Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 25, 2026

Advisory: New Platform & User Discretion

Hasab is a newly launched platform under continuous development. While we implement security safeguards to protect your data, users are advised to exercise discretion when sharing content publicly, maintain backups, and use the platform at their own risk.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Hasab (“we”, “our”, or “us”). We are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your data when you use the Hasab website, iOS application, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

2. Information We Collect

In accordance with our App Privacy declarations, we collect information strictly to provide and improve app functionality. We do not track users across third-party websites or sell user data.

Account Information: When you sign in with Apple, Google, or other supported providers, we receive your name, email address (or private relay email), unique provider identifier, and optional avatar image.
User-Generated Content: Posts, documents, designs, comments, direct messages, and media (photos/videos) that you upload or publish through the Service.
Device & Notification Data: Device push tokens (APNs) used solely to deliver notifications that you enable, as well as essential session tokens stored securely in your device keychain or encrypted cookies.
Safety & Moderation Records: Content reports, block relationships, and moderation appeal records generated to enforce community safety standards.

3. How We Use Your Information

To operate, authenticate, and maintain your Hasab account.
To display and share your content with the community and members you interact with.
To enforce our Community Guidelines, investigate abuse, and moderate objectionable content.
To send transactional alerts and optional push notifications.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Content you choose to publish publicly is accessible to other users of the Service. Private media and direct messages are restricted to authorized recipients and authenticated session owners. We may disclose information only if required by law or to protect user safety and security.

5. Account Deletion & Data Retention

You have full control over your account. You can request permanent deletion of your Hasab account from the app or the web Safety & Reports Center:

In the iOS App: Navigate to My Profile → Account Settings → Delete Account and confirm. Access is disabled immediately. A background process removes your profile, authored posts, comments, messages, owned uploads, relationships, bookmarks, notifications, and device tokens. Cleanup waits for existing upload links to expire and retries if a storage or provider service is unavailable. Shared groups remain for other members. Limited account identifiers, deletion status and administrative audit records are retained for security and recovery; AI billing totals are retained without your user identifier. Backup copies expire according to the operator’s backup retention schedule.

You may also request account deletion or data export by contacting us at support@hasab.net.

6. Content Moderation & User Safety

Hasab maintains zero tolerance for abusive users or objectionable content. Users have access to built-in tools to block users and report offensive material. Reports are reviewed by human moderators. To manage your blocks or appeal a moderation decision, visit our Safety & Reports Center.
