What happens to the information I provide when I sign-up for Athan Academy App?

Old Classes and Quran Classes

Old classes is not a new section; they were previously referred to as “Online Classes” in the app and they will remain functional for users who wish to keep using them. Quran classes are a new addition to Athan Academy.
When you send an audio to any class in one of your old classes or in any assignment in Quran classes, we will use your mobile phone’s microphone to send your audio recording to our teacher. Athan Academy will save these audios and use this data to help improve the quality of these classes.
Athan Academy does not share any of your personal data with the teachers other than the name with which you have created your account on Athan Academy. You are free to choose whether you give permission to Athan Academy to use your mobile device’s microphone.

Masterclasses

The “Masterclasses” are the new addition to our platform which are special paid courses for advanced learning. They have a community section where the users buying the masterclasses can share their thoughts with other paid users of that masterclass. In the community section, Athan Academy does not share any of your personal data with the teachers or other users other than the name with which you have created your account on Athan Academy.
