Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 26, 2026

Mawaid (“we,” “us”) connects people planning events with halal caterers on mawaidnj.com and in the Mawaid app. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Account information.When you create an account — with an email and password, or by continuing with Google — we store your name and email address. If you sign up with email and password, we store a securely hashed version of your password; we never store or have access to the password itself. If you sign in with Google, we don’t receive or store your Google password.

Caterer profile information. If you list a catering business, we store what you provide for your public listing: business name, description, service areas, guest count range, price range, halal certification details, contact email and phone, and photos.

Booking information. If you request a booking, we store the event details you provide — event type, date, guest count, town, budget range, and any notes — along with a phone number if you choose to add one, so an accepted caterer can reach you.

Push notification tokens.If you enable notifications in the app, we store a device token used to deliver booking and status updates. This token doesn’t identify you beyond your own account and isn’t used for advertising.

We don’t use analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts, and we don’t collect your device’s location.

How we use information

We use the information above to:

  • Create and maintain your account and sign you in
  • Show published caterer listings to people searching the marketplace
  • Send booking requests to caterers and status updates to buyers
  • Deliver push notifications you’ve enabled
  • Respond to support requests

How we share information

A caterer’s published listing (business details, service areas, photos) is public and visible to anyone browsing Mawaid. A buyer’s booking details and contact information are shared only with the specific caterer that booking was sent to, once that caterer accepts the request.

We use a small number of service providers to run Mawaid, who process information on our behalf: Google (sign-in), Apple and Firebase (push notification delivery), Vercel (application hosting), and Supabase (database hosting). We don’t sell your information, and we don’t share it with anyone else for their own marketing purposes.

Data retention

We keep account and booking information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your personal information within a reasonable time, except where we’re required to retain it for legal or accounting reasons.

Your choices

  • You can update your caterer listing or booking details at any time while signed in.
  • You can turn off push notifications in your device’s system settings.
  • You can request that we delete your account and associated data by contacting us below.

Children’s privacy

Mawaid is intended for adults planning or providing catering services. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Security

We use industry-standard practices — including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and hashed password storage — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information appropriately.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we’ll update the date at the top of this page.
