Your privacy on Foodjin
Last updated: June 17, 2026
Foodjin is a marketplace platform that connects you with independent halal vendors and independent delivery providers. This policy explains what we collect, why, and who we share it with so your order can be fulfilled. Your trust is part of how we built Foodjin.
What we collect
- Account info -- name, email, phone, delivery address.
- Order history -- what you ordered, from which Jin, when.
- Location -- only while the app is open, to find nearby vendors and route deliveries.
- Payment -- processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
- Device info -- model, OS version, app version. Used to fix bugs and crashes.
How we use it
- To show you vendors within delivery range.
- To pass the details an order needs to the vendor and the delivery provider fulfilling it.
- To suggest items you might like based on your order history.
- To respond when you contact support.
Who we share it with
Foodjin facilitates your order; it does not prepare food or carry out delivery. To complete an order we share only what is necessary with:
- Vendors (Jins) -- your first name, delivery address, and items, so they can fulfill the order.
- Delivery providers -- this may be the vendor (self-delivery), a Foodjin independent driver partner, or a third-party courier network (such as Shipday). They receive your name, address, and contact number while a delivery is active.
- Stripe -- to process payments and payouts.
These vendors and providers are independent businesses that handle the data they receive under their own privacy practices. Access ends when the order is complete.
How we may use your data
We use the personal information described above to operate, improve, personalize, promote, and amplify the Foodjin marketplace -- including analytics and research; marketing, advertising, promotional, and other amplification activities for Foodjin and our vendors across our own and third-party channels; and to feature ratings, reviews, and content you submit. Our use of your personal information is carried out under this policy and is subject to the privacy rights described below.
You grant Foodjin a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use the content you submit (such as ratings, reviews, and photos) and to create, use, and share aggregated or de-identified data -- which no longer identifies you -- for any business purpose, including marketing and amplification. We may continue to use submitted content and aggregated or de-identified data even after you close your account.
Sensitive information
Some data, such as your precise location, is treated as sensitive under several state laws. We collect precise location only while the app is open and only to provide the service (finding nearby vendors and routing deliveries). We do not access your precise location when the app is closed, and we do not use sensitive information to infer characteristics about you.
What we won't do
- Sell your directly identifying personal information to unrelated third parties for money.
- Access your precise location when the app is closed.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live (for example, California under the CCPA/CPRA, and Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and other states with privacy laws), you may have the right to:
- know and access the personal information we hold about you, and the categories we collect, use, and disclose;
- request correction or deletion of your personal information;
- receive a portable copy of your data;
- opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information and of targeted advertising;
- limit the use of sensitive personal information, such as precise location;
- not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email support@foodjin.org or use the in-app privacy controls. We will verify your request and respond within the time required by law (generally 30-45 days). You may use an authorized agent, and you may appeal a decision by replying to our response.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. If our marketing or amplification activities qualify as "sharing" for targeted advertising under your state's law, you may opt out by emailing support@foodjin.org or through the in-app privacy settings. Where required, we honor recognized browser opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control.
Children
Foodjin is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them (the federal COPPA). If you believe a child has provided us information, contact support@foodjin.org and we will delete it.
Communications
By providing your phone number and email, you consent to receive transactional messages (order, account, and delivery notices) by call, text, and email. We send marketing messages only where permitted by law; you can opt out of marketing texts by replying STOP (under the federal TCPA) and unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in each message (under the federal CAN-SPAM Act). Message and data rates may apply.
Security and retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, and we retain it only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy or as required by law. No system is perfectly secure.

Governing law and changes
This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Michigan and applicable U.S. federal law. Mandatory privacy and consumer-protection rights under the law of the state where you live still apply and are not waived. We will post material changes here and update the date below.
California Notice at Collection
This notice supplements our Privacy Policy and is provided at or before the point of collection, as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). It describes the categories of personal information Foodjin, Inc. collects, the purposes for collection, and who we disclose it to. Similar disclosures apply to residents of other states with privacy laws.

| Customer records | Contact and order details | Process and deliver orders; communications | Vendors, delivery providers, Stripe | No | No |
| Commercial information | Order history, purchases, tips | Provide, personalize, and improve the service; marketing and amplification | Service providers; analytics; marketing partners | No | Opt-out available |

Sale and sharing
We do not sell your personal information for money. Some marketing and "amplification" activity may be considered "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law; you may opt out at any time via "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" in our Privacy Policy or the in-app privacy settings, and we honor Global Privacy Control signals where required.
Sensitive personal information
We collect precise geolocation, which is "sensitive" under California law, only to provide the service. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would require a right to limit.
Retention
We keep each category only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. See the Privacy Policy for your rights and how to exercise them.
