We do not share your email or password with anyone. Some other data maybe shared though. For example, your mobile number is shared with our service provider for sending OTPs or SMS messages. Your name and other related details are shared with another service provider when you request for Ziyarat at Haram-e-Imam husain (a.s.).
Limited use of data policy
This app's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
For you, it simply means that we ask/retrieve/access only as much data about you as much is required for the app or the feature to work properly. Whenever we access new data about you, it won't be without your permission.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
When you create an account on our app, it stays there regardless of you login or not. There’s no feature to delete an account yet so all of your information stays in the database. However, since access to database is limited to apps and APIs only, and that our databases are hosted with Amazon (which is pretty secure and reliable), you can rest assured that you data and information is safe with us.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or on our app, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
This does not include some of the data that is stored on your device since we do not have access to it. This data keeps changing or get purged when you clear phone data.
