Privacy Policy for HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd.

Effective Date: October 29, 2024

At HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd. ("we," "us," "our"), the privacy of our customers is of paramount concern, and we are dedicated to maintaining transparency and control for individuals who engage with our services, whether directly or indirectly. This Privacy Policy describes, in greater detail, the practices we employ concerning the collection, usage, and handling of personal data that individuals may provide when they access, purchase, or interact with any aspect of our service offerings. Please read this policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal information.

1. Information We Collect and Receive
   We collect various categories of information in a number of contexts and via multiple channels to improve our understanding and ability to offer services tailored to customer needs. This information includes, but is not necessarily limited to, personally identifiable data, such as your full name, residential and/or business address, email address, phone number, payment details, and occasionally other types of information that may identify you as an individual.
   Additionally, we may gather data provided to us during other interactions, including but not limited to, communication with our support team, use of our website, or feedback that you offer, whether solicited or unsolicited. By voluntarily providing this data, you consent to its collection, processing, and usage in accordance with this policy.
2. Use of Information and Intended Purpose
   The data we collect plays a significant role in maintaining and enhancing the quality of our services, enabling the precise and accurate processing of your orders, verifying and charging payment methods as needed, responding to inquiries, and generally optimizing the customer experience. Furthermore, information may be utilized to advance our marketing strategies and refine our overall service offerings. We may conduct analytical assessments and other forms of internal research, which can inform broader business decisions, but which remain solely within the purview of HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd.
   Though we leverage this data to tailor communications, marketing materials, and service recommendations, we do not make this information available to external parties for independent use in any capacity, except as required to support our core business functions as previously described.
3. Data Sharing and Third-Party Engagement
   Our commitment to confidentiality extends to our data-sharing practices; we do not sell or distribute personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. However, as necessary, and only within the bounds of our operational requirements, we may engage certain third-party service providers who handle specific components of our service delivery, such as order fulfillment, financial transactions, and data storage. These third parties operate within the scope of service agreements, ensuring that personal data remains protected and used strictly in ways that are essential to executing services on behalf of HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd.
   Additionally, aggregated data, devoid of any personally identifying details, may occasionally be used for analytical, research, or marketing purposes in a manner that is non-attributable to any specific individual.
4. User Rights Concerning Data Access and Control
   Customers retain the right to request, review, update, or erase their personal information retained by HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd. upon formal request. Such requests will be accommodated within a reasonable timeframe, subject to applicable legal requirements and processing limitations. By contacting our customer support team via support@halalmeals.ca, individuals can exercise these rights, although it should be noted that certain data may be retained in accordance with archival, security, or compliance protocols.
5. Data Retention Policy
   The duration for which we maintain customer data depends largely on the intended use and relevance to our ongoing business operations. While we reserve the right to retain information indefinitely, such data is periodically assessed to ascertain its continued relevance and, where necessary, is deactivated or anonymized as part of our broader data management strategies. We are committed to minimizing the usage of any data deemed outdated or irrelevant; however, some archival retention may still be warranted to fulfill regulatory, legal, or business requirements.
6. Security Protocols and Safeguarding Measures
   The security of personal data is taken seriously within HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd., and, as such, we have implemented a multifaceted approach to information security. Our database structure and hosting are provided through platforms designed with advanced security protocols, ensuring the integrity and safety of stored data. Encryption techniques are selectively applied within the application to protect sensitive data, such as payment details and personal identification, while access controls limit exposure to authorized personnel only.
   Despite these precautions, it is important to acknowledge that no security infrastructure is entirely infallible; however, HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd. continuously evaluates and refines its security practices to guard against foreseeable risks.
7. Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies
   Tour website and digital platforms employ cookies and a range of tracking mechanisms, including those provided by third-party analytics services, to gather insights into visitor behavior and preferences. Cookies enable the personalization of customer experiences, informing our product recommendations, advertising, and other marketing efforts. By using our services, you consent to the use of these tracking technologies; however, you may adjust your browser settings to manage or block cookies if preferred.
