This Privacy Policy applies to the Saafi iOS app and the Saafi website at saafiapp.com.

Who we are

Saafi is operated by Elwaleed Gadalla.

Some of this information may relate to sensitive personal struggles, religious practice, and recovery. We use it only to provide, maintain, personalize, and improve Saafi.

Location information

If you allow location access, Saafi uses your approximate current location to calculate prayer times for your area. The app may send latitude and longitude to a prayer-times provider to service that request.

You can deny location permission. Some prayer-time features may not work as intended unless Saafi supports a manual location option.

Diagnostics and technical information

Saafi may collect limited technical information needed to keep the app reliable and secure, such as app version, device system version, crash data, performance data, and logs from service providers. We use this information to find bugs, protect the app, and improve reliability.

Tracking and advertising

Saafi does not currently use third-party advertising, data broker sharing, or cross-app tracking for targeted advertising. Saafi does not currently request Apple's advertising identifier for tracking.

If this changes, we will update this policy and any required App Store privacy disclosures.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, Saafi may send prayer follow-ups, high-risk support reminders, check-ins, and gentle app reminders. You can manage notifications in iOS Settings and in Saafi notification settings.

Because Saafi is private, we try to keep notification language discreet and supportive.

App lock

Saafi may offer app lock using Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode through Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. Saafi does not receive or store your biometric data.

Data retention

We keep account and app data while your account is active or as needed to provide Saafi. Some data may be retained for a limited period for security, backup, legal, or operational reasons.

When you delete your account in the app, Saafi is designed to delete your account and saved app data associated with your user ID. Some records may remain temporarily in backups or logs until they expire.

Children

Saafi is not directed to children under 13. Saafi discusses sensitive recovery topics and should be used only by people old enough to understand the nature of the app and their local laws and family expectations.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No app, website, or internet service can be guaranteed 100% secure.

Your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Those countries may have different privacy laws than your location.
