Qibla | Prayer Times

Privacy Policy

Introduction

This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how you can control your data.

Qibla & Prayer Times – Azan, Salah & Quran App helps Muslims find accurate prayer timings, Qibla direction through compass, and read or listen to Quranic verses. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy describes what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used to improve your Islamic experience in the app. By using the app, you agree to these practices.

Information We Collect

? Device Location – We request GPS or network-based location to calculate precise prayer (Salah/Namaz) times and show the Qibla direction on the Islamic compass. This data stays local on your device; we never store or share your exact location.
? Usage Data – Anonymous usage statistics (like how often you open Azan alerts or Quran pages) help us improve app performance. This data never identifies you personally.
? Device Information – Basic details such as model, OS version, and language help ensure compatibility across Android devices.
⚙️ Preferences & Settings – Your selected calculation method, Madhab, and prayer notification choices are stored locally. We do not keep these settings on external servers.

We never collect sensitive personal data or sell information to advertisers. Your Islamic experience in this Muslim prayer app remains fully private.

How We Collect Data

Data is collected directly when you grant permissions (like Location or Notifications), use Qibla Compass, set Azan reminders, or read the Quran inside the app. No background tracking occurs without your consent.

Purpose of Data Collection and Use

? Qibla & Prayer Time Calculations – Your location helps compute accurate Salah/Namaz timings and Qibla direction based on your region.
? Azan & Prayer Reminders – Local notifications are scheduled for each prayer. You can customize or disable them in app settings.
? App Improvement – Aggregated anonymous data helps us fix bugs and enhance your Quran reading or compass experience.
? No Ads or Third-Party Tracking – We do not collect data for advertising or unrelated analytics purposes.

Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

We never sell or share your personal data, precise location, or Quran reading activity with marketers. Limited, non-personal data may be shared with trusted analytics tools only to measure app stability and performance. All prayer-related calculations, Azan scheduling, and compass functions occur locally. Payment information (if any) is handled securely by Google Play or Apple App Store. Data may be disclosed only if legally required or to protect user safety.

Data Storage and Security

All Qibla direction and prayer time calculations run on your device. We do not store your location, Quran progress, or preferences on servers. Any limited data is saved securely using the device’s protected storage. All communications use HTTPS encryption. Your Muslim prayer and Quran experience stays private and secure.

Permissions

? Location Permission – Needed for Qibla direction and accurate Salah/Namaz times. You can revoke it anytime in device settings.
? Notification Permission – Used to send Azan or prayer time alerts. These reminders are handled locally on your phone.
⏰ Alarm Permission – Enables automatic prayer alarms. No personal data is transmitted.

We only request essential permissions that allow Qibla compass accuracy, Azan notifications, and prayer schedule calculations to function properly.

Children’s Privacy

This Islamic app is designed for general use by Muslims and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. Parents or guardians can contact us if any such data is discovered.

User Rights and Choices

? Transparency – This Privacy Policy clearly explains what data we collect and how it is used within the Qibla & Prayer Times app.
? Access or Delete Data – Since we store no personal data on servers, most information remains on your phone. You may request deletion of any stored data if applicable.
