Privacy Policy

Account information

When you create an account, we may collect information such as:

• your email address;
• your name or profile information, if provided;
• account identifiers;
• authentication-related information.

Authentication may be provided through third-party infrastructure. Tabayyun does not need to receive or store your plaintext password.

Content you provide

When using Tabayyun, you may submit information such as:

• questions and prompts;
• research topics;
• khutbah topics and drafts;
• stories, examples, or community context;
• source requests;
• saved answers;
• bookmarks;
• feedback;
• contact-form messages;
• uploaded material where supported.

Some information you submit may be personal or sensitive. You should avoid submitting information that is not necessary for your use of the service.

Usage and technical information

We may collect technical and usage information necessary to operate, secure, and improve Tabayyun, including:

• pages or features used;
• timestamps;
• error and diagnostic information;
• browser or device information;
• IP address;
• security and abuse-prevention information;
• performance data.

If analytics services are introduced in the future, this Policy may be updated to describe them.

We may use information to:

• provide and operate Tabayyun;
• authenticate users and maintain accounts;
• generate and display answers, research, and khutbah content;
• save history, bookmarks, drafts, and other user-requested content;
• verify sources and improve reliability;
• provide customer support;
• respond to feedback or inquiries;
• prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access;
• diagnose technical problems;
• improve product quality and usability;
• administer subscriptions and payments if paid plans are introduced;
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not use submitted information to create religious rulings about a specific user beyond what the user has asked the service to analyze.

Tabayyun uses artificial intelligence systems to help process user requests and generate responses.

Relevant portions of user input, retrieved source material, and conversation context may be sent to third-party model or infrastructure providers as necessary to provide the service.

We aim to minimize unnecessary disclosure of personal information. Users should not submit highly sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the request.

Tabayyun may process user questions involving religious beliefs, practices, personal circumstances, or Islamic legal questions.

Such information may be sensitive in nature.

Tabayyun uses this information to provide the requested research or educational functionality and should not be treated as a confidential scholar-client, mufti-mustafti, legal, medical, or professional relationship.

We may rely on service providers for functions such as:

• hosting;
• databases;
• authentication;
• AI model processing;
• email delivery;
• monitoring and security;
• payment processing;
• file storage.

These providers may process information on our behalf subject to their own contractual and security obligations.

If paid subscriptions are offered, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider.

Tabayyun does not need to directly store full payment-card information when payment processing is handled by an external payment processor.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• provide the service;
• maintain user accounts;
• preserve user-requested history or saved content;
• maintain security;
• resolve disputes;
• comply with legal obligations;
• improve reliability where permitted.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is processed.

Users may be able to delete certain saved content through the product where supported.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect user information.

However, no website, database, transmission method, or software system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials.

Depending on your location, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to:

• access information we hold about you;
• request corrections;
• request deletion;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• request information about how your data is used.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Tabayyun is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children where doing so would violate applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, contact us at contact@tabayyun.net.

Our infrastructure and service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

Where required, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate protections for cross-border processing.

Tabayyun may link to third-party websites, scholarly resources, institutions, or source material.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

We may update this Privacy Policy as Tabayyun changes.

If material changes are made, we may provide notice through the service or by another appropriate method.

The date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last updated.
