Privacy Policy

At HalalVest Real Estate LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website at https://halalvestrealestate.com/ (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on the Site and updating the effective date above. You are advised to review this policy periodically.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal information from you:

• Personal Identifiers: Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, or other contact details you provide when registering, inquiring about investments, or completing forms.
• Geographic and Demographic Data: Location information if you share details about properties, investments, or preferences.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and usage data (e.g., pages visited, time spent on the Site) collected automatically via cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies.
• Financial or Sensitive Data: Information related to investments, such as budget, financial statements, or Shariah compliance preferences (though we do not process payments directly on the Site; funding occurs securely through vetted channels).
• Other Data: Any information you voluntarily provide, such as feedback, inquiries about Musharakah, Murabaha, Ijara, Istisna, REITs, or other Shariah-compliant opportunities.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information should contact us immediately.

2. How We Collect Information

We collect information through:

• Direct interactions, such as when you register, fill out forms, request consultations, or communicate with us.
• Automated technologies, like cookies and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to track Site usage and improve user experience.
• Third-party sources, such as public records, network partners (e.g., brokers, lenders), or affiliates in real estate, technology, or venture capital, if relevant to our services.
• Publicly available information related to investments or Shariah compliance.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• To provide and improve our services, including offering Shariah-compliant investment opportunities in real estate, technology, and venture capital; responding to inquiries; and facilitating registration or deal reviews.
• To personalize your experience, such as recommending vetted halal opportunities based on your preferences.
• To communicate with you, including sending updates, newsletters, financial reports, fatwas, or information about projects (with your consent where required).
• For internal operations, such as analyzing Site usage, preventing fraud, ensuring security, and maintaining Shariah governance.
• To comply with legal obligations, such as reporting in investment transactions or AAOIFI standards.
• For marketing purposes, if you opt-in, to promote our ethical, faith-based investment models to Muslim investors, families, or communities.

Under laws like the GDPR (if applicable to EU users), our legal basis for processing may include consent, contract performance, or legitimate interests.

4. Sharing Your Information

We may share your information with:

• Service providers, such as IT vendors, analytics providers, or Shariah scholars for compliance audits.
• Business partners, such as lenders (e.g., Multifamily Lender, Commercial Lending USA), brokers, or investors in our network, if necessary for a project or opportunity (with your permission).
• Legal authorities, if required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, including Shariah-related disputes.
• In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the business.

We do not sell your personal information. For CCPA purposes (if you are a California resident), we may disclose information for business purposes but not for monetary value.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, track usage, and serve relevant content. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. For more details, see our Cookie Policy (if separate) or contact us. These may include essential cookies for Site functionality and analytics cookies for performance insights.

6. Data Security and Retention

We implement reasonable security measures, such as encryption and access controls, to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. However, no method is 100% secure. We prioritize Shariah-compliant data handling to maintain trust and integrity.

We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above, or as required by law. For example, investment-related details may be kept for up to 7 years for tax, legal, or AAOIFI compliance reasons. After that, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws like GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy regulations:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
• Opt-out of marketing communications or certain data sharing.
• Request information about data we hold or how it’s used.
• For CCPA: Opt-out of “sales” (though we do not sell data) and request non-discrimination.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the required timeframe (e.g., 30 days for GDPR, 45 days for CCPA). We may need to verify your identity.

8. International Data Transfers

If you are outside the US, your data may be transferred to and stored in the US. We ensure adequate protections, such as standard contractual clauses, for transfers to countries without equivalent privacy laws. We align with global Shariah standards where applicable.
