Last updated: September 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Halal ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our mobile application and related services.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. We aim to collect and process only the information necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the App.

1. Data Controller

The person responsible for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Policy is:

Name: Selim Yesilyurt
Email: yesilyurtselim34@gmail.com

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), may provide you with additional rights.

2. Information We Collect

The information we process depends on how you use the App and which features are available.

2.1 Information You Provide

The basic functionality of the App does not require you to provide personal information unless a particular feature explicitly requires it.

If you contact us by email, we may receive information that you voluntarily provide, including your email address, name, and the contents of your message.

2.2 Product and Ingredient Information

The App may process information relating to food products, ingredients, additives, ingredient lists, barcodes, and other product-related information in order to provide halal-related information and classifications.

Product information is generally not personal data. However, if information submitted by a user can be associated with that user, it may constitute personal data under applicable law.

2.3 Camera and Barcode Scanning

If the App provides barcode scanning or camera-based functionality, camera access is used to perform the scanning or recognition function requested by the user.

The camera is not used to identify users or for unrelated purposes.

Where technically possible, scanning and processing may be performed locally on the user's device.

2.4 Technical Information

Depending on the technologies used by the App, limited technical or diagnostic information may be processed, such as:

Such information is used only where necessary for security, diagnostics, reliability, and improvement of the App.

3. How We Use Information

Information may be processed for the following purposes:

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR applies, personal data is processed only where an applicable legal basis exists.

Depending on the circumstances, the legal basis may include:

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may use carefully selected third-party service providers where necessary to operate the App. These providers may process limited information on our behalf for purposes such as hosting, analytics, crash reporting, advertising, customer support, or other technical services.

Such providers may only process personal data in accordance with applicable agreements, instructions, and legal requirements.

6. Advertising

If advertising services are used within the App, advertising providers may process certain technical information or advertising identifiers in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable law.

Where legally required, the App will request the appropriate consent before processing personal data for personalized advertising.

7. Analytics and Diagnostics

We may use analytics or diagnostic technologies to understand how the App performs, identify technical problems, and improve reliability.

Where consent is legally required, appropriate consent will be obtained before using technologies that require consent.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Information that is no longer necessary may be deleted or anonymized where reasonably possible.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

These rights are subject to the conditions and exceptions provided by applicable law.

10. Data Deletion Requests

If you would like to request deletion of personal information associated with you, please contact us at:

yesilyurtselim34@gmail.com

We may request additional information when reasonably necessary to verify the request and protect personal data from unauthorized deletion.

11. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us.

12. International Data Transfers

Some third-party service providers may process information outside your country or outside the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate legal safeguards will be used where required by applicable data protection law.

13. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.

However, no electronic storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. Third-Party Services

The App may use third-party services to provide certain functionality, including hosting, analytics, advertising, authentication, crash reporting, payments, or other technical services.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies governing their processing of information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, applicable law, or our data-processing practices.

When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page and the "Last updated" date will be revised.
