Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 April 2026
Sakinah is an Islamic emotional wellness app. This policy explains what data the app collects, why, and how it is handled. It is written plainly - there is no legal obfuscation.
1. Data you provide
Sakinah has no accounts, no registration, and no sign-in. You do not provide any personal information to use the app.
- Favourites - content you save is stored locally on your device only, using your device's storage. It is never sent anywhere.
- Settings - your chosen translation, tafsir, and theme preferences are stored locally on your device only.
We have no access to any of this data.
2. Automatically collected data (Firebase)
The app uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, provided by Google LLC. These services collect limited technical data to help us understand how the app is used and fix crashes. This includes:
- Anonymous app usage events (e.g. which emotion categories are tapped)
- Session duration and screen views
- Device model, operating system version, and language setting
- App version and crash reports (stack traces)
- A randomly generated app instance ID (not linked to any personal identity)
This data is processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. No data collected by Firebase is sold or shared with any third party by us.
Firebase does not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any content you interact with inside the app.
When Premium billing is enabled, the app also uses RevenueCat and Google Play Billing to check entitlement status and process subscriptions. This may include technical subscription metadata (for example entitlement state, product identifier, purchase state, and app user identifier). We do not receive or store your full card details in the app.
3. Content sources
Qur'anic text, translations, and tafsirs are fetched at build time from Quran.com and Quran.Foundation. Hadith data is fetched from Sunnah.com sources. All content is bundled into the app - no live API calls are made during normal use.
4. Audio
Qur'anic audio recitations are streamed from cdn.islamic.network when you tap play. The request contains only the standard HTTP headers sent by any browser (your IP address, device type). No identifying information is attached.
5. External payments and donations
If you tap donation or external payment links (for example Stripe Checkout), you leave Sakinah and continue on the payment provider's secure pages. Those providers process your payment data under their own privacy policies and terms.
6. Children
Sakinah is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Because the app has no accounts and collects no personal data from users directly, there is no special handling required.
7. Data retention and deletion
Your favourites and settings exist only on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes them permanently. Firebase Analytics data is retained by Google for up to 14 months by default.
8. Your rights
Since we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing to access, correct, or delete on our end. For Firebase data, you may exercise your rights under GDPR or applicable law directly with Google via their privacy tools.
9. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be published at this URL with a new "last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
