Lisan is an app for learning Quranic and Fusha Arabic. We collect as little as we can. We don't show ads, we don't track you across apps or websites, and we don't sell or share your data.

What we store

• An anonymous user ID. The first time you open Lisan, it creates a random account ID so your progress can be backed up. This ID isn't linked to your name, email or device identifiers.
• Your learning progress: words you track and their review schedule, clips you've watched or saved, daily minutes, streaks and achievements. It's stored on your device and backed up to our database (Supabase, hosted in the EU).
• Your Apple or Google account, only if you choose "Sign in with Apple" or "Continue with Google". We then receive a stable account identifier and your email address (with Apple, possibly a private relay address). We use it only to restore your progress and your subscription on a new device.
• Your purchase history, if you subscribe. Our subscription provider RevenueCat receives the App Store's record of your Lisan Pro purchases (which plan, when it started, renewals, trial and expiry) together with your Lisan account ID, so your subscription works on all your devices.
• Settings and onboarding answers (your name if you enter one, daily goal, reminder time, learning reasons) stay on your device.

What we don't do

• No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
• No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
• No access to your location, contacts, microphone or photos.

Notifications

Reminders (daily goal, streak, reviews, weekly recap) are scheduled locally on your iPhone. No notification content is sent to a server. You can turn them off in the app's Settings or in iOS Settings.

YouTube videos

Some clips play in YouTube's official embedded player. While they play, YouTube (Google) may collect data under the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). Lisan doesn't receive any of that data. See also the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms).

Subscriptions

Apple handles all payments. We never see your card or payment details. RevenueCat, our subscription provider, receives the App Store's purchase records and tells the app whether your Lisan Pro subscription is active. We use this only to unlock Lisan Pro and to show your subscription status.

Service providers

• Supabase (database and sign-in), EU region: stores the anonymous ID, the optional Apple or Google sign-in identity and your learning progress.
