Privacy Policy
What moulvi.si stores, where it lives, and which outside services see your requests.
In short
You can read, search and study without an account. Without an account, your reading data stays in your browser. If you sign in, it is saved to our database so it follows you. Questions to Ask Moulvi are sent to an AI provider to generate an answer and are not saved by moulvi.si. We do not run analytics or advertising on this site.
Reading without an account
Bookmarks, reading position, settings, reading plans and memorization progress are kept in your browser's local storage on this device. They are not sent to our server. Clearing site data in your browser deletes them, and they do not move to other devices.
Accounts
Sign-in is provided by Clerk, an authentication service. Clerk processes the details you use to sign in, such as your email address or the sign-in provider you choose, under its own privacy policy. moulvi.si receives an account identifier from Clerk so it can link your saved data to you.
Data saved to your account
When you are signed in, your reader state (bookmarks, position, settings and plans) is stored in the app's PostgreSQL database, linked to your account identifier. Memorization progress stays on your device unless you explicitly save an account copy; restoring that copy is also an explicit action.
Community reflections
If you post a reflection, its text, the verse it refers to and your display name are stored in the database. Approved reflections are shown publicly to other readers; pending submissions and moderation reasons remain visible to their author and authorised moderators. Reports, moderation decisions, daily posting limits and an audit record of moderation actions are also stored to keep the space safe. Moderators can see reported content and moderation history.
Ask Moulvi
When you ask a question, the question, your chosen language and recent turns of that conversation are sent from our server to OpenAI to search the source library and write an answer. moulvi.si does not save your questions or answers in its database; the conversation exists only in your open page and is gone when you leave or reload. OpenAI handles the request under its own terms. Avoid including names, health details or other personal information in questions.
Translations and recitation audio
The Arabic text and Sahih International translation come from a corpus bundled with the app. Other translations, transliteration and tafsir are requested live from AlQuran.cloud, and recitation audio streams from EveryAyah.com. Those services receive the usual technical details of a web request, such as your IP address, when your browser or our server contacts them.
Contact messages
If you use the contact form, the message and the optional name and reply email you choose to give are stored privately in our database. A one-way hash of your connection's IP address is stored alongside it to limit repeated submissions. Messages have no public page or public API. No automatic email is sent.
Server logs
Like most web servers, ours records technical request logs (such as the requested path and response status) to keep the service running and to diagnose errors.
Your choices
You can use the site without an account. You can clear browser storage at any time, edit or remove your own community reflections, and sign out. We have not yet published a fixed retention period; if you want account data or a message removed, ask through the contact form.
