Privacy Policy – Minhaj365

1. Who we are

Minhaj365 (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a mobile application that brings together official Minhaj-ul-Quran platforms, including learning resources, membership services, blood donation features, Fehm-e-Din content and social media links.

2. Information we collect

We only collect information that is needed to operate the app and deliver our services.

2.1 Information you provide

Account details – name, email address, phone number, password or login method.
Profile information – profile photo and basic details you choose to add.
Membership details – membership number, chapter/centre details and related information.
Blood donation information – voluntary information you provide to register as a donor (such as blood group, city or availability).
Communication – messages or enquiries sent to us via the app, email or WhatsApp links.

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you use the app, we may automatically collect some technical information for security and performance purposes, such as:

Device type, operating system and basic device identifiers.
App version, language and general settings.
Approximate location (city / region) based on network information, if needed to display relevant content or services.
Crash logs and basic diagnostic data to help us fix errors and improve stability.

We do not collect more information than is reasonably necessary for the operation of the app.

3. How we use your information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

To create and manage your account in the Minhaj365 app.
To provide access to learning content, Fehm-e-Din, Markaz-e-Ilm and other services.
To manage your membership and related community services.
To operate the blood donation network and connect willing donors with genuine requests.
To allow you to upload or update your profile photo and save images from the app to your device.
To communicate with you about updates, changes, support or important announcements.
To protect the security of the app, prevent misuse and comply with legal obligations.

4. Permissions used by the app

The Minhaj365 app uses specific device permissions only where they are needed for core features:

Internet access: required to load content, connect to our servers, open official MQI websites and social media, and keep information up to date.
Photos and media (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / storage): used when you choose an image from your device to upload or update your profile photo, and when you download or save images provided by the app. We only access the files you select; we do not scan or collect other photos or videos.

You can manage these permissions at any time in your device settings. Some features may not work correctly if certain permissions are disabled.

5. Sign-in and third-party services

The app may offer sign-in options such as email/password or Google login. When you use a third-party login provider, that provider may share basic account information (for example name and email address) with us so we can create or link your account.

The app may also open external websites and official social media platforms (such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or X/Twitter) in a browser or in their respective apps. Your use of those services is governed by their own privacy policies.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. Please review their policies separately.

6. Legal bases (for users in the UK / EEA)

Where UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

Contract: to provide you with access to the app and its services.
Consent: for optional features such as blood donation registration or certain communications.
Legitimate interests: to maintain and improve the app, keep it secure and understand usage.
Legal obligation: to comply with applicable laws and lawful requests from authorities.

7. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal data. We only share information in limited circumstances:

With trusted service providers who help us host, maintain or support the app and who are bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
With relevant MQI departments or authorised volunteers, for example to manage membership or respond to verified blood donation requests.
When required by law, court order or to protect the rights, safety and security of users, the organisation or others.

8. Data retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. When information is no longer required, we will delete it or anonymise it in a secure manner.

9. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. No system is completely secure, but we work to keep your data protected and review our safeguards regularly.

10. Children’s privacy

The app is designed for general use and community services. Where features are directed at young users, they are intended to be used under the guidance or supervision of parents, guardians or responsible community members. If you believe we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, please contact us and we will remove the information.

11. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of your data, where applicable.
Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [[YOUR_EMAIL]]. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

12. International transfers

Because Minhaj-ul-Quran International operates in multiple countries, your information may be processed in different jurisdictions. Where data is transferred outside your country, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in line with applicable data-protection laws.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make important changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you inside the app or by other means.
