Privacy Policy
Last updated 10 July 2026 · Applies to halalfoodpass.ca and the Halal Food Pass member, partner and admin apps.
Who we are
Halal Food Pass ("we", "us") operates a dining-membership service in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
What we collect
Account & membership. Your email address (used to sign you in with one-time codes — we never store passwords), the display name you choose for your pass, your membership plan, status, member number and billing dates.
Optional profile details. If you choose to add them, your date of birth, gender and home town. These are entirely optional, used only to show you more relevant deals and offers (for example your city first, or a birthday treat), visible only to you and our team, and you can clear them at any time from your profile.
Payments. Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number; we keep your Stripe customer reference, plan, price and billing status. To prevent free-trial abuse, Stripe provides us a non-reversible card fingerprint which we store to enforce one trial per card.
Usage needed to run the service. Redemptions you record or a restaurant validates (restaurant, offer, amount saved, time), private feedback you send about a restaurant, referrals made with your link, contact-form messages, and device signals we use for security (IP address, browser type, session records). If you turn on deal alerts, we store your push-notification subscription and chosen city.
How we use it
To create and manage your membership, issue and verify your pass, compute live deal availability, process billing, prevent fraud and abuse (rate limits, block lists, one-trial-per-card), respond to your messages, and — only with your consent, in line with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) — send you marketing you can opt out of at any time. Transactional email (like login codes and billing notices) is not marketing.
Who we share it with
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we don't share it with restaurants beyond what a redemption inherently shows them at the till. We use a small number of service providers to run the service: Stripe (payments), Cloudflare (hosting, security and our database), and our transactional email provider (login codes and notices). Each processes data only on our instructions. We may disclose information if required by law.
Where it's stored & how long
Data is stored with Cloudflare and Stripe, whose infrastructure may be located outside Canada; where that's the case it is protected by contractual safeguards. We keep account data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal, accounting and fraud-prevention obligations; security and rate-limit logs are pruned on a rolling basis.
Your choices & rights
You can view and edit your name and optional profile details (or clear them) in the app, cancel your membership at any time, and unsubscribe from marketing with one click. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing us; we'll respond within 30 days. Deleting your account removes your personal information except records we must keep (for example billing records).
Cookies & similar
We use strictly necessary, first-party session cookies to keep you signed in (HttpOnly, secure). We don't run third-party advertising or tracking cookies on our sites.
Children
Halal Food Pass is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes & contact
If we make material changes to this policy we'll post the update here and, where appropriate, email members. Questions or requests: hello@halalfoodpass.ca.
