Principles, privacy and terms

What TheOptimalPath stands on, what it keeps, who can see it, and what you can always do. Plain words, no small print.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهَا

“Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due.”

An-Nisāʾ 4:58
Seven principles

They follow the aims of the Sharia (maqāṣid): protecting faith, life, mind, family and wealth. Your data is an amāna, a trust.

  1. Worship stays between you and Allah. Prayers, Qur'an, fasting and giving are never scored, ranked, compared or shown to anyone, and never sent to a cloud AI.
  2. Your data is yours. It is kept to serve you, not to profile you. You can download all of it at any time.
  3. No ads, no selling. Your data is never sold, rented, traded or used for advertising.
  4. No dark patterns. No streaks, guilt, fake urgency or pressure. Reminders are opt-in, gentle and easy to turn off.
  5. Halal and honest. No features built on interest, gambling or deception. Tools such as the zakat calculator help you; they do not replace a scholar.
  6. AI is your choice. Nothing goes to an AI unless you connect it and tick what it may see. You can revoke it in one click.
  7. Open to scrutiny. The code is meant to be open source, so anyone can check that these words match what it does.
Who can see your data

To work (your daily plan, reminders, Telegram, AI connections), the app has to read your data on the server. That means whoever runs this instance can technically read it too. True end-to-end encryption would switch those features off, so we rely on a firm commitment instead:

What is kept, and where
Before you connect anything

Connect only services you trust. Whatever you connect receives that data under its own terms, which we do not control.
