Last updated: July 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information DMV Halal Eats ("we", "us") collects when you use this website, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

• Location. If you tap "use my location," your browser shares your coordinates so we can show nearby places. If you type a city or ZIP, that text is sent to the OpenStreetMap Nominatim service to look up coordinates. We do not store your location on our servers.
• On-device preferences. Saved favorites, "I verified" marks, your chosen area, and theme are stored locally in your browser (local storage). This data stays on your device and is not sent to us.
• Messages and corrections. If you contact us, suggest a place, or report a listing, we store the information you submit. Your name and email are optional and are used only to review or reply to your message.
• We do not require an account.

Third-party services

• OpenStreetMap (Overpass & Nominatim) — provides place data, search, and geocoding. Requests include the area you're searching.
• Map tiles are served by OpenStreetMap.
• Masjid websites — community-event listings are fetched from mosques' own public calendars.
