Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Afghan Halal Market Austin (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates an informational website at https://afghanhalalaustin.com and a physical grocery store in Austin, Texas. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website or contact us online.

2. Information we collect

We collect only what we need to respond to you and improve the website experience.

• Contact details you submit (name, email, phone, and message) through our contact form.
• Basic technical data such as browser type, device type, and approximate location derived from IP address when provided by our hosting or analytics tools.
• Usage information such as pages viewed and approximate visit counts (for example, anonymous page-view counters).

3. How we use information

We do not sell personal information. We do not use your contact details for unrelated third-party marketing lists.

• To reply to product, hours, and store questions.
• To operate, secure, and improve the website.
• To understand which pages are most helpful to visitors.
• To comply with legal obligations when required.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Our site may use essential cookies or local storage for preferences (such as theme) and may use privacy-conscious analytics in production. See our Cookie Policy for more detail. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. How we share information

We may share information with service providers who help us host the website, send or store contact messages, or measure traffic — only as needed to perform those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our customers, staff, or property.

6. Data retention

Contact messages are kept as long as needed to respond and manage store inquiries, then deleted or archived according to our internal practices. Technical logs may be retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.

7. Your choices

• You may request access to or deletion of contact information you sent us, subject to legal exceptions.
• You may opt out of non-essential analytics where a tool provides that control.
• You may stop receiving replies by asking us not to contact you further about a closed request.

8. Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page will change when we do. Continued use of the website after updates means you accept the revised policy.
