Option to opt-out of our voices being recorded when using Read-Along.

MAIN OBJECTIVES:
- Option to use 'Read Along' without our voice being recorded. People who want to opt-out can do so and those who wish to not do so, may not. This should be the case at the very least for women.
Even ChatGPT is allowing people to opt-out of their data being collected now.
- Option ON APP to delete ALL our voice recordings (from my device and request to delete it from your server).
- So weird that I can't view MY DATA (voice recordings) without paying? Like I understand additional features requiring a payment but this is my private data.
DETAIL:
I love 'Read Along' but there's a privacy issue. We have no option but to record our voices to use that feature. Our private data (voice recording) is saved on your server for AI training. We have NO OPTION to delete this, or to opt-out of our voices being recorded and stored on your server for AI training. We can't even view OUR recordings without paying for premium.
I'm sure women love their voice being recorded. Lovely. 10/10. /sarcasm
No option = no trust.
Thanks.

Good news! The app has recently launched the option to opt out from saving audio data or allowing AI training! This option is available and can be accessed through the settings under the user preferences section!

Mohanad E: I just updated the App, but the feature doesnt work. When I click to deselect "Save Audio Data" and "Allow AI Training" in "User Preferences" it just asks me to pay for premium. Which is likely a bug. I hope it is fixed when possible.
I do appreciate the quick action, though.
JazakAllah Khair (may Allah reward you with good).

Far: Jazak Allah Khair for your reply. The option to opt out from "Save Audio Data" or "Allow AI Training" is available for premium users only. You'll be able to access these settings in addition to all the other premium features if you're subscribed to the premium subscription accordingly.

Mohanad E: Tarteel (an Islamic App) records women's voice data and uses it for AI training and we can't even delete the data. Insane. You recently gave us an option to Opt-Out of it. Guess what? The option to Opt-Out is only available for Premium Users.
I have NEVER, in my life, seen a company offering some privacy only if you pay for it. And this isn't about Ads. This is a basic privacy feature. And this an Islamic App where women's voices are being recorded without our consent. Incredible. This is shameful.

Yes!!! Please I do not even feel comfortable hearing my own recordings let alone other ppl hearing it!! Love the app tho it’s my first time using it and I’ve been on it almost 40 mins it’s amazing, but I just hate that all my reading is getting recorded and I have no option to delete 😭

Jazak Allah Khayr for your feedback, Far. As mentioned in our support communication as well, that the team is actively working on opt out features inshaAllah for recording and deletion ability as well. Thank you for being a committed Tarteel user!
