Privacy policy

Last updated · October 26, 2026

Rafiq is a daily reflection app. To choose and write a message that fits your day, it needs to know a little about you. This policy explains what we keep, why, who helps us run Rafiq, and how you stay in control. In short: we use what you share only to write your messages and answers, we do not sell it or show you ads, and you can delete everything from the app.

What we keep

WhatWhy
Your account: the email or private relay address from Sign in with Apple or GoogleTo sign you in and keep your profile safe across phones
Your profile: your name, language, avatar, message time and time zone, and your answers during onboardingTo write messages that fit you and send them at your time
Daily check-ins: mood, the areas on your plate, and anything you choose to writeTo choose and write today's message
What Rafiq remembers: short notes about things you mentioned (for example "job interview on Thursday") and a summary of your profileTo follow up and make later messages fit better. You can see and delete these in the app under "What the app remembers"
Your messages, whether you did their step, which ones you saved, and your ratingsTo show your history, avoid repeats, and improve Rafiq
Questions you ask in "Ask about this verse" and "Talk it through", and their answers (Plus)To keep the conversation and, for your messages, to help Rafiq know you better
A notification token for your iPhone, and a key for the Home Screen widgetTo deliver your message and show it in the widget

What you read in the Quran section (your last page, downloaded pages and fonts, your reciter and translation choices) stays on your phone.

We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking tools, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.

Who helps us run Rafiq

We do not sell your data or share it with anyone else, unless the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, check-ins, messages, ratings and chats are deleted straight away, and with Sign in with Apple we also revoke Rafiq's access to your Apple ID. Our server's technical logs record which addresses were requested, not what you wrote, and are cleared regularly.

Your choices

Children

Rafiq is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has used Rafiq, contact us and we will delete their account.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will say so in the app before the change applies. The date at the top shows the latest version.
