Wasilah · Data Deletion
Request data deletion
Wasilah is privacy-first: we do not require an account, and we store nothing on a server we control. Everything the app holds about you lives on your device only. This page explains exactly how to delete it.
The fastest method: uninstall the app.
As of version 1.1.0, all data the app remembers — preferences, bookmarks, downloaded Quran audio cache, cached prayer-time inputs, locally-stored crash diagnostics — lives in your device's app sandbox. Uninstalling Wasilah removes the sandbox and with it every byte of that data. There is no server-side profile to clean up.
What we hold and where it lives
| Data type | Where it is stored | Removed by |
|---|---|---|
| App preferences (language, calculation method, theme, notification toggles) | Locally on your device only | Uninstalling the app |
| Bookmarks and downloaded Quran content | Locally in the app's SQLite cache | Uninstalling the app |
| Location coordinates | In process memory and a local preferences store (so the home-screen widget can read them). Never transmitted to a server. | Uninstalling the app |
| Crash and diagnostic data (Apple MetricKit, iOS only) | Locally in the app's caches directory. iOS aggregates anonymous payloads on its own schedule. | Uninstalling the app, or opting out in Settings → Diagnostics → Crash reports |
We do not hold names, email addresses, phone numbers, contacts, photos, payment information, push notification tokens, or any account credentials. Wasilah does not connect to any backend service that we operate.
How to delete — step by step
Step 1 — Uninstall the app
Long-press the Wasilah icon on your home screen and choose Remove App → Delete App (iOS) or Uninstall (Android). This removes the app's sandbox, which contains every piece of data the app ever stored about your usage.
Step 2 — (iOS only, optional) opt out of MetricKit before uninstall
If you want to stop new diagnostic payloads from being collected before you uninstall, open Settings → Diagnostics → Crash reports in the app and toggle it off. MetricKit is Apple's first-party telemetry framework and runs at the operating-system level; data it collects is stored only inside the app's sandbox and is removed when you uninstall.
Step 3 — Network-provider records (out of our hands)
The app makes HTTPS requests to two third-party providers whose own server logs may briefly record your IP address according to their privacy policies:
- AlQuran.cloud — for Quran text and translation. See alquran.cloud/terms-and-conditions.
- islamic.network — for Quran recitation audio.
We do not control these logs and we do not receive a copy of them. To request deletion of any record those providers may hold, contact them directly via the links above.
