We take your privacy seriously. Here's exactly what we collect and why.
We only collect your IP address for necessary API calls. That's it. No email addresses, no names, no personal profiles—nothing else.
We don't create user accounts or profiles. We don't track your travel history on our servers. Your data is yours alone.
All your flight data, preferences, and history are stored locally on your device. You have complete control over your information.
Calendar access (optional, for saving flights) and location access (optional, for nearby airports—calculated on your device only).

Rihla is designed with privacy as a core principle. We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:
What we DON'T collect: We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, precise location, browsing history, or any other personal identifiable information.
The limited information we collect is used solely for:
We do NOT use your information for advertising, marketing, selling to third parties, or any other commercial purposes.
All your personal data—including flight history, saved locations, and preferences—is stored locally on your device. We do not maintain copies of this data on our servers.
If you uninstall the app or clear app data, all your personal information will be permanently deleted from your device. We cannot recover it because we never had it.
Calendar Access (Optional):
If you choose to save flights to your calendar, Rihla will request calendar permission. This is entirely optional and can be denied without affecting core app functionality.
Location Access (Optional):
To find nearby airports, Rihla may request your location. All distance calculations happen on your device—we never send your location to our servers. This permission is also optional.
Rihla uses third-party APIs for flight data. These services may collect IP addresses as part of standard API requests. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies:
Rihla does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app is designed for general audiences and does not contain age-restricted content.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through the app or our website. Continued use of Rihla after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
You have the right to:
Our commitment: Your privacy is not negotiable. We will never sell your data, track you unnecessarily, or compromise your trust.
