MBN privacy notice

Last updated: 31 October 2026

This notice explains what information we collect when you enquire about, join or pay for the Muslim Business Network (MBN), and what we do with it.

Who we are

Halal Kiwi is operated by Muhkam Limited. Muhkam Limited is a New Zealand company (company number 9425528). We collect and hold the information in this notice. Our contact details are at the end.

This notice covers:

• enquiries through the form on halalkiwi.com/mbn
• enquiries through our Facebook and Instagram lead forms
• free and paid MBN listings (Partner and Featured)
• one-off extras: an Instagram Reel or a sponsored push notification
• card payments through Stripe

What we collect

We collect the information you choose to give us. What that is depends on how you contact us.

• Our website enquiry form. Your name, email address, business name, business category, city or region, the plan you’re interested in, and a short message about your business. You can also add a phone number, a website or social link, and any extras you’re interested in. Formspree, a US form service, sends the form to our email.
• Facebook and Instagram lead forms. The details the form asks for, such as your name, email address, phone number, business name, city or region, website or social profile, and the listing or promotion you’re interested in. Meta also links your enquiry to the form and ad you responded to.
• Stripe checkout. When you pay, Stripe collects your email address, phone number, business name, card details and any billing details it asks for.
• Our welcome form after you pay. Your business name, your name, email address, business address or area, and business category. You can also add a business phone number, a website or social link, opening hours and notes. The form also sends us your plan and your Stripe checkout reference, so we can match your details to your payment. Formspree sends this form to our email too.
• Emails you send us. For example, your logo, photos or changes to your listing.
• Stripe’s customer portal. You log in with the email you paid with to cancel your plan, update your card or see past invoices. Stripe keeps a record of the changes you make.

We do not ask you to state your religion.

Giving us information is your choice. Without your contact details, we can’t reply to you. Without the details Stripe asks for, your payment can’t go through. Without your business details, we can’t set up your listing. You can leave optional fields blank.

How we use it

We use your information to:

• reply to your enquiry and talk through MBN options with you
• take payments and manage your subscription
• set up, publish and update your listing
• send Partners a monthly stats email, and send you messages about your listing or plan
• keep business and tax records
• prevent fraud and misuse
• understand which of our Facebook and Instagram ads lead to enquiries

Sending an enquiry form doesn’t take a payment or start a subscription. If you ask for a free listing, we’ll contact you to confirm your details before we publish it. You only pay if you choose a plan and finish checkout on Stripe.

We do not sell your information. We won’t add you to an unrelated mailing list because you enquire or join.

Paying by card

You pay for plans and extras on a Stripe checkout page, not on our website. Stripe handles your card details. We never see your full card number.

Stripe creates a customer record for you. For a monthly or yearly plan, it also sets up a subscription. Stripe sends your receipts and other billing emails for us, for example if a payment fails or your plan is about to renew.

To cancel your plan or update your card, use Stripe’s customer portal. Stripe’s billing emails include a link to it. You can also email us at mbn@halalkiwi.co.nz.

Stripe also uses payment information for its own purposes, for example to prevent fraud and to meet its legal obligations. It does this under its own privacy policy. Read Stripe’s privacy policy.

What we publish

Your listing is public. We show it in the Halal Kiwi app, and we may also show it on halalkiwi.com. A listing can include your business’s:

• name, logo and category
• address or area
• business phone number
• website or social link
• opening hours
• photos and deals
• Partner or Featured label, if you have a paid plan

We don’t publish the contact person’s name, personal email or personal phone number unless your business asks us to.

If you buy an Instagram Reel or a sponsored push notification, or get one with a Featured plan, it features your business. Reels are posted on Halal Kiwi’s Instagram and labelled as paid. Push notifications go to app users who have notifications turned on.

When a paid plan ends, your business keeps a free listing unless you ask us to remove it.

Who we share it with

Only people at Halal Kiwi who need your information for this work can see it. We also use these providers:

• Stripe takes payments, runs subscriptions, sends receipts and billing emails, and runs the customer portal. Stripe’s privacy policy
• Formspree receives our website forms, keeps a copy in our Formspree account and sends them to our email. Formspree’s privacy policy
• Meta runs our Facebook and Instagram lead forms and delivers your details to us. Meta’s privacy policy
• Google Workspace and our other email and business record providers store our emails and records.

Some of these providers store or process information outside New Zealand, including in the United States. Privacy laws there may not protect your information in the same way as New Zealand’s Privacy Act. Where a provider only stores or handles information for us, we are still responsible for it. Stripe, Meta and Formspree also use some information for their own purposes, for example to prevent fraud and spam. Their privacy policies explain how they handle it.

How long we keep it

• Enquiries: as long as we need to handle your enquiry and any business relationship that follows.
• Payment, invoice and subscription records: 7 years after the end of the tax year they relate to. New Zealand tax law requires businesses to keep their records for that long.
• Listing details: while your business is listed.

Your choices and rights

You can:

• ask to see the personal information we hold about you
• ask us to correct it
• ask us to remove your listing
• ask us to stop following up on your enquiry
• ask us to delete information we no longer need to keep
• cancel a paid plan at any time

We may still need to keep payment records for tax reasons after your listing is removed.

To ask for any of these, or to raise a privacy concern, email soliman@halalkiwi.co.nz. We’ll reply as soon as we can.

If we can’t sort out a privacy concern with you, you can contact New Zealand’s Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
