Privacy Policy – Iman Vakti

This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected within the Iman Vakti application, how it is used, and what rights you have regarding your information. By using the application, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Data We Collect

The application may operate using the following permissions and data:

a) Location Information (Optional / Permission-Based)

The application may request access to your device’s location to improve features such as prayer time calculations, Qibla direction, and location-based services.

When location permission is granted, the application may:

• Access your device’s current location temporarily,
  
  

• Perform calculations based on city or district level location data.
  
  

Some features may operate with limited functionality without granting location permission (for example, manual city selection).

b) Notification Permission (Optional / Permission-Based)

The application may request notification permission to provide:

• Prayer time reminders,
  
  

• Religious day notifications,
  
  

• Similar reminder alerts.
  
  

Notifications can be disabled at any time through your device settings.

c) App Usage Data (Optional)

For performance improvement and error monitoring purposes, the application may collect limited technical data such as:

• Device type,
  
  

• Application version,
  
  

• Crash logs and diagnostic data.
  
  

Whenever possible, this data is processed in a way that does not directly identify users.

Note: The application does not request sensitive personal information such as national identification numbers or similar personal data.

2. Purpose of Data Usage

Collected data may be used for the following purposes:

• Providing prayer times, Qibla direction, and location-based features,
  
  

• Scheduling and delivering notifications,
  
  

• Improving application security and performance,
  
  

• Detecting errors and enhancing user experience.
  
  

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data.

Your data may only be shared under the following circumstances:

• When required by legal obligations (court orders or official requests),
  
  

• With essential service providers necessary for application functionality (such as notification infrastructure or analytics services). These providers process data solely for service delivery purposes.
  
  

4. Data Retention

• Location data is processed whenever possible on the device and may not be stored permanently.
  
  

• Certain preferences (such as selected city or notification settings) may be stored locally on your device.
  
  

• Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill its intended purpose.
  
  

5. Managing Permissions

You may manage permissions at any time through your device settings:

• Location permission can be disabled (some features may become limited),
  
  

• Notification permission can be disabled (reminders will not be delivered).
  
  

6. Children’s Privacy

The application is not specifically directed to children under the age of 13.
If we become aware that personal data from children has been collected unintentionally, appropriate steps will be taken to delete such information.

7. Religious Content and Disclaimer (Important)

All content provided within the application — including prayer times, religious days, Qibla direction, supplications, and informational texts — is intended for informational purposes only.

Accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all times.

Calculations may vary due to factors such as:

• Device sensors,
  
  

• Location accuracy,
  
  

• Different calculation methods,
  
  

• Calendar or institutional differences,
  
  

• Local religious practices.
