SALATIO PRIVACY POLICY
Salatio LLC (“Salatio,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides a Muslim-focused discovery, directory, and information platform that helps Users discover Businesses, professional services, nonprofit and community organizations, mosques, prayer spaces, events, and other relevant resources. Salatio also provides Vendors with tools to claim, create, and manage one or more Business Profiles, respond to reviews, access available dashboard features, and manage information associated with their Businesses.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information from Users and Vendors.
By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information.

Any reviews, ratings, comments, event submissions, Vendor responses, or other public-facing content submitted through the App may be visible to other Users and should not include sensitive personal information.
If you report a review, rating, Vendor conduct, Business, Business Profile, mosque, event, User, or other content, we may collect the report reason, description, screenshots or supporting materials, related account information, timestamps, and moderation history. We use this information to enforce our policies, prevent abuse, investigate complaints, and improve platform safety.

If you submit a mosque not currently listed in the App, we collect:
Mosque name

Optional notes or prayer schedule
Your email or User ID for verification and spam prevention
Your identity is not displayed publicly on mosque submissions.

organizer contact information
related links or social media information
Submitted events may appear publicly within the App and may be reviewed for compliance with Salatio policies.
Salatio may charge a fee to submit, post, promote, or publish certain commercial events on the Platform. Any such fee is a listing or promotional fee paid to Salatio and is separate from any ticket price, admission fee, registration fee, or other amount charged by the event organizer to attendees.
Payments to Salatio for commercial event listings or promotional features may be processed through secure third-party payment providers. Salatio does not store full payment card information.
Salatio does not sell event tickets, collect attendee registration fees, process payments between event organizers and attendees, or guarantee event admission unless Salatio expressly states otherwise.

Analytics & Usage Insights
We collect usage analytics and engagement information to operate, improve, secure, and monetize the Platform. This may include how Users interact with listings, searches, maps, Business Profiles, events, favorites, reviews, promotions, and other App features.
Analytics may include:
searches performed
listings viewed
feature usage
engagement with Business Profiles or events
favorites or saves
interaction trends across the platform
clicks, saves, or views related to listings or promotions
We may share anonymized and aggregated analytics with Vendors to help them understand general engagement trends relating to one or more Business Profiles they are authorized to manage, such as:
profile views
search visibility
customer engagement trends
general audience activity
listing engagement
Analytics may be provided for an individual Business Profile, across multiple Business Profiles associated with the same Vendor Account, or both, depending on the features available through Salatio.
These analytics:
do not identify individual Users
do not include personal contact information
are combined with broader usage data before being shared
are used to help Vendors understand general platform engagement
Salatio does not sell User data, does not share individual User identities with Vendors, and does not disclose personalized User activity to Vendors.
Where required by law or platform rules, Salatio will provide applicable privacy choices, consent prompts, or opt-out mechanisms. Certain technical, security, fraud prevention, operational, and aggregated analytics may be collected as necessary to provide, improve, secure, and monetize the App.
We currently use services such as Google Analytics and similar analytics providers to support these functions.
1.3 Location Information
Salatio may collect precise GPS location to provide location-based features, including mosque proximity, nearby Business results, nearby prayer spaces or events, location-based recommendations, accurate prayer times, route-related suggestions, trip features, and map-related services.
Location access is optional. If you deny location access, you may still use the App’s default features, but some location-based features may not work properly.
While Using the App
When you grant location permission while using the App, Salatio may use your location to show nearby mosques, Businesses, prayer spaces, events, route options, and other location-based services.
Travel Mode and Background Location
Background location tracking is only activated if you explicitly enable “Travel Mode” and grant “Always” location permission through your device settings.
When Travel Mode is active, Salatio may collect location updates in the background to support trip-related features, route history, prayer-time alerts, nearby mosque or Business alerts, smart notifications, and audio alerts during your trip.
Background location access stops when the trip is canceled or when the App is killed or closed. While Travel Mode is active, Salatio is designed to collect background location updates at efficient intervals, such as approximately every 1 kilometer or every 10 minutes, depending on device settings, operating system limitations, network conditions, and App functionality.
Location Syncing and Trip History
When the App is opened, Salatio may sync your location to our secure database only if there has been a significant change from your last recorded position.
If you use Travel Mode or trip-related features, Salatio may store travel routes, trip locations, and related trip history in our secure database to provide you with a history of your journeys and to support App features such as travel logs, route history, trip personalization, and related notifications.
You may manage location permissions at any time through your device settings. Disabling location permissions may limit or disable certain App features, including Travel Mode, nearby search, route-based recommendations, prayer-time location accuracy, and trip history features.
1.4 Map, Search, and Navigation Information
We use the Google Maps API to show maps and search results inside the App.
For A→B directions, the App deep-links to Google Maps at which point Google's privacy policy applies.
1.5. How We Use User Information
We use your information to:
Create and maintain your account
Provide Business, mosque, prayer space, event, and other supported listings
Generate accurate prayer times
Display Business Profiles
Improve App performance
Personalize your content and recommendations
Enable reviews and ratings
Customize notifications and preferences
Review mosque submissions for accuracy, spam prevention, safety, and platform quality
Share anonymized and aggregated engagement insights with Vendors

Anonymous Vendor Analytics
We may share anonymized, aggregated usage analytics with Vendors such as:
Business Profile views
Search visibility or search trends
Engagement metrics
General audience or listing activity
This data never identifies individual Users. Salatio may use automated systems or internal tools to improve search functionality, moderation, fraud prevention, recommendation systems, content organization, and platform quality.
Salatio does not use User activity to infer or create profiles regarding an individual’s religious beliefs or practices. Although Salatio provides mosque, prayer-time, and halal-lifestyle features, we do not use your activity in the App to infer, classify, or create a profile about your religious beliefs, level of religious practice, or sensitive personal characteristics.
Salatio may offer promoted listings, sponsored placements, or Vendor visibility tools in the future. Unless separately disclosed and consented to where required, Salatio does not use sensitive personal information, precise location history, or individual religious activity to target advertising.
1.6. User Subscription & Payments
Salatio currently offers a free version of the User App. Certain core features may remain available without charge.
Salatio may also offer optional premium subscriptions, paid features, or other paid services. If paid features or subscriptions are offered:

Update preferences
Request deletion of your User Account directly within the App through Settings → Delete Account, or contact us at contact@salatio.com for assistance. Deletion of a User Account does not necessarily result in deletion of reviews, ratings, submissions, reports, or other content previously contributed to the Platform. Such content may remain associated with the relevant Business Profile, mosque, event, organization, or other listing where permitted by applicable law. Personal information associated with the deleted User Account will be deleted, de-identified, or retained only as permitted or required by applicable law and as described in this Privacy Policy.
We will process verified deletion requests within a commercially reasonable timeframe unless retention is required for legal, security, fraud prevention, or operational purposes.

error and diagnostic information
Salatio does not use Vendor activity for behavioral advertising or Vendor profiling, and Vendor dashboard usage analytics are not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
The anonymized and aggregated analytics described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy apply to User activity within the consumer-facing App, not Vendor dashboard activity.
Vendor Location Information
Vendors are not required to enable device location services to create, claim, or manage a Business Profile. Salatio does not collect Vendor GPS location, background location, Travel Mode location, trip history, or route history from Vendor accounts.
Business location information used for Business Profiles may include an address, service area, or other Business location information provided by the Vendor, obtained from third-party place sources, or otherwise publicly available. This information is used to display the business location to Users, support map and search features, and help Users find the business in the App.
2.3. Claimed Business Profiles and Third-Party Listing Data
Salatio may display Business, organization, professional service, mosque, prayer space, or other listing information obtained from third-party sources such as Google Places or other publicly available sources.
Some Business Profiles may be unclaimed and based primarily on third-party or publicly available information. If a Vendor claims or creates a Business Profile, the Vendor may provide additional information about the Business, including products or services, category information, halal-related disclosures where applicable, menus, amenities, ownership or affiliation information, certifications or credentials, photos, operating hours, service areas, and other Business details.
Vendor-provided information may be displayed alongside or in place of certain third-party place information where appropriate. Vendor-provided information is self-reported by the Vendor and is not independently verified by Salatio.
Salatio does not certify, audit, inspect, or independently verify whether a Business is halal, Muslim-owned, alcohol-free, fully halal, hand-slaughtered, properly licensed or credentialed, professionally qualified, affiliated with a particular organization, or otherwise compliant with any religious, dietary, legal, professional, or business standard unless Salatio expressly states otherwise. Vendor disclosures are self-reported and provided for informational purposes only.
Salatio may review claimed Business Profiles for account eligibility, completeness, fraud prevention, safety, policy compliance, or platform quality. However, Salatio does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of Vendor-provided halal claims, menu claims, ownership claims, certification uploads, or other business disclosures.
Users may report inaccurate, outdated, misleading, or inappropriate business information through the App.

Request deletion of their Vendor Account through the App or dashboard settings, where available, or by contacting contact@salatio.com.
Deletion of a Vendor Account does not necessarily result in deletion of any Business Profile previously created, claimed, or managed through that account. Business Profiles and information associated with them may remain available as unclaimed listings where permitted by applicable law.
Business Profile information, ratings, reviews, Vendor responses, publicly displayed photos or documents, and other content associated with a Business Profile may be retained where permitted by applicable law to maintain listing continuity, historical integrity, Platform operations, legal compliance, and the accuracy and usefulness of Salatio.
Personal information associated specifically with the deleted Vendor Account will be deleted, de-identified, or retained only as permitted or required by applicable law and as described in this Privacy Policy.
A Business Profile may remain on Salatio if a Business changes ownership or management. A new authorized owner or representative may be permitted to claim or manage the existing Business Profile without removing historical ratings, reviews, or other listing information associated with the Business.
3. Notifications
We may send push notifications related to prayer times, Travel Mode, trip updates, nearby mosques or Businesses, saved favorites, events, account activity, security alerts, Vendor updates, App announcements, and other service-related updates.
If enabled, Salatio may also provide smart notifications or audio alerts during your trip, including route-related alerts, prayer-time reminders, nearby mosque alerts, nearby Business alerts, or other travel-related updates.
You can manage or disable push notifications through the App settings or your device settings. Some Travel Mode or trip-related features may not work properly if notifications are disabled.
4. Data Retention
We retain personal information and Platform content for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:
Operate the platform
Display and maintain Business Profiles, other listings, User submissions, reviews, ratings, Vendor responses, and Platform content
Comply with legal obligations
Resolve disputes
Prevent fraud
Business Profiles may be retained independently of the Vendor Account that originally created, claimed, or managed them. Where permitted by applicable law, Salatio may retain Business Profile information, ratings, reviews, Vendor responses, historical listing information, and other Business-related content after a Vendor Account is deleted or a Business changes ownership or management.
User-generated reviews, ratings, submissions, or other public contributions may also remain after deletion of a User Account, but Salatio may remove or de-identify information that directly identifies the former User where appropriate or required by applicable law.
If you use Travel Mode or trip history features, we may retain travel routes, trip locations, travel logs, and related trip history for as long as needed to provide your account features, maintain your travel history, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, comply with legal obligations, or until you delete the information or request account deletion, subject to applicable retention requirements.
5. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards including:
Encrypted transmission
Secure password storage
Access control
Monitoring for fraud
No system is completely secure.
6. Children’s Privacy
The App is not intended for children under 13. Vendor accounts are restricted to individuals 18+.
7. International Users and Cross-Border Data Processing
Salatio is based in the United States and currently provides services in the United States and Canada. Information collected through Salatio may be stored, processed, or accessed in the United States or other jurisdictions where Salatio or its service providers operate. Privacy and data-protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws of your province, state, territory, or country.
Where required by applicable law, Salatio will take appropriate measures relating to cross-border processing and the protection of personal information.
8. Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion where applicable, or withdraw certain consents. These rights may be subject to exceptions and limitations under applicable law.
