## 1. Information Collection and Use
Our App is designed to protect user privacy. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal identification information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, or account details.
### A. Location Data
To provide accurate prayer time calculations, sunrise/sunset calculations, and Qibla direction, the App requires access to your device's location (latitude, longitude, and elevation).
***How Location is Used:**
***Local Processing:**Your device's coordinates are processed **strictly locally** on your device by our embedded mathematical calculation engine.
***Geocoding (Nominatim API):**If you choose to search for a city name manually inside the settings menu, a coordinate request is sent to the public OpenStreetMap Nominatim API to fetch the coordinates of that city.
***No Tracking:**We do not track your location in the background or store your location history on external servers.
***Control:**You can grant, deny, or revoke location permissions at any time via your device's system settings. You can also choose to enter your coordinates manually instead of using GPS.
### B. Device Sensors
***Compass/Orientation Sensor:**The Qibla Finder tab utilizes your device's physical magnetometer and orientation sensors to rotate the virtual compass card in real-time. This sensor data is processed entirely locally on the device's hardware and is never stored or transmitted.
### C. Offline Server & Local Storage
***Offline Operation:**The App runs a secure, local-only web server daemon (`127.0.0.1:8080`) entirely within your device's memory to perform calculation formulas and serve the dashboard layout offline. No external internet connection is required for core calculations.
***Local Storage:**Your selected settings (such as calculation method, juristic school, language preference, and coordinates) are saved in your device's local web storage (LocalStorage) or internal application preferences. This data remains on your device.

## 2. Third-Party Services
We do not sell, trade, or share your data. The App only interacts with external services in the following user-triggered scenarios:
1.**OpenStreetMap Nominatim API:**Used strictly for city geocoding queries when you manually type a location name in the settings menu. OpenStreetMap’s privacy policy applies to these requests.
2.**Al-Awail Synchronization Service:**If you manually configure the App's**Calculation Source**to use the online "Al-Awail" sync, the App sends a request to retrieve and parse official daily prayer times. No personal data is transmitted during this sync.
Our App does**not**contain:
*Third-party advertisements.
*Analytics trackers, telemetry SDKs, or user behavior tracking packages (such as Google Analytics or Firebase).

## 3. Data Security
We implement industry-standard local security measures to protect the integrity of the application. Since we do not transmit or store your personal data on external servers, the security of your configuration is maintained by your device’s operating system security.
---
## 4. Children’s Privacy
Our App does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

## 5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
