Privacy Policy — Islam Teaching App

Last updated: July 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Ummah IT Solutions (SMC-Private) Limited ("the Company", "We", "Us", or "Our"), operating the Islam Teaching mobile application and web app accessible at app.islamteaching.com (the "App"), collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the App.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. Who We Are

The Islam Teaching App is developed and operated by Ummah IT Solutions, with offices in Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan and Liverpool, United Kingdom.

Contact: support@islamteaching.com

2. Our Privacy-First Approach

The App is designed to work with minimal permissions and minimal data collection. Core features — reading the Qur'an, listening to recitation, dhikr counting, duas, and stories of the Prophets — do not require an account and can be used without providing any personal information. We do not sell your personal data, and the App does not display third-party advertising.

3. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide

• Donation details: If you choose to donate, we collect your name (optional), email address, donation amount, and category. Payments are processed by Stripe and PayPal — we never receive or store your card number or full payment credentials.
• AI Chat questions: Questions you type into the AI Islamic Q&A chat and the Islamic Name Generator are processed to generate a response. Please do not include personal, financial, or sensitive information in your questions.
• Support requests: If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.

b) Information Collected Automatically

• Location data (with your permission): Used to calculate accurate prayer times, determine Qibla direction, show Ramadan Sehri/Iftar schedules for your city, and find nearby mosques. Location access is optional — you may instead select your city manually. Location is processed to deliver these features and is not used to track you.
• Device and usage data: Device type, operating system version, app version, language setting, crash logs, and basic diagnostic data used to fix bugs and improve performance.
• Notification tokens: If you enable Adhan or reminder notifications, a device token is used to deliver them. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.

c) Information Stored on Your Device Only

Bookmarks, reading progress, tasbih counts, custom dhikr/dua, downloaded audio for offline listening, and personalization settings (dark mode, wallpapers, language) are stored locally on your device unless otherwise stated.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

1. Provide and maintain App features (prayer times, Qibla, Quran audio, AI chat, mosque finder);
2. Process donations and send donation receipts;
3. Send Adhan and reminder notifications you have enabled;
4. Diagnose crashes, fix bugs, and improve the App;
5. Respond to your support requests;
6. Comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.

5. AI Features Disclaimer

The AI Islamic Q&A chat and Islamic Name Generator are powered by artificial intelligence. Your submitted questions may be processed by third-party AI service providers solely to generate responses. AI responses are provided for reference and educational purposes only and should always be verified with a qualified scholar. We recommend not sharing personally identifiable information in AI chat.

6. Third-Party Services

The App relies on a limited number of trusted service providers, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Stripe and PayPal — donation payment processing;
• Apple App Store and Google Play — app distribution and updates;
• AI service providers — processing of AI chat and name generator queries;
• Hosting/CDN providers — delivery of Quran audio and app content.

We share with these providers only the information necessary for them to perform their function.

7. Data Retention

• Donation records are retained as required for accounting and legal compliance.
• Diagnostic and crash data are retained for a limited period needed to improve the App.
• AI chat queries are not linked to your identity and are not retained longer than necessary to provide the service.
• Data stored locally on your device remains under your control and is deleted when you uninstall the App.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including under UK GDPR and applicable Pakistani law), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, object to or restrict processing, and withdraw consent (for example, by disabling location or notification permissions in your device settings). To exercise these rights, contact us at support@islamteaching.com.

9. Children's Privacy

The App's content is suitable for all ages; however, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Donation features are intended for adults. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.

10. Security

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures, including SSL/TLS encryption, to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International Transfers

Your information may be processed on servers located outside your country, including in Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and countries where our service providers operate. We take reasonable steps to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date, and material changes will be highlighted within the App.
