Your data stays yours.

Ayatly is built so that almost everything stays on your phone. There are no ads, no tracking and no analytics, and we never sell data.

Last updated 13 November 2026. This policy covers the Ayatly Pro app for iPhone and Android and this website.

Who we are

Ayatly Pro is run by Imran Chaudry in the United Kingdom, who is the data controller for this policy. Contact: support@ayatlypro.app.

What stays on your phone

These are stored only on your device. We can't see them, and they're deleted when you delete the app:

Your saved ayat, notes, reading progress, streaks and khatm tracker
Your settings, themes and reminder times
Prayer, dhikr, fasting and Sisters logs, including excused days
Kids mode progress
Your location. It's used on the phone to work out prayer times and the Qibla, and is never sent to us or anyone else.

Reminders and adhan notifications are scheduled on your phone. We don't use push notification servers.

What reaches our server

You don't need an account. The first time it's needed, the app creates an anonymous ID: a random code that isn't linked to your name, email or phone number. It's used for:

Ayatly Intelligence. When you ask a question, the question and the ayah it's about are sent to our server to find the right tafsir, then to Anthropic, the AI provider, to write the answer. We keep a count of questions per anonymous ID (to apply the free allowance) and which ayah each was about. We don't keep your question unless you choose to send feedback on an answer. Feedback stores the question, the answer and any note you add so we and our scholar can review it. Anthropic processes questions to provide the service and doesn't use them to train its models.
Plus. Purchases go through the App Store or Google Play. We never see your payment details. RevenueCat manages subscriptions and tells our server that your anonymous ID has Plus. If you sponsor or receive a Pool seat, that's recorded against anonymous IDs only.
Quran text, translations, tafsir and recitation. These are fetched through our server from Quran Foundation, or directly from QuranEnc, and saved on your phone. Those requests contain no personal information, though the provider can see your device's IP address, as with any website.

Our server is Supabase, in London (UK). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Who we share with

Only the providers above, and only for what's described: Supabase (hosting), Anthropic (AI answers), RevenueCat, Apple and Google (purchases), and Quran Foundation, QuranEnc and QuranicAudio (content). We don't sell, rent or share data for advertising.

Children

Kids mode collects nothing beyond what stays on the phone. Ayatly Intelligence isn't offered inside Kids mode, and anything to do with purchases sits behind a grown-up check.

How long we keep things

Question counts are kept for 12 months. Feedback is kept until it has been reviewed, then for up to 24 months. Subscription records are kept as long as the law requires for accounting.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete data about you, or object to how it's used. Because we only hold anonymous IDs, email us and we'll explain how to find yours in the app. Deleting the app removes everything stored on your phone. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Our legal basis

We process the little data we hold to provide the service you ask for (contract), and to improve the safety and accuracy of AI answers when you send feedback (legitimate interests).

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and mention it in the app.
