Introduction Welcome to Rida AI, a Shia AI Companion developed by Aetherfall Interactive. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your interactions with Rida are secure and respectful. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information.
1)Information We Collect Voluntarily Provided Information: We do not collect the text of your conversations with Rida AI to provide responses. We do not require you to provide personally identifiable information (PII) such as your full name or address to use the core features of the app.
2)Location Information: To provide accurate Namaz timings and determine the correct Qibla direction, we access your device’s location. This location data is used locally on your device to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction. We do not store your precise location on our servers.
3)Automatically Collected Information: Like most mobile apps, we may collect basic technical data such as your device type, operating system version, and anonymized usage statistics (e.g., session length) to improve app performance.
4)Account Information: If you create an account, we may store your email address to manage your subscription and preferences (optional).
AI and Data Processing
5)Generative AI Disclosure: Rida AI uses advanced artificial intelligence to generate responses. Please be aware that interactions are processed by AI models.
6)Third-Party AI Providers: To generate responses, your prompts (stripped of personal identifiers where possible) may be processed by third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI or Anthropic). These providers do not have permission to use your data to train their global models.
7)Verified Knowledge Base: Rida AI utilizes a dedicated database of verified Shia information to ensure accuracy and religious sensitivity.
Data Retention and Deletion
8)Chat History: We do not store your chat history on our servers; all conversations are stored locally on your device so you can continue conversations across sessions without your data leaving your phone.
9)User Control: You can delete individual chats or your entire account at any time within the app settings. Once deleted, your data is purged immediately.
10)Security We implement industry-standard encryption (TLS) for all data in transit. While we take every precaution, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you not to share sensitive personal details (like financial info or passwords) in your chats with the AI.
11)Children’s Privacy Rida AI is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
12)Changes to This Policy We may update this policy periodically. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy within the app.
