TrackHalal

Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 6, 2026

TrackHalal helps Muslims evaluate exact packaged food items with proof-first halal screening. The app also includes optional support tools such as prayer times, nearby places, and personal logs. This policy explains what information the app handles and why.

Important: TrackHalal provides AI-assisted halal screening, not certified religious rulings. Users should verify unclear products with trusted halal authorities, manufacturers, or certification bodies.

Information we handle

Food label photos or typed ingredients that you submit for packaged-food screening and exact-pack proof records.
Approximate or precise location when you request support tools such as prayer times, qibla direction, or nearby halal places.
Scan history, pack proof history, prayer logs, meal logs, app preferences, and other entries you create inside the app.
An anonymous Firebase authentication identifier that lets the app sync your saved history without requiring a visible sign-in.
Basic product analytics through Firebase Analytics when supported on your device.

How we use data

To analyze ingredient lists and return a packaged-food proof screen.
To calculate prayer times, qibla direction, and nearby-place context when you choose those support tools.
To store and sync your personal logs and preferences.
To improve reliability, stability, and product safety.

Third-party services

TrackHalal currently uses Firebase services for app infrastructure, anonymous authentication, cloud data storage, and analytics. When AI-assisted ingredient analysis is enabled, submitted label photos or typed ingredients may be processed by one or more supported AI providers configured by the app to return scan results. If network-backed analysis is unavailable, the app may fall back to a more conservative local screening path.

Permissions

Camera or photo access: to scan food labels.
Location: to calculate prayer times, qibla direction, and nearby halal place support tools when you use them.
Notifications: to send prayer reminders if you turn them on.

Data retention

TrackHalal stores current app state on your device and may sync scan history, pack proof history, prayer logs, meal logs, and preferences to Firebase using an anonymous app identity. That cloud-backed history remains associated with the active anonymous identity used by the app unless it is deleted from our backend or the storage model changes in a future release.

Children

TrackHalal is not directed to children under 13.
