Privacy Policy

Who we are

AbuBakr ("AbuBakr", "we", "us") is an AI-powered Islamic research engine that provides structured, citation-backed answers from Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah sources. This policy explains what information we collect through our website and mobile apps, and how we use it.

Information we collect

When you create an account (via Clerk, our authentication provider), we collect:

• Your email address and, if you provide one, your name.
• An internal account identifier used to link your conversations to your account.
• If you sign in with Google, the basic profile information Google shares with us (name, email) as part of that sign-in.

When you use AbuBakr, we collect:

• The questions you ask and the answers you receive, so we can maintain your conversation history and improve answer quality.
• Basic technical information (app version, device platform) needed to keep the app working correctly.

Microphone (optional).If you tap the microphone button to speak a question, we ask for microphone access and record only while you are speaking. The recording is sent to Google's Gemini API to turn it into text, which is placed in the message box for you to review before sending. We do not store your recordings.

Read aloud.If you tap “Listen” on an answer, its text is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate the audio. No audio of your voice is involved.

We do not request access to your location, contacts, camera, or photos.

How we use your information

• To generate answers to your questions, which are processed using Google's Gemini API.
• To maintain your conversation history across sessions and devices.
• To operate, secure, and improve AbuBakr.

Who we share it with

We share information only with the service providers that make AbuBakr work:

• Clerk — authentication and account management.
• Google (Gemini API) — processes your questions to generate answers, transcribes voice questions, and generates read-aloud audio.
• Our hosting providers — run the servers and databases AbuBakr operates on.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

Data retention

We retain your account information and conversation history for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us (below).

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time by emailing us at the address below, or by using our account deletion page.

Children's privacy

AbuBakr is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
