Privacy Policy

Last Updated:  August  27 2026

A2Salah is a prayer time app.
We care about your privacy and security  of your personal information.

Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data We Collect

Location Data

We use your device's precise and approximate location — via the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permissions — to calculate accurate prayer times, Qibla direction, and Islamic (Hijri) date information for your current location.

Your coordinates are sent to our server solely to perform this calculation in real time and are not stored in any database or retained after the calculation is returned to your device. We do not build a location history, and your location is never linked to your identity, since the App does not require an account or login.

You can disable location access at any time in your device settings. If disabled, you can still use the App by manually selecting a city.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Data

The App uses Bluetooth (BLUETOOTH_SCAN, BLUETOOTH_CONNECT, BLUETOOTH_ADVERTISE) and Wi-Fi permissions (ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, CHANGE_WIFI_STATE, CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE) solely to discover, connect to, and sync prayer time data with your compatible ESP32-based prayer clock/display device. This exchange happens directly and locally between your phone and your device over Bluetooth/Wi-Fi — it is never routed through our servers or shared with any third party.

Reminder Data

When you create a prayer reminder in the App (for example, an Iqama reminder with a custom time offset), the reminder's label, associated prayer, and offset are sent to and stored on our server so your reminders can be retrieved reliably. This data is not tied to your name, email, or any other personally identifying information, as no account is required to use the App. You can edit or delete any reminder at any time directly within the App, which removes it from our server as well.

Locally Stored Data

Your app preferences and settings — including notification sounds, timing adjustments, muted prayers, and onboarding status — are stored only on your device and are never transmitted to us or any third party.

Notification Data

We use the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM and USE_EXACT_ALARM permissions to schedule prayer time and reminder notifications directly on your device. These notifications are generated and delivered entirely on-device and do not involve any data being sent to our servers.

How We Use This Data

We use the data described above to:

• Calculate and display accurate prayer times, Qibla direction, and Hijri calendar dates for your location

• Sync prayer time data with your connected ESP32 prayer clock device

• Save and retrieve the reminders you create within the App

• Deliver timely, on-device notifications for prayer times and reminders

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. The App does not integrate any third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.

Children's Privacy

Our application does not address any one under the age of 13. we do not collect any personal information  from children through  our application.

We may update our Privacy Policy time to time. we will notify you  of any changes  by posting the new privacy policy  on this page.
