Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Introduction

Samla (صملة) helps you quit porn addiction, privately. We collect only what the app needs, show no ads, and never sell your data.

What we collect

• Account: a random ID and a pseudonym you choose. Your email only if you link Apple (we never ask for your name, and you can hide your email).
• Your progress: a backup of your data in the app (streak, relapses, program, journal and notes, and your first answers including age and gender) so you can restore it on a new phone.
• Community: your posts, comments, likes and bio, plus reports and blocks. Subscribers see them under your pseudonym.
• Dhiban AI: your messages and its replies.
• Subscription: its status and end date, from Apple. We never see your card.
• Network address: not stored. We keep a value derived from it to limit Dhiban messages, deleted after two days.

What we don't collect

• Advertising identifiers or any tracking.
• Third-party analytics or crash-reporting tools.
• Location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.

Dhiban AI

Optional, and it asks for your consent before the first message. Our server sends your message, the recent conversation and a short summary of your progress (such as your day and reasons) to OpenAI for a reply. We never send your email or account ID, and the conversation is kept until you delete your account.

How we use your data

• To run the app and keep your progress.
• For Dhiban AI's replies.
• To run the community and review reports.
• To check your subscription.

We don't sell your data or use it for ads.

Who we share it with

• Supabase (Germany): servers and database.
• OpenAI (USA): Dhiban AI's replies.
• RevenueCat (USA): subscription checks.
• Apple: payments and sign-in.

They process data only to run Samla, with protection no weaker than this policy. Your data is stored and processed outside Saudi Arabia.

Retention and deletion

We keep your data while your account exists. Delete it in Profile → Settings → Delete account, or email us: your account and all its data are deleted from our servers at once, and if you linked Apple we revoke the app's access. This does not cancel your subscription; cancel it in your Apple settings.

Your rights

• See your data and get a copy, by emailing us.
• Correct or delete it.
• Withdraw consent any time: stop using Dhiban AI, and turn off notifications in Settings.

Age

Samla is for people aged 15 and over.
