Privacy Policy · MuslimWell

Last Updated: 2026/10/17

1. Introduction

MuslimWell is provided by Tunahan Aktay (“we”, “us”, or “our”). This policy explains how the app processes information and your choices. You do not need an account. We do not ask for your name or email address in the app or link analytics to them. Support messages contain the information you choose to send.

MuslimWell is a fasting companion: it keeps a record of your fasts, makeup fasts, meals and water, points to the Qibla, counts dhikr, and can analyze a photo of a meal or a food label with AI. Your records stay on your iPhone. Before the first photo is sent for AI analysis, the app asks for your permission and names the AI provider; if you decline, no photo is sent. The app shows no advertising and does not use cross-app tracking to target ads.

2. Who We Are

MuslimWell is developed and operated by Tunahan Aktay, who is responsible for the processing described in this policy. Contact: tunahanaktay.apps@gmail.com.

3. Information the App Processes

Fasting records, meals and your profile

The fasts you log, their types, your makeup fast balance, water intake, meals, dhikr counts and settings are stored in the app’s local storage on your iPhone. So is the profile you enter for nutrition goals: weight, height, age, gender, activity level, fasting frequency and the savings amount you give the Zakat calculator. The app calculates your calorie targets, body mass index and Zakat estimate on your device. We do not receive these records, and they are not sent with photo analyses. Information about your fasting and body can be sensitive, which is why it stays on your device.

Photos you analyze

When you use Suhoor Analysis, Iftar Analysis, Halal Check or Halal Recipe, the app sends the one photo you take or choose, reduced in size, to the AI service described below, together with the instructions for that analysis and the name of your app language. Your fasting records, profile and location are not part of the request. The analysis result, together with the photo, is saved on your iPhone. Recent analyses are removed after 7 days unless you save them. The app does not perform facial recognition or create biometric identifiers. A photo may still show a person or a place if you include one, so photograph the food or the label.

Location for the Qibla direction

The Qibla screen asks for your location while you use it, and reads your compass heading, to point toward the Kaaba. The direction is calculated on your iPhone. The app does not send your precise location to us or to any third party, and you can decline the permission and keep using the rest of the app.

Identifiers, usage and approximate location

AIProxy uses a stable device identifier and your IP address to secure requests and measure usage limits. Firebase uses app or installation identifiers for analytics and configuration delivery. Firebase Analytics processes interactions such as screens viewed and features used, together with device information and approximate location derived from IP addresses. These records are not necessarily anonymous merely because we do not link them to your name.

Purchases

Apple and RevenueCat process transaction information and identifiers to provide subscriptions, restore purchases, and help us understand purchasing trends. RevenueCat also collects Apple’s install attribution token to attribute installs to Apple Search Ads campaigns. We do not receive your payment card details.

Diagnostics and support

Firebase Crashlytics processes crash reports and diagnostic information to help us fix failures. Service error records may contain technical details about a failed request. If you contact support, we receive your email address, message and any attachments you send.

4. AI Processing and Retention

Requests travel through AIProxy to OpenAI, whose AI model reads the photo and returns the analysis. Analysis is automated, and no person at our end views your photos unless you send one to us for support.

We do not keep photos or analysis results on our own servers. That does not mean the AI services retain nothing. Providers may retain requests, outputs or service records for operation, security, abuse prevention and legal requirements, depending on their terms and applicable settings. AIProxy’s published policy describes retaining request metadata, IP addresses and error responses for 30 days. OpenAI handles API requests under its own business data and retention policies. We do not promise zero retention, immediate deletion, or a fixed deletion period across the whole route.

For provider handling, see AIProxy’s Privacy Policy and OpenAI’s business data privacy information. Provider terms and settings determine any use of request content for training; this policy makes no blanket guarantee for every service in the route.

Deleting an analysis or the app removes its local copy. It does not delete device backups or records already held by providers. Contact us for help with a provider-held data request.

5. Third-Party Services

We process the photos you choose to analyze with your permission, requested in the app. We process local records to provide the features you use and purchase information to provide your subscription. We rely on legitimate interests for app reliability, analytics, security and responding to support, where permitted by applicable law. Where the law requires consent for particular processing, consent is the applicable basis. Using the app is not itself consent to every practice in this policy.

7. Data Retention

Fasting records, meals, your profile and saved analyses remain on your iPhone until you delete them or delete the app; device backups may preserve copies. Firebase retains analytics and diagnostic records under identifiers according to its applicable retention settings and policies. Apple and RevenueCat retain purchase records under their policies and legal obligations. We retain support correspondence as needed to resolve your request and meet applicable obligations. AI-service retention is described in section 4.

8. Data Security

All data transmission between your device, our services and third-party providers is encrypted. We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. While no system can guarantee complete security, we continuously work to safeguard your information.

9. Children’s Privacy

MuslimWell is not intended for children under 13, or under the minimum age of digital consent in your country if higher. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has shared personal data with us, contact us at tunahanaktay.apps@gmail.com and we will help delete it.

10. International Transfers

Our providers process data in the United States and other countries. Where EU or UK law requires it, these transfers rely on the providers’ data protection terms, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, including Turkey, the EU, the UK and California, you can ask to access, correct, delete or receive a portable copy of your personal data, object to or restrict its processing, withdraw consent at any time, and complain to your local data protection authority. Because we do not link analytics identifiers to your name or email address, we may be unable to find records that belong to you; email us and we will help as far as we can. You can decline AI consent and keep using the app’s tracking tools. Withdrawing permission for future analyses does not undo processing already performed. You can delete analyses and records in the app, and manage camera, photo and location permissions in iOS Settings. We do not sell your personal information.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date. If a change is significant, we will announce it in the app or on this page before it takes effect, and ask for consent again where the law requires it.
