Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 4, 2026

NoorPause ("we", "our", "the app") is a mindful pause and family screen-time app built around short Islamic reflections, prayer times and Qibla, the Qur'an, and dhikr. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have about it.

1. Data we collect

1.1 Account data

Email address — used to identify your account. If you sign in with Apple and choose "Hide My Email," we only receive Apple's private relay address.
Display name — what other family members see if you link accounts. You can edit this any time.
Apple user identifier — a stable opaque ID Apple gives us when you use Sign in with Apple. Used to match you to your account on subsequent logins. We do not receive your Apple ID password.
Profile image (optional) — only if you upload one.

1.2 App activity

Pause schedules you create — time windows, themes, days of the week.
Pause completions and emergency unlocks — to compute your streak and family overview.
Notification preferences — whether reminders are enabled, what time the daily recap fires.
Qur'an reading time — how long you spend reading the Qur'an in the app, so we can show your daily total and reading streak. For a linked child, this daily total is also shown to their parent.

1.3 Subscription data

Subscription status — handled by Apple and RevenueCat (our subscription processor). We do not see your payment card details.

1.4 Family accounts

If you create a parent account and link a child, both accounts are stored under our family-controls model. The child's pause completion and Qur'an reading-time data is visible to the linked parent. Parents are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent from their child before linking.

1.5 Location (optional)

If you enable Location, NoorPause uses your device's approximate location to calculate accurate prayer times for your city and to point the Qibla compass toward the Kaaba. This happens on your device only — your coordinates are not sent to, or stored on, our servers, and your location is never tracked in the background. You can turn Location off at any time in iOS Settings; prayer times and Qibla simply won't be available until you re-enable it.

2. What we do NOT collect

We do not access, read, or store the contents of any other apps on your device.
We do not track your location in the background, store your coordinates on our servers, or share location data with anyone — it is used only momentarily, on your device, to compute prayer times and Qibla when you enable it.
We do not collect contacts, photos (other than the optional profile photo you upload), or microphone/camera data.
We do not sell your data to third parties.
We do not use third-party advertising trackers.

3. How we use your data

To authenticate you and keep you signed in.
To generate your pause schedule and notifications.
To compute streaks, completion rates, and the family overview.
To grant access to premium features after a successful subscription purchase.
To calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction on your device (only if you enable Location).
To show your Qur'an reading time and streak, and — for a linked child — to share that daily total with their parent.
To improve the app (e.g., diagnose crashes or failed API calls).

4. Third-party services

We use the following services. Each has its own privacy policy.

Apple — Sign in with Apple, push notifications, in-app purchases, App Store Screen Time (Family Controls) APIs. apple.com/legal/privacy
Supabase — secure database and authentication. supabase.com/privacy
RevenueCat — subscription receipt validation. revenuecat.com/privacy

5. Data storage and security

Your data is stored on Supabase (PostgreSQL) in a private database with row-level access controls. All transmission uses HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Apple Sign in tokens are validated server-side and never logged.

6. Your rights

Access: you can see all the data we have on you from inside the app (Settings → Profile, Logs, Performance).
Delete: you can delete your account from Settings → Sign Out → Delete Account, which removes all your data within 30 days. You can also email us to request immediate deletion.
Export: contact us and we will export your data in JSON within 30 days.
Withdraw consent: stop using the app and request deletion at any time.

7. Children's privacy

Child accounts in NoorPause are created and managed by a parent. We collect only the information necessary to provide the family-pause functionality (display name, pause completions). We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent (the act of a parent linking the child constitutes that consent in our model). If you believe we have collected information from a child without proper consent, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Data retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all personal data is removed within 30 days. Anonymized aggregate statistics (e.g., total number of pauses completed) may be retained for product analytics.

9. International users

Our servers are hosted in the United States. By using NoorPause from outside the U.S., you consent to your data being processed there.

10. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you in-app. Continued use of NoorPause after a change constitutes acceptance.
