Local app data is protected by iOS sandboxing and, where applicable, device encryption
Depending on your region, you may have the right to:

Delete your data (for local data: simply delete the app; for RevenueCat data: contact us)
Opt out of data collection by not using features that require network access (AI Tafsir, prayer times API)
