Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Mesghal (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when you use the website at mesghal.site and the Mesghal mobile application (together, the “Service”).
1. Who we are
Mesghal is a market information service that shows live free-market prices for gold, coins, foreign exchange, and related markets in Iran. The Service includes the website mesghal.site and the Mesghal app.
For privacy questions, use the contact form at https://mesghal.site/contact or our Telegram channel at https://t.me/mesghal_site.
2. Information we collect
Account information. If you create or use an account, we may collect your mobile phone number, one-time verification codes, email address, display name, and password. Passwords are stored in hashed form, not as plain text.
Contact messages. If you write to us through the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content so we can reply.
Session and technical data. When you sign in on the website, we set an httpOnly session cookie (mesghal_session) to keep you logged in, plus a non-sensitive client flag cookie (mesghal_authed) so the site can avoid account API calls for guests. The app may send an authorization token for the same purpose. We also receive standard server logs such as IP address, device or browser type, and request timestamps needed to operate and secure the Service.
On-device preferences. Some features store preferences only on your device (for example, converter pairs or board layout) using local storage. That data stays on your device unless you clear it.
We do not require an account to view public price information.
3. How we use information
We use the information above to provide and improve the Service, authenticate users, send one-time codes and account-related messages, respond to contact requests, prevent abuse and fraud, and meet legal obligations.
Price data shown in the Service is market information for reference. It is not personalized advertising based on your private account data.
4. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with service providers who process it on our behalf (for example, SMS delivery for one-time codes, email delivery, hosting, and infrastructure). They may use the data only to perform services for us.
We may disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights or safety of Mesghal or others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or similar corporate transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
The website uses an essential session cookie to maintain your login. We do not use third-party advertising cookies on the Service as described in this policy.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling the session cookie will prevent signed-in features from working.
6. Data retention
We keep account and contact information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, respond to you, and comply with legal requirements. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and operations.
You may request deletion of your account information by contacting us through the contact page. We will respond within a reasonable time, subject to legal retention needs.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.
9. International users and App Store disclosure
The Service is operated primarily for users in Iran. If you access it from another country, your information may be processed where we or our providers operate.
This Privacy Policy is the public policy URL intended for Apple App Store and other store listings for the Mesghal app. In App Store Connect, data types you declare should match what this policy describes: contact information (phone, email, name) when you use accounts or contact us; and identifiers or diagnostics only as needed for authentication and basic operation—not for third-party advertising.
10. Your choices
You may update your name, email, or password in your account settings when signed in. You may stop using the Service at any time. You may clear local preferences in your browser or by uninstalling the app.
For access, correction, or deletion requests, contact us via https://mesghal.site/contact.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the revised policy.
