Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy Commitment

Pure Path is built for Muslims seeking recovery from pornography addiction. We understand the deeply personal and sensitive nature of this journey. That is why privacy and anonymity are not features we added later. They are the foundation of everything we build.

We will never sell your data. We will never share your personal information with third parties for marketing. We will never compromise your anonymity.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

• A unique anonymous user ID (auto-generated, not linked to your real identity)
• Gender preference (for gender-segregated community features)
• Age group (for content personalization)
• Notification preferences

We do not collect your real name, email address, phone number, or any personally identifiable information during account creation.

Recovery Data

• Streak tracking data (start date, current streak, longest streak)
• Urge logs (intensity, triggers, mood, time of day)
• Daily check-in responses
• Journal entries
• Recovery milestone progress

Community Data

• Community posts and reactions (posted under an auto-generated anonymous username)
• Clan membership

AI Chat Data

• Conversations with the Rafiq AI Coach are processed to provide responses and may be stored temporarily to maintain conversation context within a session

3. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used exclusively to:

• Track and display your recovery progress
• Provide personalized CBT-based recovery guidance
• Power the Rafiq AI Coach with context-aware support
• Enable anonymous community participation
• Generate aggregated, non-identifiable analytics to improve the app
• Send recovery-related notifications (if you opt in)

4. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored on secure, encrypted servers. We use industry-standard security practices including:

• Encrypted database connections (TLS/SSL)
• Connection pooling with secure PostgreSQL
• No plaintext storage of sensitive information
• Regular security reviews

Your recovery data is associated only with your anonymous user ID. Even in the unlikely event of a data breach, your data cannot be traced back to your real identity.

5. Anonymous Community

Our community features are designed with Islamic principles of privacy (sitr):

• All usernames are auto-generated and anonymous
• Communities are gender-segregated in accordance with Islamic guidelines
• No profile photos or real identity information is displayed
• You can regenerate your anonymous username at any time
• Community posts are moderated to maintain a safe, supportive environment

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• AI Language Model: To power the Rafiq AI Coach. Conversations are sent to the AI provider for processing. We do not send any personally identifiable information with these requests.
• Hosting Provider: Our servers are hosted on secure, managed infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit.

We do not use any third-party advertising SDKs, tracking pixels, or analytics services that can identify you personally.

7. Data Retention

Your recovery data is retained for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of all your data at any time by contacting us. Upon deletion:

• All recovery tracking data is permanently removed
• All journal entries are permanently deleted
• All community posts are anonymized or removed
• All AI chat history is deleted

8. Children's Privacy

Pure Path is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app, please contact us and we will delete their data immediately.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access all data associated with your anonymous ID
• Request deletion of all your data
• Opt out of notifications at any time
• Regenerate your anonymous community username
• Export your recovery data

10. Stealth Mode

Pure Path includes a Stealth Mode feature that disguises the app's appearance on your device. When enabled, the app icon and name change to appear as a different, innocuous application. This feature is designed to protect your privacy in shared device environments.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
