Privacy Policy

01Information we collect

• Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address, and — if you sign in with Google or Apple — your name and email as shared by that provider.
• Audio you record. When you use the mic to identify a recitation or practice Tajweed, the app processes that audio to match it against Quran verses and, for Tajweed practice, to assess pronunciation. Audio may be processed on-device or, where needed, sent to a speech-recognition service for transcription.
• Recitation and usage history. We store the verses you look up (surah, ayah, and timestamp) so they appear in your Bookmarks, along with daily usage totals (listening time and Tajweed checks) used to apply free-tier limits.
• Purchase information. If you subscribe to Premium, Apple's StoreKit processes the transaction and shares a signed purchase record with us so we can activate your subscription. We never see or store your payment card details — Apple handles billing directly.

02How we use it

• To identify the surah and ayah being recited and show you the matching text, translation, and audio.
• To save your recitation history to Bookmarks and track your daily free-tier usage.
• To evaluate Tajweed practice recordings and give you feedback.
• To activate and maintain your Premium subscription.
• To operate, secure, and improve the app.

03Third parties we work with

• Supabase — our backend provider, for authentication, database storage, and account data.
• Google and Apple — if you choose to sign in with either, they authenticate you and share basic profile info (name, email) with us.
• Apple StoreKit — processes Premium subscription payments; we never handle your card details directly.
• A speech-recognition service may process recitation audio to help transcribe and match it to a verse.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use your recitation audio or history for advertising.

04Your choices

• Access or delete your data. Email us at odeniransulaimon18@gmail.com to request a copy of your data or to have your account and associated data deleted.
• Microphone access. You can revoke microphone permission at any time in iOS Settings → Samaa; recognition and practice features won't work without it.
• Manage or cancel Premium. Manage your subscription any time in iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.

05Data retention

We keep your account and recitation history for as long as your account is active, so your Bookmarks and progress stay available to you. If you delete your account, we delete your associated personal data, other than records we're required to keep for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention purposes.

06Children's privacy

Samaa is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

07Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
