Hilal — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22/09/2026
Hilal ("the app") is operated by INCOGNITO LABS LIMITED.
The short version. Hilal collects nothing. There are no accounts, no servers, and the app makes no network connections of any kind. Nothing you do in it reaches us or anyone else. There is no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking.
This policy exists because the App Store requires one — not because there is much to disclose.
Questions: ilya@incognitolabs.org
1.What stays on your device
The app saves a small amount of information locally, using the standard iOS preferences store. None of it is transmitted anywhere:
- A display name, if you enter one during setup. It is shown only to you, on your own screen.
- Your reading preferences — Arabic script style, translation choice, text size, interface style.
- Your reading and memorisation progress — what you have read, bookmarked, noted or practised.
All of it lives on your device, is included in your own encrypted device backup if you use one, and is permanently deleted when you delete the app. We have no copy and cannot retrieve any of it.
2.What we do not collect
To be explicit, the app does not collect or transmit:
- Your name, email address, or any contact details
- Your location
- Your contacts, calendar, photos or camera
- Any device or advertising identifier (no IDFA)
- Usage analytics, crash reports or diagnostics
- Anything at all, by any means
3.No third parties
The app contains no third-party SDKs, no analytics, no advertising networks and no social integrations. We share nothing with anyone, because we hold nothing.
The app makes no network requests, so no data leaves your device in the course of using it.
4.Payments
The app is free. If paid features are introduced, payment will be handled entirely by Apple. We would never see your card details.
5.Children
The app collects no personal data from anyone, of any age. It is suitable for general audiences.
6.Your rights
Under UK and EU data protection law you have rights to access, correct, delete and port your personal data. Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to provide, correct or erase — deleting the app removes everything.
If you want to exercise a right or have a concern, email ilya@incognitolabs.org and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with our response you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, or to your local supervisory authority if you are in the EEA.
7.Security
Because nothing is transmitted or stored off your device, there is no server holding your data and no transmission to intercept. Information saved locally is protected by your device's own security and encryption.
8.Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed, and we'll tell you in the app if a change is significant. In particular, if we add a feature that sends anything off your device, we will update this policy and say so clearly before that feature ships.
