😁 What We Do NOT Collect
- We do not require accounts or registration.
- We do not run contact forms — our contact page is email-only, so you choose exactly what to share.
- Comments are disabled across the entire site, so nothing you type here is stored.
- Our calculators run entirely on your device — the numbers you enter (income, gold, savings) are never uploaded, saved on any server, or visible to us.
- We do not sell, rent or trade any personal data — ever.
🕸 Information Collected Automatically
Like nearly every website, our hosting platform (Google Blogger) automatically records standard technical information when you visit: your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, the pages you open, and the date and time of visits. This information is used to operate and secure the site.
📊 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand which guides are most read and how visitors find the site, so we can make HalalCents better. Google Analytics uses cookies (such as the _ga cookie) to distinguish visitors and collects data like pages viewed, approximate region and device type. We only ever see this data in aggregate form — we cannot identify you personally. You can block these cookies through your browser settings at any time.
🍪 Cookies and Local Storage
- Google Blogger sets essential cookies needed to serve and secure pages.
- Google Analytics sets measurement cookies (see above).
- Your preferences (such as the selected theme) and your saved guides are stored in your browser’s local storage on your own device — this data never leaves your device and is never sent to us.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Visitors from the European Economic Area may see a cookie notice served by Google (Blogger) before non-essential cookies are set.
💰 Advertising — Present and Future
HalalCents is currently an ad-free website. We do not display paid advertising at this time. We plan to keep every guide free forever, and in the future we may support the site with advertising (for example, Google AdSense). If and when that happens, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites — and this page will be updated with full details before any advertising begins. You can already opt out of personalised advertising at any time via Google Ads Settings or the industry opt-out at aboutads.info/choices.
⚖ Your Rights
- GDPR (European Economic Area & UK): you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction or deletion, restrict or object to processing, and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise any right, email us and we will respond within 30 days.
- CCPA (California): you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
🧒 Children’s Privacy
HalalCents is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (COPPA). Since we run no accounts, no forms and no comment sections, there is no way for a child to submit personal data through the site itself. If you believe a child has contacted us by email, tell us and we will delete that information promptly.
🔗 External Links
Our guides may link to external websites (such as standards bodies or scholarly sources). We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies.
🔒 Data Security
We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information. Information is used only for the purposes described in this policy. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
🖌 Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will appear on this page with a new date. Continuing to use the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
