Privacy Policy · Saktah

In short

Your recitation is checked on your iPhone while you recite. It is never recorded, saved, or uploaded.
Saktah locks apps through Apple’s Screen Time, so it can’t see what you do inside them.
We keep only what we need to run your account, your settings, and your subscription.
We don’t sell your information, and there are no ads in Saktah.
You can delete your account at any time from inside the app.

1. Information we handle

Account. You sign in with Apple. Apple gives Saktah a private account identifier and, if you allow it, your name and email address. If you choose Hide My Email, we only see an Apple relay address. In Your Profile you can add a display name and a profile photo.

Your settings. The surahs and ayah ranges you choose, your recitation commitment, your unlock duration, and when you use your emergency pass.

Recitation activity. Which surah and ayahs you recited, when, and for how long. Saktah uses this to show your Activity.

Subscription status. Purchases are handled by Apple. We receive whether your subscription or trial is active. We never see your card or payment details.

Technical information. Basic details needed to keep the service working, such as app version, iOS version, and device model.

2. Your voice and recitation

Saktah uses the microphone only while you are reciting in the app. The audio is processed on your iPhone to follow the words you recite, held in memory for that moment, and then discarded. Saktah does not record your voice, does not store audio, and does not send audio to us or to anyone else.

Saktah follows the words of the ayahs. It does not judge or grade your tajwid.

3. Screen Time and your apps

Saktah locks apps, categories, and websites through Apple’s Screen Time. When you pick what to lock, iOS gives Saktah protected tokens instead of a readable list of your apps. Saktah cannot see what you do inside any app.

Figures such as time spent on your locked apps are produced by Screen Time on your iPhone and shown to you there. We don’t collect your browsing or in-app activity.

4. How we use information

To lock and open your apps according to the settings you chose.
To show your Activity and keep your settings in place.
To run your account and check whether your subscription is active.
To answer your messages when you contact support.
To find and fix problems and keep Saktah secure.

5. What we don’t do

We don’t record, store, or upload your voice.
We don’t sell or rent your information.
We don’t show ads or share your information with advertisers or data brokers.
We don’t publish or rank your recitation, and we don’t compare you with other people.

6. Service providers

We rely on a small number of providers to run Saktah. They process information only to provide their service to us.

Provider	What for	Information involved
Apple	Sign in with Apple, App Store purchases and subscriptions, Screen Time	Account identifier, name and email if shared, subscription status
Our hosting provider	Storing your account and settings so they stay in place	Account, profile, settings, recitation activity

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public.

7. Storage and retention

We keep your account information for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, we delete your profile, settings, and activity from our systems within 30 days, except where the law requires us to keep something longer. Copies held by Apple about your purchases are covered by Apple’s own policy.

We protect information with encryption in transit and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your information safe.

8. Your choices and rights

Microphone. You can turn microphone access off at any time in iPhone Settings. Saktah can’t follow a recitation without it.
Screen Time. You can remove Saktah’s Screen Time access in iPhone Settings. Locking stops when you do.
Notifications. You can turn them off in iPhone Settings, Notifications, Saktah.
Delete your account. In Saktah, go to Settings, Your Profile, Delete Account. This doesn’t cancel your subscription, which you manage with Apple.
Access and correction. You can ask us for a copy of your information or ask us to correct it by emailing us.

Depending on where you live, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, or California, you may have further rights over your personal data, such as the right to object to or restrict processing and to complain to your local data protection authority. Email us and we’ll respond within the time the law requires.

9. Children

Saktah is not directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

10. International users

Saktah is used around the world, so your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where that happens, we take steps so it stays protected in line with this policy.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. If the change is significant, we’ll also let you know in the app.
