2. What Is Personal Information?

“Personal Information” is broadly defined to include all information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual. Personal Information could be as simple and direct as your name, but it could also be less explicit like how a certain individual interacted with a website or an advertisement.

3. Your Privacy Rights on this Site and App

Islam establishes that Privacy is a basic and sacred human right. As a Muslim company leading a Muslim dating app, we seek to further these rights. Islam does not make this right to Privacy contingent on where you live. Rather, this right is available to everyone.

4. What Personal Information do we collect and why?

Please differentiate our Site and our App. Our Site does not collect your Personal Information, and accordingly does not use cookies or device identifiers, which are also discussed below. Our Site is exclusively used for informational purposes: to apprise you of our Services. Our App is where the magic happens.

The Amirazz App is a matchmaking service. It goes without saying that we can’t match you if we don’t know anything about you.
Accordingly, we need to collect your Personal Information for the following purposes:

To facilitate our Match-Making Services, we require the following information:

  • Username (Nickname): You will also create a username / nickname that will identify you. This is shared with other members.

  • Date of Birth: Your date of birth will be shared with other members to help them determine if they want to connect you.
  • Photos: Your photos will be displayed on your account profile for other members to see.
  • Email and Phone Numbers: Your email and phone number will not be shared with anyone. Our purpose with the email and phone number is to communicate with you and provide an initial authentication code. You may also login with Facebook.
  • Geolocation: We ask for your location to pair you with members in your area.
  • Gender Identity: We use your gender identity as determined by Islamic Rules to base our Services around you because some features are based on gender. Your gender will be shared with other members.
  • Marital Status: Your marital status will be shared with members so that they may know your status and proceed with the decision on how to approach you.
  • Employment- and Education-related Information: Your highest level of education and current salary grade will be shown to other members to facilitate the matchmaking process.
  • To purchase services that we offer to assist with the match-making services noted above. We do not store your financial information, rather we use a payment processor (Stripe) who will collect your financial information and us it to process the transactions on behalf of the us. Please look at Stripe’s privacy policy / notice for more details on how they protect, use, and store your Personal Information.
  • When you sign in with social media: You may choose to enable, log into, or sign on to the Services through Facebook.

For example, when you log in with your Facebook credentials, with your consent, we may collect Personal Information from your Facebook profile that is permitted under Facebook’s Terms of Use – such as your email address, profile picture, and friend list. We use this data to provide, enhance, and personalize the Services (e.g., to help connect you with or suggest friends within our Services). If you do not want to provide us with this data, you need to adjust the privacy settings on your Facebook account.
  • To communicate with you, regarding offers and promotions that may be of interest to you or any updates to the Terms, this Notice, or the Services.

(a) Decisions made automatically

Automated decision-making is an invisible feature that we use to improve our Services and help you find a partner through halal dating. We use these features for two reasons:

First, to help you find a partner. We use your Personal Information provided to us to power our matching algorithm, which matches you with other members we believe are compatible with you. We also use this process to match you to other members. However, you may override our automated decisions by manually changing the filters. For example, you may modify your location, education, and hobby filters to generate new matches.

Second, to promote safety. As part of our moderation efforts, we automate decisions to make it easier to find illegal and unauthorized actions and to try to prevent them before they happen. Sometimes automated decisions may lead to suspension or account closure.

(b) Marketing Communications

Where we are legally required to do so, we ask you for your prior consent before providing you with promotional materials or information (referred to as “Commercial Electronic Messages, or “CEM”s). You may withdraw your consent to the receipt of CEMs at any time. This will not affect the processing of your Personal Information in relation to our Services.

(c) Cookies and Device Identifiers

We do not use “cookies” or device identifiers.

(d) Site Usage Information

Our Site or App currently does not gather traffic patterns, usage information and other aggregated data. However, we may in the future use such information to evaluate our visitors’ preferences and the effectiveness of our Site and App. We may also allow third parties to collect aggregate data through our Site or App. In either case, this aggregate usage data would not identify you individually.

(e) Do Not Track Requests

We do not track you over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising. Accordingly, we do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.

5. How We Collect Personal Information

The Personal Information that we collect varies depending on the nature of and reason for your interaction with us. We collect Personal Information:

11. Your Rights to Access, Portability, and to be Forgotten

(a) Your Right to Access

The disclosure of information will be provided to you free of cost.

  • would disclose Personal Information of another individual or of a deceased individual;
  • is subject to legal privilege;
  • is personal health information that was not provided to us directly by the individual requesting access;

(b) Updating or Correcting Your Information

You may in most cases correct or update your Personal Information by accessing your Account directly, or by instructing us to do so on your behalf.

(c) Your Right to Data Portability

If we provided you access to your Personal Information, we will provide it to you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. If you made your request electronically, we would provide access in electronic form unless you request otherwise. Your request may also be delivered by mail. This format will be, to the extent technically feasible, in a readily useable format that allows you to transmit this information to another entity without hindrance.

(d) Data Retention and the Right to be Forgotten

We do not hold onto your data forever. Instead, our default is to retain your Personal Information:

  • until it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
  • to comply with legal obligations (such as retention obligations under employment, tax or commercial laws); or until you request that we delete it.

If you make a deletion request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless we or our Service Providers must retain your Personal Information to:

  • complete the enquiry for which your Personal Information was collected, provide a service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;
  • detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
  • enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us; comply with any legal obligation; or, make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
