Summary: The Al-Muwatta App is built with your privacy in mind. Most data — bookmarks, notes, progress — stays entirely on your device. We never sell your data and we don't require account registration to use the app.
The Al-Muwatta App ("we", "our", "the App") is an Islamic educational application providing access to the hadith collection of Imam Malik ibn Anas. We are based in Nigeria and serve users globally, with particular focus on West African Muslim communities.

Data on your device is retained until you delete the app or manually clear app data.
