1. Who this covers

This policy covers the Wird iOS app, published by AME (“we”, “us”). Questions about it go to operations@amgy.app.

2. What we collect

If you do not sign in: nothing. Every feature of Wird works without an account, and in that case we receive no data about you at all.

If you choose to sign in, we store the following so it can be synced between your devices:

• Your email address — or, with Sign in with Apple, the address Apple shares with us, which may be a private relay address — and an account identifier.
• Your bookmarks and reading positions (surah and ayah numbers) and the surah you last opened.
• Your prayer-calculation, reminder and language settings.

This data is used only to sync those items between your devices. It is not used for tracking, advertising or analytics, and it is never sold or shared. It is stored with our database provider, Supabase, which processes it on our behalf.

The account is shared by the apps we publish, so one sign-in works in each of them. Each app’s data is kept separately.

Even when you are signed in, we never receive your recitation audio, the places you mark or their coordinates, your dhikr counts, or your device identifiers.

3. What the app keeps on your device

All of the following is stored in the app’s own storage on your device and in the App Group it shares with its widgets, and is removed when you delete the app. If you are signed in, copies of the items listed in section 2 are also kept in your account.

• Your place in the mushaf, your marks and your bookmarks.
• Dhikr counters, and which adhkar reminders you have set and at what times.
• Places you mark yourself, with their coordinates and radius.
• Your prayer calculation settings, your language, and whether tracking runs on-device or online.

4. The microphone and your recitation

The microphone is used only while you have started a following or memorisation session, and only then.

• Audio is captured, converted to buffers for the recogniser, and dropped. It is never written to disk and never recorded.
• On-device tracking runs the recognition model entirely on your iPhone or iPad. Your recitation does not leave the device at all.
• Online tracking is optional and off until you turn it on. It uses Apple’s speech recognition service, which means the audio is sent to Apple to be transcribed. That is governed by Apple’s privacy policy rather than this one. The app says so plainly on the screen where you enable it, and you can return to on-device tracking at any time in Settings.

5. Location

Location is used only for prayer times, the qibla, and Places, and only if you use them.

• Prayer times and the qibla are calculated on the device from your coordinates.
• To show the name of your town on the prayer screen, the app asks Apple’s geocoding service to name your location. That request goes to Apple and is governed by Apple’s privacy policy. Your location is never sent to us.
• Places you mark are stored on the device, and iOS watches for arrival and departure on the device. Their coordinates are never transmitted.
• Delivering a du’a while the app is closed needs Always access. You may grant While Using instead, in which case notifications arrive only while the app is open.
• You can withdraw either at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services.

6. Notifications

Prayer notifications, reminders and place du’a are scheduled locally by the app on your device. No push server is involved and nothing about them reaches us.

7. When the app uses the network

Wird makes these network requests, and no others:

• Requests to Apple’s speech recognition service, only while you have online tracking switched on.
• Recitation audio, streamed one ayah at a time from EveryAyah (everyayah.com) when you ask to listen. Like any website, EveryAyah sees your IP address and which file was requested.
• Apple’s geocoding service, to name your town on the prayer screen (section 5).
• Our database provider, Supabase, only while you are signed in, to sync the items in section 2.

Everything else — the Quranic text, the adhkar, the mushaf font, the prayer calculation and the qibla — ships inside the app and works with no connection.

8. Third parties

Wird contains no advertising, analytics or social SDK. The open-source components it uses (WhisperKit for on-device recognition, Adhan for prayer times) run on your device and collect nothing. The services that can receive data are the ones listed in section 7: Apple (online tracking and geocoding), EveryAyah (audio you choose to play), and Supabase (only if you sign in). Apple also receives the ordinary App Store record of your download, which is Apple’s own and not ours.

9. Children

Wird can be used fully without an account. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13; if you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Your rights

If you never sign in, we hold no data about you, and deleting the app removes everything it knows.

If you have an account, you can delete it at any time in the app under Settings → Account → Delete account. This permanently removes the account and all data stored with it from our servers, including data from our other apps that use the same account. Signing out instead leaves your data on your device and in your account. To request a copy of your data or a correction, contact us at the address above.

11. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the revised version is posted on this page with a new date, and any material change is described in the app’s release notes.
