This Privacy Policy explains how Qibla Compass ("we", "us", "our", or "the App") handles information when you use our mobile application.
By using Qibla Compass, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect or access the following information depending on the features you use and the permissions you grant.
Qibla Compass may request access to your device location to determine your approximate geographical position and calculate the direction of the Qibla.
Location access is used to provide location-based features such as Qibla direction, prayer times, weather information, and Islamic date information where applicable.
We do not require location access for features that do not need it. You can disable location permission at any time through your device settings.
Device and Sensor Information
The App may use device sensors, including the compass, accelerometer, and gyroscope, to determine device orientation and provide accurate Qibla direction.
Sensor information is used to provide the requested functionality and is not intended to identify you personally.
Usage and Diagnostic Information
We may collect limited technical and diagnostic information, such as:
Device type, operating system version, app version, approximate country or region, crash information, performance information, and information about how features are used.
This information may be collected through analytics and crash reporting services to help us maintain, improve, and troubleshoot the App.
The App may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising partners.
Advertising partners may collect certain device or advertising-related information, such as advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location, ad interaction information, and diagnostic information, subject to their own privacy policies and applicable consent requirements.
Where required, we request the appropriate consent before using data for personalized advertising or tracking.
2. How We Use Information
Information may be used to:
Provide and improve Qibla direction and location-based features.
Calculate Qibla direction based on your geographical position and device orientation.
Provide prayer times, weather, Islamic date, or related features when available.
Maintain app functionality and improve performance.
Detect, prevent, and troubleshoot crashes, errors, and technical problems.
Understand general usage of the App.
Display and measure advertisements.
Comply with applicable legal requirements.
Location data is used primarily to provide location-dependent functionality.
We do not sell your precise location information.
The App does not require continuous background location access for its core Qibla direction functionality unless a specific feature explicitly requires it and appropriate permission and disclosure are provided.
You can control location access through your device's privacy settings.
We may use trusted third-party service providers for services such as advertising, analytics, crash reporting, and app functionality.
These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.
Examples may include:
Google AdMob
Google Analytics for Firebase
Firebase Crashlytics
Apple services and advertising technologies on iOS
Other service providers that may be added to support or improve the App
We only use third-party services that are appropriate for the functionality of the App and applicable privacy requirements.
5. Advertising and Tracking
Our App may contain advertisements.
On Android, advertisements may be provided through services such as Google AdMob.
On iOS, advertising and tracking practices are subject to Apple's privacy requirements. Where applicable, the App will request permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework before using data for tracking purposes.
You can manage advertising and privacy settings through your device settings.
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information with service providers when necessary to provide advertising, analytics, crash reporting, security, or other app-related services.
We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights, users, or the security of the App.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining security, analyzing performance, resolving technical issues, and complying with legal obligations.
Information handled by third-party services may be retained according to their respective privacy policies.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through the App.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Qibla Compass is not specifically directed toward children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.
You can control certain permissions through your device settings, including:
Location permission
Tracking permission on iOS
Advertising preferences
Notification permissions
You may also restrict or disable permissions that are not required for features you wish to use.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, or information about how your data is processed.
