Privacy Policy for Prayer Time App
Effective Date: February 20, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how [Your Name/Company Name] ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Prayer Time mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. This policy is accessible via a link on the App's Google Play Store listing and within the App itself.
Information We Collect
The App uses the following data to provide its core functionality:
Location Data: The App requests access to your device's location services. With your permission, we collect both precise (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) and approximate (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) location data. This data is used solely to calculate accurate prayer times for your current location. You can revoke location permissions at any time through your device settings.
App Preferences: The App stores certain preferences locally on your device using SharedPreferences. This includes your last known latitude and longitude, preferred prayer calculation method, and theme preference (light/dark mode). This data is used to personalize your experience and is not transmitted off your device.
How We Use Your Information
Location Data: We use your location data exclusively for the purpose of calculating and displaying accurate prayer times. All calculations are performed locally on your device.
App Preferences: Stored preferences are used to provide a personalized user experience within the App.
Information We Do Not Collect
Personal Information: We do not collect any personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal details.
User Accounts: The App does not require or create user accounts.
Analytics or Tracking: We do not use any third-party analytics or tracking services.
Data Sharing
We do not share any data with third parties. All data processing occurs locally on your device. The App utilizes the following libraries for its functionality, which operate locally and do not transmit data:
prayer_time (for prayer time calculations)
hijri (for Islamic calendar conversions)
geolocator (for location services)
Data Storage and Retention
All data collected by the App (location data used for calculations and app preferences) is stored locally on your device. We do not transmit or store this data on our servers or any other external storage.
You can clear the locally stored data by:
Clearing the App's data through your device settings.
Uninstalling the App.
We do not retain any user data beyond the time the App is in use on your device. Once you uninstall the App, all locally stored data will be removed.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the data stored locally on your device against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, as the data resides on your device, the security of that data is also dependent on the security measures you have in place on your device itself.
Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the App and on the App's Google Play Store listing with a revised "Effective Date." Your continued use of the App following the posting of such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
