Effective date: March 24, 2026. This policy explains how Halaqa handles personal data for students, teachers, parents, and organizers using the platform.
Halaqa may collect account and profile information (such as names, roles, school affiliation, and contact details), educational records (memorization progress, revision logs, attendance, grades, and teacher notes), communication records (feedback and announcements), and technical data needed to operate the service (device/browser metadata, usage logs, and security events).
Data is used to provide core features of Halaqa, including progress tracking, class management, reporting, and parent communication. Data may also be used to maintain service reliability, improve user experience, prevent abuse, and satisfy legal obligations.
Halaqa stores data using controlled infrastructure with role-based access controls and appropriate technical safeguards such as encryption in transit, secure authentication, and routine monitoring. Access is limited to authorized personnel and school users based on assigned permissions.
Halaqa does not sell personal data. Information is shared only as needed to deliver platform functionality, with school-authorized users, trusted service providers operating under confidentiality obligations, or when required by law.
Data is retained only for as long as needed for educational operations, legitimate administrative purposes, and legal compliance. Schools or users may request deletion or export where technically feasible and legally permitted.
Depending on location and applicable law, users may have rights to access, correct, export, restrict, or delete personal data, and to object to certain processing. Parent or guardian requests related to minors can be submitted through authorized school administrators.
Halaqa is designed for educational contexts and may process children's data under school or guardian authorization. The platform applies additional care for student records and expects institutions to use appropriate consent and governance practices.
This policy may be updated periodically. Material changes will be communicated through the platform or other appropriate channels. Continued use after updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
For privacy inquiries, data requests, or complaints, users should contact the Halaqa support or designated school administrator through the project contact channels.
