This privacy policy explains how Toronto Halal Food collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our halal food directory. Because we value your trust, we keep this policy plain and specific.
Information we collect
- Business information — Owners and community members submit restaurant names, addresses, cuisine types, hours, and halal status. We publish this information publicly so visitors can find halal food across the GTA.
- Basic analytics — We use Google Analytics to understand anonymous, aggregated usage patterns, for example which pages visitors read most and how they find the site.
- Usage data — Your browser sends some data automatically, such as IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to power analytics and to improve your browsing experience. For example, Google Analytics sets cookies to collect anonymous traffic data. If you want to limit cookies, you can block or delete them in your browser settings at any time; however, doing so does not affect your ability to browse the directory. For more details, see Google’s privacy policy.
Embedded third-party content
Some pages embed third-party services, such as Google Maps for listing locations. When you interact with a map, for example, the service may collect data like your approximate location. Because we do not control those services, their own privacy policies apply.
How we use information
- We publish and maintain the halal food directory.
- We help visitors find halal restaurants, butchers, and grocery stores near them.
- We improve the directory, fix errors, and add new features.
We do not sell your data
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data with third parties. In addition, we do not run advertising networks that build profiles of our visitors.
Data retention
We keep listing submissions as long as the listing stays published. Analytics data, in addition, follows the analytics provider’s standard retention settings.
Your rights
Because business owners control their own listings, they can request updates or removals at any time. If you have questions about the data we hold, want something corrected, or want a listing removed, contact us at torontohalalfood26@gmail.com or through our contact page, and we will respond promptly.
Children’s privacy
The directory serves a general audience, so we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we post changes on this page, your continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy. Also see our terms of use for submission rules and acceptable use.
