Privacy Policy

If you create an account: you sign in with your email and a password, a one-time code sent to your email or phone, Sign in with Apple, or Google. We store your name, email address, phone number (if you add one), profile photo (the one you add, or your Google photo), the City you choose, your optional About text (up to 200 characters), the Speakers you follow, your saved Majalis and Reminders, your notification settings and the notifications we send you, and a link to the Submissions you make. With Apple or Google we receive your name, email and an account ID from them; we never see your Apple or Google password. A password you set is stored only in scrambled (hashed) form.

Your City: we use it only to tell you about new Majalis there. We do not track where you are.

When you submit a Majlis: your name, phone number, optional email address, the Majlis details and any Poster or Speaker photo you upload. Your contact details are only seen by Mawaddat Admins, who use them to check and approve the Submission. They are never shown publicly.

Saved Majalis: without an account, stored only on your device (in your browser or in the app) and we do not receive this list. With an account, we store them with your account so they follow you to every device you sign in on.

Reminders on the website: if you allow notifications, your browser gives us a push address for that browser. We store it with the Majlis and time you chose, and delete it 7 days after the reminder time. Reminders in the app are scheduled on your phone. Without an account they are never sent to us; with an account we store the Majlis and reminder time with your account.

Usage analytics: we use Microsoft Clarity to understand how pages are used (for example clicks, scrolling and pages visited) so we can improve Mawaddat. Clarity is not used on the Admin pages.

Technical data: like any website, our servers process your IP address to deliver pages and to limit abuse, such as too many Submissions from one address.

We rely on a few providers to run Mawaddat: Vercel and Render (hosting), MongoDB Atlas (database), Microsoft Clarity (analytics), Woosmap (place search when you add a new Venue on Submit), Apple and Google (only if you sign in with them), an email and text-message service (to send sign-in codes) and your browser's or phone's notification service. Opening a Venue in Google Maps takes you to Google, under Google's own privacy policy.

We do not sell your data, show ads, or track your location; we only store the City you choose.

The app asks for camera or photo access only when you choose to add a Poster, a Speaker photo or your profile photo. Only the image you pick is uploaded.

Mawaddat is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

This applies to the Mawaddat website and the Mawaddat app.

If you have an account, delete it yourself at any time: in the app, open the Profile tab and tap Delete Account; on the website, open My account and choose Delete account. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.

Deleting your account removes: your account and sign-in details, name, email address, phone number, profile photo, City, About text, followed Speakers, saved Majalis, Reminders, notifications and notification settings. If you signed in with Apple, we also ask Apple to end Mawaddat's access to your Apple ID.

What stays after deleting your account: your Submissions, no longer linked to you but still holding the contact details you typed on them. To have those removed too, email us as below.

Without an account, or to have the data from your Submissions deleted:

1. Email hello@mawaddat.app with the subject "Delete my data".
2. Include the phone number you entered on the Submission, so we can find your data.
3. We delete it within 30 days of your request and reply to confirm.

What we delete: your name, phone number, email address and any Poster or Speaker photo you uploaded. If your Majlis is listed and you also want the listing removed, say so in your email.

What we keep: nothing that identifies you. Copies in our database backups are removed as those backups expire. Usage analytics from Microsoft Clarity are not linked to your name or phone number.

On your device: without an account, Saved Majalis and app Reminders never reach us. Remove them in the website or app at any time, or uninstall the app. Website Reminder push addresses are deleted automatically 7 days after the reminder time.

To ask what we hold about you, email hello@mawaddat.app.

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
