Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 24, 2026
Sheikhify treats your privacy as an amanah, a trust. This policy explains what the app collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have.
What we collect
Your account
- Your email address and how you sign in (email and password, Google or Apple).
- With Google, your profile photo; with Apple, the name Apple shares.
- The name and gender you enter, so the Sheikh can speak to you personally.
Your conversations and the Sheikh's memory
- Your chats and talks with the Sheikh: what you write or say (as text) and his answers.
- The Sheikh's memory: short notes he keeps about what you shared, so he can follow up. You can reset it in Settings.
Your voice
When you talk to the Sheikh, your voice is streamed straight from your device to ElevenLabs to be turned into text. We do not record or store your voice. The Sheikh's spoken answers are saved on your device so they can be replayed.
Your settings and progress
- Language, theme, background sounds and notification settings.
- Your prayer times city and calculation method. The app does not use GPS or your device's location: it starts with the main city of your time zone, and you can pick another.
- Your Quran reading progress.
How you use the app
- Simple counts, such as how often you open the app, how many chats and talks you have and how long you talk, plus your app version, platform, language and time zone.
- Your subscription status.
- Crash reports, without your name, email or account ID.
We use no advertising or analytics tracking tools, and we never sell your data.
Why we use it
- To provide the app: answer you, keep your history, remember what matters to you, show prayer times, and manage your subscription.
- To keep the app working and fair: fix crashes, keep the free limits fair and prevent abuse.
- To improve Sheikhify: understand which features are used, so we can make them better.
- To answer you when you contact us.
We rely on providing the service you asked for, on our legitimate interest in running a safe and fair app, and, where we ask for it, on your consent.
Who we share it with
Only with the services that make Sheikhify work, and only what each one needs:
| Service | Why | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek | Writes the Sheikh's answers and messages | Your recent messages, your name, gender and the Sheikh's memory of you, and your local date, time, city and prayer times. Not your email or account ID. |
| ElevenLabs | Turns your voice into text and the Sheikh's answers into speech | Your voice while you talk, and the text of his answers. ElevenLabs keeps the generated speech under its own policy. |
| RevenueCat | Manages subscriptions | Your account ID, email, name, gender and purchases. |
| Apple and Google | Sign-in and payments | What you share with them to sign in or subscribe. |
| Google Firebase | Stores your account and conversations, runs our server, collects crash reports | Everything the app stores for you. |
| AlAdhan and Diyanet prayer-time services | Prayer times | Your prayer city's approximate coordinates or place code. Nothing about you. |
| Al Quran Cloud and Quran.com | The Quran's text | Requests for surahs. Nothing about you. |
Some of these services process data outside the European Union, including in the United States and China. Where that happens, they do so under their own safeguards and privacy terms.
The Sheikh's messages
If you turn on notifications, the Sheikh may write to you now and then, for example on Fridays or after a while without a chat. These messages are written by DeepSeek from his memory of you and your last conversation, and are shown as notifications on your device. Notifications are off until you turn them on.
How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as you have an account. You can reset the Sheikh's memory at any time in Settings.
When you delete your account, your sign-in, your email, name, photo, gender and the Sheikh's memory of you are removed right away. How to delete your account.
Your rights
You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its use, to receive it in a portable form, and to withdraw any consent you gave.
Children
Sheikhify is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has given us data, please contact us.
Security
Your data travels encrypted and is stored with Google Firebase. Only you can read your account in the app. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect what you entrust to us.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and update the date above.
