Privacy Policy for Lahzah
We Do Not Sell Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or spiritual reading activity.
Zero Advertising Trackers
Lahzah does not include third-party advertising SDKs, marketing trackers, or surveillance pixels.
Local Processing First
Quran audio is analyzed on your device. Audio clips are never stored or used to train public models.
Lahzah ("we", "our", or "us") is dedicated to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how our mobile application and website handle and protect your information.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect data necessary to provide core Quran reading, study group, and recitation features:
- Account Information: If you create an account, we store your email address and display name via Supabase Authentication. You may also read offline without an account.
- Quran Reading Progress: Bookmarks, reading positions, and completed verses are stored locally on your device and synchronized to your account only if signed in.
- Circles and Study Groups: Messages, shared Khatm goals, and audio notes sent within study circles are stored securely for group members.
- Location Coordinates (Temporary): Read solely to compute prayer times and Qibla direction. Coordinates are calculated locally and never transmitted to our servers.
2. Audio Processing and Voice Privacy
When using the recitation search or Tajweed practice features:
- Audio is converted to phonetics directly on your device via CoreML (iOS) or Android Neural Networks API.
- Your voice recordings are never saved to our servers or retained for AI model training.
- Microphone access requires your explicit permission and can be revoked at any time in system settings.
3. Account and Data Deletion (Apple Guideline 5.1.1)
In compliance with Apple App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1, you have the right to permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time directly within the app:
- Open the Lahzah app and navigate to Profile > Account Settings.
- Select Delete Account & All Data.
- Confirm your request. Your account, profile, bookmarks, and circle memberships are immediately purged from our active databases.
Alternatively, you can email [email protected] with the subject "Account Deletion Request" from your registered email address, and our team will process your purge within 48 hours.
4. Third-Party Services and Infrastructure
We partner only with security-focused infrastructure providers necessary to operate the service:
- Supabase: Encrypted PostgreSQL database and authentication hosting.
- LiveKit Cloud: Real-time WebRTC audio infrastructure for live halaqah sessions.
