Privacy Policy

We collect the following personal data when you use Al-Qādirī Institute: • Account and contact information: email address, full or display name, optional phone number, country and profile image • Learning and worship activity: course enrolments, lesson and assessment progress, certificates, reading position, bookmarks, notes, Quran and prayer logs, tasbeeh and dhikr records • User content: questions, messages, journal entries, homework or article submissions, uploaded files, reports, blocks and support requests • Event information: registration details, attendance, and optional dietary or accessibility requirements you choose to provide • Purchase history: Apple subscription product, transaction, expiry, renewal and refund status. Apple processes payment details; we do not receive your full card details • Notifications: prayer reminder choices and scheduled times remain on your device • Location: precise location is used on-device or sent to the requested prayer, Qibla, weather or mosque service only when you use those features. Manual location entry is available • Usage data: saved progress and interactions needed to provide personalised app features We do not use advertising identifiers and do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Your data is used to operate and secure Al-Qādirī Institute: • To authenticate your account and enforce student, teacher and administrator permissions • To personalise learning, save progress and issue certificates • To process registrations and provide requested educational services • To send notifications you have chosen to receive • To answer enquiries, moderate community contributions and prevent abuse • To maintain reliable and secure services We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.

We use service providers only where needed to operate the platform, including Supabase for authentication, database and storage; Vercel for application hosting; Apple for App Store subscriptions; and mapping, weather and prayer-time providers when you request those tools. These providers process data under their own security and privacy obligations. We use encrypted transmission (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication, database access controls and role-based permissions. Data may be processed in the countries where these providers operate, subject to appropriate safeguards required by applicable data-protection law.

We retain account data while your account is active and only as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes and prevent abuse. You can permanently delete your account from My Account → Danger Zone → Delete Account. This removes your authentication account and associated personal learning data. Transaction, moderation and safeguarding records may be pseudonymised and retained only where legally or operationally necessary. Deleting an account does not cancel an Apple subscription; manage or cancel it separately in Apple subscription settings. You may also contact alqadiriinstitute@gmail.com for assistance.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights: • Right to access: request a copy of all data we hold about you • Right to erasure: request deletion of your account and all associated data • Right to rectification: correct any inaccurate personal data • Right to portability: receive your data in a portable format • Right to object: object to processing of your data • Right to withdraw consent: withdraw consent at any time To exercise any of these rights, contact us at alqadiriinstitute@gmail.com

We use essential session cookies to keep you signed in and on-device storage for preferences you choose. We do not set analytics, advertising or third-party tracking cookies. The app does not show an optional-cookie consent prompt because no optional tracking cookies are collected.

Al-Qādirī Institute is designed for users aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via the app. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
