.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures (HTTPS, encrypted storage, access controls) to protect your data. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's privacy

Siraat is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice on the site or emailing you. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
