Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 August 2026

Seerah AI is an AI research assistant for the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the Quran and the authenticated Sunnah. This policy explains exactly what we collect, where it goes, and what you can do about it. It describes the service as it is actually built — not a generic template.

1. Information we collect

We collect only what the service needs to work:

  • Account details — your name, email address, and a password stored only as a bcrypt hash. We never store your password in readable form.
  • Google sign-in — if you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google. We never receive your Google password.
  • Profile answers — the religion, purpose, age, gender and knowledge level you give during sign-up. These personalise the depth and framing of answers.
  • Your conversations — the questions you ask, the answers returned, and any thumbs-up or thumbs-down you leave.
  • Attachments — if you attach a text document, its contents are read in your browser and sent with your question.
  • Technical records — for security events such as sign-in, sign-out and password resets we log the action, your email, IP address and browser user-agent.

2. How we use it

Your information is used to run the service and for nothing else:

  • To answer your questions and keep the thread of a conversation.
  • To sign you in and keep your session secure.
  • To personalise answer depth and reply in your chosen language.
  • To enforce fair-use limits so one account cannot exhaust the service.
  • To investigate abuse and security incidents.

3. How your questions reach the AI

Answers are generated by the Seerah AI retrieval service, which runs separately from this website. When you send a message we transmit your question, any attached text, your chosen answer depth and language, and a conversation identifier so follow-up questions keep their context. Your name, email address and password are never sent to it.

4. Dictation and read-aloud

Both voice features use capabilities built into your browser, not our servers — but you should know what that means:

  • Dictation uses your browser's speech recognition. In Chrome and Edge this sends your audio to the browser vendor's servers for transcription, under their privacy policy — not ours. We receive only the resulting text, and only once you send the message.
  • Read-aloud uses your browser's speech synthesis. Some browsers use cloud voices, which means the text being read may be sent to the browser vendor.
  • Both are optional. You can turn either off under Settings → Voice, and dictation only runs while you hold the microphone active.

5. Where your data is stored

Accounts, conversations, messages and feedback are stored in a managed PostgreSQL database hosted by Neon. Transport is encrypted with TLS. Rate-limiting counters are held briefly in Upstash Redis. Verification and password-reset emails are delivered by Resend.

6. Cookies and local storage

We use one cookie and no tracking. There are no advertising cookies, no third-party analytics and no cross-site trackers.

  • A single `session` cookie identifies your signed-in session. It is httpOnly, so scripts cannot read it, and it is cleared when you log out.
  • Your browser's local storage holds only your own preferences — theme, sidebar state, answer depth and voice settings. These never leave your device.

7. Who we share it with

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising. We share only what is necessary with the providers that operate the service: Neon for the database, the Seerah AI retrieval service for answers, Resend for transactional email, Upstash for rate limiting, and Google for sign-in if you choose it. We may disclose information where we are legally required to.

8. How long we keep it

Conversations are kept until you delete them or close your account. Deleting a chat removes its messages permanently. Security logs are kept for a limited period for abuse investigation. Expired sessions are removed automatically.

9. Your choices and rights

You are in control of your data:

  • Delete a single conversation from its menu in the sidebar, or delete every conversation at once under Settings → Data controls.
  • Edit your name and profile picture under Settings → Account.
  • Request a copy of your data, correction of it, or full deletion of your account by emailing us.
  • Depending on where you live you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR, including the right to object or to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

10. Children

Seerah AI is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will remove it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service develops. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed, and material changes will be notified in the app.

12. Contact us

Questions about this policy, or a request about your data, can be sent to [email protected] and we will respond as soon as we can.
