Last Updated: 6 OCT 2026
Welcome to Salaam Travel AI ("Salaam Travel AI", "we", "our", or "us").
Salaam Travel AI is an AI-powered Muslim-friendly travel and everyday companion application that provides travel planning, halal discovery, prayer-related tools, Duas & Adhkar, Hadith, Qibla, Dhikr, and other related features.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you use our website, iOS application, Android application, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

Nearby halal restaurants
Nearby mosques

Yes. Your current Privacy Policy already mentions OpenAI, but Section 4 is too brief for the specific concern Apple raised. It says information necessary for an AI request “may be transmitted” to OpenAI, but it does not clearly document the new explicit permission gate or enumerate the information that can be transmitted. Pasted markdown
I would replace Section 4. Artificial Intelligence Services with this stronger version:
Certain Salaam Travel AI features use artificial intelligence to generate travel plans, recommendations, answers, itinerary content, and other user-requested content.
Salaam Travel AI uses OpenAI as a third-party artificial intelligence service provider for certain AI-powered features, including Salaam Companion AI and AI-powered travel planning features.
Before any information is transmitted to OpenAI for the first time, Salaam Travel AI displays an in-app disclosure and asks for the user's explicit permission. The disclosure identifies OpenAI as the third-party AI provider and explains the categories of information that may be shared.
Depending on the AI feature being used and the information provided by the user, information sent to OpenAI may include:
Travel destinations and departure locations
Travel dates
Travel preferences and interests
Itinerary information and requested activities
Accommodation, transportation, budget, halal dining, or other travel preferences voluntarily provided by the user
Messages, questions, prompts, and other information submitted through Salaam Companion AI or other AI-powered features
Other information voluntarily included by the user in an AI request
No information is transmitted to OpenAI through these AI-powered features unless the user explicitly selects “Allow & Continue” in the in-app disclosure.
If the user selects “Not Now,” the pending AI request is not transmitted to OpenAI. The user may continue using Salaam Travel AI's non-AI features.
Information shared with OpenAI is transmitted only as necessary to process the user's requested AI feature and generate the requested response. OpenAI processes such information as a third-party service provider subject to its applicable terms, privacy practices, and data-protection commitments.
Users should avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in AI prompts or requests.
Salaam Travel AI does not use users' travel information or AI conversations to train its own artificial intelligence models.
The free version of Salaam Travel AI may display advertisements.
We use Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to provide advertising within the application. Depending on your region, device settings, consent choices, and applicable law, Google and its partners may process information such as device information, advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from technical information, app interactions, and advertising interaction data.
Where required, we request consent or provide applicable privacy choices before using advertising technologies that require such consent.
Salaam Travel AI may provide rewarded advertisements. For example, users may voluntarily watch eligible rewarded advertisements to receive temporary ad-free access. A reward is provided only after the applicable rewarded-ad requirements are completed.
Advertising availability and behavior may vary by device, region, consent status, subscription status, and ad availability.
Users with an eligible Ad-Free or Travel+ subscription do not receive the advertising experience intended for free users while their applicable subscription remains active.
Google's handling of information is governed by Google's own privacy policies and applicable consent mechanisms.
Salaam Travel AI may use third-party services to provide particular features and infrastructure. Depending on the platform and features you use, these may include:
OpenAI
Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)
Google Maps Platform
Geoapify
Cloudflare
Apple App Store services
Google Play services
Analytics or diagnostic services, where enabled
These third parties may process information according to their respective privacy policies and terms.
We do not sell your personal information.
Information may be disclosed to third parties where reasonably necessary to operate the Services, including:
OpenAI, when the user has explicitly permitted sharing and requests an AI-powered feature
Cloud and infrastructure providers
Mapping and location service providers
Advertising providers
Analytics and diagnostic providers, where used
Apple and Google for purchases and subscription management
Service providers assisting with operation or security
Government or legal authorities when disclosure is required by applicable law
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, security, or Services.
Salaam Travel AI may offer subscriptions, including Ad-Free and Travel+ plans.
Depending on the plan, subscriptions may provide benefits such as an advertising-free experience and access to additional or expanded features.
Purchases made through the iOS application are processed by the Apple App Store. Purchases made through the Android application are processed by Google Play.
We do not directly collect or store your full payment-card information for purchases processed through these app stores.
Apple and Google process payment and transaction information according to their respective privacy policies.
The app may receive information necessary to determine purchase and subscription status and provide the appropriate features.
Salaam Travel AI may provide certain features free of charge and may provide complimentary access to selected AI travel features.
Usage information or limited device/session information may be used to manage complimentary feature limits, maintain functionality, and help prevent abuse.
The availability and limits of complimentary features may change as the Services evolve.
If you grant notification permission, Salaam Travel AI may send notifications related to features you enable, which may include prayer-related reminders, Duas, Hadith, Dhikr goals, travel information, and other app functionality.
You can manage notification permissions through your device settings and, where available, within the application.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for purposes such as:
Providing and maintaining the Services
Supporting requested features
Maintaining security
Preventing fraud or abuse
Resolving disputes
Complying with legal obligations
When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted or anonymized where practicable.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service involved.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Salaam Travel AI is not directed to children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
Additional age-related protections may apply depending on the user's jurisdiction.
Depending on your country or region, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to:
Request access to certain personal information
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of certain information
Withdraw permissions previously granted
Manage location access
Manage notification permissions
Exercise applicable advertising and consent choices
Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable
Request information about how your information is processed
Some rights are subject to exceptions under applicable law.
To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information provided below.
Salaam Travel AI and its service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you reside.
These countries may have data-protection laws different from those in your jurisdiction.
Where required, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate safeguards for international processing or transfers.
We may update this Privacy Policy as Salaam Travel AI, applicable laws, or our service providers change.
When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date shown at the top of this Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
