3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With masjid administrators: If you become a member of a masjid, make a donation, or RSVP to an event, the relevant masjid administrators may see your name, email, donation amounts (without payment details), and RSVP status for their operational purposes.
• Service providers: We share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing (e.g., Stripe), cloud hosting (e.g., Firebase/Google Cloud), and analytics. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

We will notify you via email or a prominent notice within our Services before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

• Payment information is processed by PCI DSS-compliant third-party payment processors and is never stored on our servers.
• Passwords are securely hashed and never stored in plain text.

While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data. If we learn of a security breach, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.

5. Third-Party Services

Our Services integrate with or rely upon the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy governing the use of your information:

• Google Firebase: Authentication, database, cloud hosting, and analytics. Firebase Privacy Policy
• Google Maps / Places API: Location services and mosque discovery. Google Privacy Policy
• Stripe: Payment processing for donations. Stripe Privacy Policy
• Apple App Store / Google Play Store: App distribution. Subject to their respective privacy policies.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services.
