Aqal is run by Mohamed Parvase M, United Arab Emirates. Contact: parvase1987@gmail.com.
The short version
- You can use the first lesson without an account. Everything then stays on your phone.
- If you create an account, we keep your learning progress so it follows you to any phone.
- We don't sell your data, and the app has no advertising and no third-party ad or tracking tools.
- You can delete your account and everything saved with it at any time, from inside the app.
What we collect, and why
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address (and your name, if you sign in with Google) | When you create an account | To sign you in and send account emails (confirm your account, reset your password) |
| Your learning progress: lessons done, XP, streak, daily goal, words and Ayat you saved, settings | Saved on your phone; also online once you have an account | So your progress is never lost and follows you to a new phone |
| Lesson statistics: when you start, leave (on which page) or finish a lesson, and which questions you got right the first time | Only with an account | To find confusing pages and improve the lessons |
| Problem reports you choose to send: your message, where in the app you were, the app version and phone model | When you tap "Report a problem" | To fix mistakes |
| Free-access requests you choose to send ("Can't afford Premium?") | When you send one | To decide on free access |
| Premium status: whether you have Premium and until when | If you subscribe or get free access | To open the Premium lessons |
We never see your card or bank details. Subscriptions are paid through Google Play. RevenueCat, our subscription service, tells us only that a subscription exists and when it ends.
Word pronunciation uses your phone's own text-to-speech voice. The word is spoken on your phone and isn't sent to us.
Who processes your data for us
- Supabase (database and sign-in), servers in Seoul, South Korea: stores your account and progress.
- Google (Google Play billing; Google sign-in if you choose it).
- RevenueCat: manages subscriptions (no card details).
- An email delivery service: sends account emails.
We share data with these services only so they can do their part of the app, never to sell it.
How long we keep it
- Your account data: until you delete your account.
- Problem reports: kept to improve the app. If you delete your account, they stay with your account removed from them.
- Data on your phone: until you log out, reset your progress or uninstall the app.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your account: in the app, Settings → Delete my account. This deletes your account and everything saved with it, on every phone, and can't be undone. Without the app, see Delete your Aqal account.
- See or correct your data: email parvase1987@gmail.com.
- If you subscribe: deleting your account doesn't cancel a Google Play subscription. Cancel it in Google Play first.
Age
Aqal is meant for learners aged 13 and over. Younger children can learn with a parent, on the parent's account.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and tell you in the app when the change matters.
