Privacy Policy

Last Update: 17 February 2026

1. Introduction

This notice explains how we process personal data, as a data controller, relating to:

  • visitors ("Website Visitors") to our website; and
  • users ("Mobile App Users") of our mobile apps, which are accessible via the App Store

and together the Website Visitors and Mobile App Users shall be the "Users" (and "you" and "your" shall refer to any User).

Important Note: Our Mobile Apps are designed to be used without creating a user account. We do not require you to sign up, log in, or provide personal registration details to access the content.

We update this notice from time to time, so Users should check back in on a regular basis.

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website and mobile apps visitors and users. This policy applies where we are acting as a data controller with respect to the personal data of such persons.

In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" refer to TRESTART.

2. The Personal Data That We Collect

In this section we have set out the general categories of personal data that we process.

2.1 Advertising and Tracking

Our app uses the Meta (Facebook) SDK to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to help us reach new users. When you first open the app, you will be asked for permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt.

  • If you grant permission: We may collect the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA) to attribute app installs to our ad campaigns. This data is shared with Meta for ad measurement purposes only.
  • If you deny permission: No advertising identifier is collected. We use Apple's SKAdNetwork as a privacy-preserving fallback for aggregated campaign measurement.

We do not serve ads inside the app. We do not sell your data to third parties or data brokers. The Meta SDK is used solely for install attribution and campaign optimization.

2.2 Contact Data

We may process data enabling us to get in touch with you ("contact data"). The contact data may include your name, email address, and message content if you contact us via email or a support form.

2.3 Usage Data

We may process data about your use of our website and mobile apps ("usage data").

For Website Visitors: This may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, and page views.

For Mobile App Users: This includes mobile app navigation paths, the iOS Identifier for Vendor (IDFV), and information about the timing, frequency, and pattern of your service use. Important: IDFV is a device identifier assigned by Apple that is specific to our app and is NOT an advertising identifier. We use IDFV solely for subscription management (via RevenueCat) and anonymous user authentication (via Supabase). IDFV cannot be used to track you across other apps or websites.

2.4 Special Categories of Personal Data (Religious Context - App Only)

Given the specific nature of our Mobile App (Islamic stories and religious Q&A), your interaction with the content may technically reveal information regarding your religious beliefs or interests. We process this data solely to provide the requested content and AI services to you within the App. Since we do not employ user accounts, this data is not linked to a personal identity profile.

3. Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

We may process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Operations: For operating our mobile apps, providing services, and managing in-app purchases. Legal basis: legitimate interests and performance of contract.
  • Relationships and communications: For managing relationships, communicating with you, and complaint handling. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
  • Research and analysis: For researching and analysing the use of our services. Legal basis: consent and/or legitimate interests.
  • Record keeping: For creating and maintaining databases and business records. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
  • Security: For security and prevention of fraud. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
  • Legal compliance: Where necessary for compliance with legal obligations.

4. Providing Your Personal Data to Others

4.1 Hosting

Your personal data held in our mobile apps database (if any) will be stored on the servers of our hosting services providers.

4.2 Payment Processing

In-App Purchases: All payments for in-app purchases on iOS are processed securely by Apple via the App Store. We do not collect or store your full payment information.

Subscription Management (RevenueCat): We use RevenueCat to manage in-app subscriptions. RevenueCat receives purchase and subscription information from Apple to determine your subscription status. RevenueCat does not process your payment card details.

4.3 Third-Party SDKs

We use the following third-party service providers for app functionality:

  • RevenueCat (revenuecat.com/privacy) — Subscription management only
  • Supabase (supabase.com/privacy) — Backend database and anonymous authentication

4.4 AI-Powered Features (App Only)

Our mobile apps integrate AI tools for enhanced features. When you use the AI Chat feature, the following data is sent to OpenAI for processing:

  • Your chat messages and conversation context
  • No personal identifiers (name, email, device ID) are sent to the AI service

Explicit consent is required before first use of the AI Chat feature. You will be shown a consent dialog explaining data handling before any data is transmitted.

Important Disclaimer: AI-generated responses are for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only. The AI is not a religious scholar and its outputs do not constitute authoritative religious rulings (Fatwa) or binding theological advice. Users should consult qualified scholars for specific religious rulings.

4.5 Legal Disclosures

We may disclose your personal data where necessary for compliance with legal obligations, to protect vital interests, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

5. Retaining and Deleting Personal Data

Personal data shall not be kept for longer than necessary. Since we do not maintain user accounts, most data is stored locally on your device or processed anonymously.

  • The right to access
  • The right to rectification
