Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 14, 2026
01Scope
This policy applies to the Al-Mohammad Ali Family website, iOS app, Android app, and web app. The app is private and intended for approved members of the Al-Mohammad Ali family. We collect only the information needed to operate the family tree and related family services.
02Information We Collect
We may collect your phone number or username for verification and sign-in, your full name and family relationship data needed for the family tree, and birth or death dates when available for generation ordering and family record keeping.
You may choose to add a profile photo, short biography, links, project details, or diwaniya details. We may also collect device notification tokens, session identifiers, and limited operational logs such as last active time to support security and reliability.
03How We Use Information
We use information to verify member identity, manage accounts, display the family tree and relationships, operate diwaniyas, projects and notifications, review registration requests, and protect the app from unauthorized use.
We do not use your data to build advertising profiles, sell your data, or serve behavioral advertising.
04SMS, WhatsApp, and Voice Verification
We use SMS, WhatsApp Business API, and voice calls only to deliver one-time verification codes for login. We do not use these channels for marketing or commercial messages.
WhatsApp may be used as an alternative delivery channel if SMS delivery is unavailable or unsuccessful.
05Notifications
We may send family-related notifications such as news, events, diwaniyas, projects, or administrative requests. You can disable device notifications in your operating system settings, although important notices may still appear inside the app.
06Service Providers and Processing
We use Supabase for database hosting, image storage, and authentication; Apple Push Notification service, Firebase, or similar services for device notifications when needed; and WhatsApp Business or Twilio providers only to deliver verification codes.
Service providers process data only as needed to provide, operate, or protect the service.
07Data Sharing
We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for marketing. Family tree and profile data is visible only to approved members inside the app according to available visibility controls and permissions.
We may disclose limited information if required by law, to protect family rights or app security, or to investigate clear misuse.
08Retention and Deletion
We keep data while an account is active or while it is needed to preserve family records and operate the app. You may request account deletion from app settings or by contacting the official email address.
When an account is deleted, non-essential personal data is deleted or hidden within 30 days. Limited relationship or historical data may remain if needed to keep the family tree consistent or if legally required.
09Your Rights and Choices
You can view and update your information, change your photo and biography, request correction of inaccurate data, hide certain information where supported, or request a copy of your data by contacting the official email address.
10Security
Data is transmitted using encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections and stored in protected databases. We use access controls and administrative review to reduce unnecessary access to data. However, no online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11Children and Minors
The app is intended for private family use. Relationship information for minors may appear in the family tree when added by a guardian or approved family administrator. The app is not intended to collect children's data for public use or marketing.
12Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest update date will appear on this page, and important changes may be announced in the app or on the website.
