Ayati - Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Ayati ("My Verses" in Arabic) is a Quran memorization companion app. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our mobile application and web service at app.ayati.org.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

• Name — used to personalize your experience
• Email address — used for authentication and account recovery
• Password — stored securely using bcrypt hashing (we never store or see your plain password)

App Usage Data

• Review sessions — timestamps, error counts, and duration of your Quran review sessions
• Card progress — which Hizb/Rubuu you are memorizing and your progress level (L1-L6)
• Settings and preferences — daily goals, working days, and pipe configuration

What We Do NOT Collect

• Location data
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Contacts, photos, or files
• Financial or payment information
• Advertising identifiers or cross-site tracking data

Analytics (optional, opt-in only)

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 on ayati.org and app.ayati.org to understand how people discover Ayati, sign up, complete a first review, and come back to review again. Nothing is loaded and nothing is sent before you accept, and events that happen before consent are discarded, not replayed.

• We record only page views on cleaned URLs (no query strings or fragments), anonymous counts of sign-ups and completed reviews, clicks that open the app or the Android download, and the interface language.
• We never send names, emails, account identifiers, recordings, the Quran passages you review, mistake counts, or any memorization performance.
• Advertising features, Google signals, and ad personalisation are switched off; analytics cookies are first-party only.
• You can decline or withdraw at any time here, or from the app's settings. Withdrawing also removes the analytics cookies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

• Provide and maintain the Ayati service
• Authenticate your account and keep it secure
• Track your Quran memorization progress across devices
• Calculate review schedules using the Pipes Algorithm
• Display your statistics and forecasts

We do not use your data for advertising, marketing, or profiling purposes.

4. Data Storage and Security

• Your data is stored on secure servers hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States
• All data is transmitted over HTTPS (encrypted in transit)
• Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and are never stored in plain text
• Access to the database is restricted and protected by authentication
• We perform daily encrypted backups of the database

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with any third parties. Your data is only used to provide the Ayati service to you.

We may disclose information only if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Your data is retained as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time:

• Go to Settings in the app
• Scroll to the bottom and click "Delete My Account"
• Confirm the deletion

When you delete your account, your profile and personal data are marked for deletion. We may retain anonymized, non-personal data for service improvement purposes.

7. Children's Privacy

Ayati is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data (visible in your profile and settings)
• Update your personal data (via the settings page)
• Delete your account and all associated data (via the settings page)
