MWBN App Privacy Policy
Last updated: 7 September 2026
Muslim Women's Business Network ("MWBN", "we", "us" or "our") operates the MWBN mobile
application.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy
explains what personal information we collect through the MWBN app, why we collect it, how we use it,
who can see it, and your rights in relation to that information.
1. Who we are
Muslim Women's Business Network is responsible for the personal information processed through the
MWBN app.
For questions about this Privacy Policy or the way we use your personal information, please contact:
Email: hello@muslimwomensbusinessnetwork.com
2. Information we collect
Account and profile information
When an MWBN account is created for you, or when you update your profile, we may process:
• Full name
• Email address
• Profile photo, if you choose to provide one
• Membership information
Some of this information may initially be obtained from information you provided when joining MWBN and
used by a founder to create your app account.
Activity and points information
When you use the app, we may process information about your participation in MWBN, including:
• Points earned
• Actions you log, such as attending a meeting, completing a one-to-one meeting or making a referral
• Information you provide when logging an action, such as the member you met with or referred
• Whether an action has been approved or rejected
• Your membership tier, such as Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum
This information is used to operate the MWBN points and rewards system and leaderboard.
Referral directory information
You may choose to provide information to help other MWBN members refer business to you, including:
• Business name
• Business email address
• Business telephone number
• Website
Muslim Women's Business Network | MWBN App Privacy Policy
Providing this information is optional. Information added to the referral directory is visible to other signedin
MWBN members because the purpose of the directory is to facilitate networking and business referrals
between members. You can edit or remove this information at any time.
Calendar information
MWBN founders may add meetings, networking events and other shared events to the app calendar.
These events are visible to signed-in members.
If you choose to add an MWBN event to your personal device calendar, the app may interact with your
device's calendar functionality. MWBN does not receive the other events or information contained within
your personal calendar as a result of you adding an MWBN event.
Push notification information
If you enable notifications, your device generates a push notification token. We use this technical
identifier to send app notifications such as:
• Approval requests
• Confirmation that an activity has been approved or rejected
• Event information or reminders
• Other relevant MWBN app notifications
A push notification token is primarily a technical device identifier, although it may constitute personal
information when associated with your account or device.
3. How we use your information
We use personal information to:
• Create and manage member accounts
• Provide access to the MWBN app
• Operate the points and rewards system
• Calculate and display membership tiers
• Display the member leaderboard
• Record and approve member activities
• Facilitate networking and referrals between MWBN members
• Manage the shared MWBN calendar
• Send relevant app and event notifications
• Maintain the security and proper operation of the app
• Respond to questions, requests and technical issues
We do not sell your personal information or provide it to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
4. Our lawful basis for using your information
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal information.
Depending on the information and the reason we are using it, we generally process personal information
because:
• It is necessary to provide our membership services to you, including access to the MWBN app and its
member features; and/or
• It is in our legitimate interests to operate and administer the MWBN network, facilitate networking
between members, maintain the security of the app and improve our member services.
Where we rely on your consent for an optional feature, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

5. Who can see your information
Other MWBN members
Signed-in MWBN members may be able to see:
• Your name
• Your points and position on the leaderboard
• Your membership tier
• Referral directory information that you choose to provide
MWBN founders/administrators
Authorised MWBN founders or administrators may additionally access information needed to manage the
app and membership, including recently logged actions and information associated with those actions, for
purposes such as approving or rejecting points.
Access to administrative information is restricted to authorised users.
6. Service providers
We use third-party technology providers to operate the MWBN app.
The app uses Google Firebase, which provides services such as authentication, database/storage
functionality and other infrastructure required for the app to operate.
These service providers may process information on our behalf in order to provide their services to
MWBN.
Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the
transfer is made in accordance with applicable UK data protection requirements.
7. How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from
unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss.
App information stored using Google Firebase is protected using authentication and access controls
designed to restrict access according to the user's account and role within the app.
However, no internet-based service or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.
8. How long we keep your information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it
was collected, including operating your MWBN membership and meeting any applicable legal,
accounting or administrative requirements.
Account and membership information will normally be retained while your account or membership
remains active.
If your membership ends or your account is deleted, we will delete or anonymise personal information
when it is no longer required, subject to any information we need to retain for legitimate business or legal
purposes.
9. Your choices and rights
Within the app, you can:
• Edit your name, surname and email address
• Change your password

directed at children.
