Privacy Policy

Itabah is built as an act of sadaqah, not a data business. The short version: your information stays on your device, we don't require an account, and we never sell anything about you.

Last updated · 15 July 2026

The one-line summary: Itabah works without an account, keeps your preferences and location on your phone, shows no ads, and includes no third-party trackers. This page explains the details.

Who we are

Itabah (“Itabah”, “we”, “us”) is an Islamic companion app published by itabah. This policy explains what information the app processes, why, and the choices you have. If you have any question, write to info@itabah.com.

Information the app processes

Itabah is designed to do as much as possible on your device. Depending on the features you use, the app may process:

  • Location — used to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction, and to find nearby mosques when you open that feature. Your location is used on-device and is not stored on our servers.
  • Preferences — your chosen reciter, adhan, calculation method, theme, language and similar settings. These are saved locally on your phone.
  • Companion prompts — when you use an AI companion (AI Duʿāʾ, Sakīnah, Dream, Ask-a-Mufti), the text you send is transmitted to our AI provider only to generate a response. It is not used to build a profile of you.
  • Diagnostics — if the app crashes, anonymous, aggregated crash information may be collected to help us fix bugs. It contains no personal content.

What we do NOT do

  • We do not require you to create an account or give us your name, email or phone number to use the app.
  • We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information — ever.
  • We do not show advertising and do not embed advertising trackers.
  • We do not build advertising profiles or track you across other apps and websites.

Third-party services

A few features rely on trusted third parties to work, and only the minimum necessary data is shared with them:

  • Quran and hadith text and recitation audio are streamed from public Islamic content providers.
  • The AI companions send your prompt to our AI model provider to generate a reply.
  • Maps and mosque search may use a maps provider to display nearby locations.
  • App distribution and optional crash reporting are handled by Apple App Store and Google Play.

Each provider processes data under its own privacy terms. We choose providers that align with our privacy-first approach and share as little as possible.

Children

Itabah is suitable for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the app requires no account and collects no personal profile, families can use it with confidence.

Your choices & rights

You are in control. You can revoke location permission at any time in your device settings (prayer times will then use a city you set manually). You can clear the app’s on-device data by clearing app storage or uninstalling. Because we don’t hold an account or a server-side profile for you, there is generally nothing for us to delete on our side — but you can always contact us with any request.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, note the change in the app. Continued use of Itabah after an update means you accept the revised policy.
