This Privacy Policy explains how [Abacistopia] ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the mobile application Sakeenah (package name: com.sakeenah.app) and related services (the "App").
Contact: If you have questions or requests about privacy, please contact us at [privacy/contact email]. Replace the bracketed developer name and email before publishing this policy.
Depending on how you use the App and the permissions you grant, we may collect or process the following categories of information:
Location information: approximate or precise device location, if you grant location permission, to calculate prayer times, Qibla-related features, and location-based Islamic content or reminders.
Account and profile information: if you choose to sign in with Google, Facebook, or another supported method, we may receive information such as your user ID, name, email address, profile photo, and authentication token information provided by the sign-in provider.
App content and preferences: settings, prayer reminder preferences, reading progress, saved content, widget settings, and other choices you make in the App.
App activity and diagnostics: app interactions, feature usage, crash logs, performance data, session information, device model, operating system version, language, country/region, and network state.
Advertising and device identifiers: Android Advertising ID, app instance identifiers, install referrer data, and other identifiers used for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, attribution, and service improvement.
Notifications and alarms: notification preferences and schedule information used to provide prayer reminders and related alerts.
Audio and download data: information needed to play, cache, or manage audio and other downloadable App content.
We use information for the following purposes:
to provide core App features, including prayer times, reminders, Quran reading, audio playback, widgets, and personalized settings;
to allow optional account sign-in, restore or sync preferences, and provide user-requested services;
to send notifications and reminders that you enable;
to show ads, measure ad performance, limit fraud and abuse, and support free access to the App;
to analyze usage, fix crashes, improve performance, and develop new features;
to protect the App, users, and our services from misuse, security incidents, and policy violations;
to comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.
The App may request Android permissions only when needed for App functionality:
Location: used for prayer time and related location-based features.
Notifications: used to send prayer reminders and other alerts you choose to receive.
Internet and network state: used to connect to online services, analytics, ads, sign-in, and content services.
Boot completed, wake lock, exact alarm, and foreground service: used to keep reminders, audio playback, and scheduled features working reliably.
Advertising ID and ad services permissions: used by advertising and measurement services, where available and permitted by your device settings.
You can manage many permissions in your device settings. Some features may not work properly if permissions are disabled.
The App may use third-party services that collect or process information under their own privacy policies. These services may include:
Google Firebase, including Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Firestore, Installations, and related services, for analytics, crash reporting, cloud features, and service operation.
Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads for advertising, ad measurement, fraud prevention, and related ad services.
Google Sign-In, if you choose to sign in using your Google account.
Facebook Login / Meta services, if you choose to sign in using your Facebook account.
Google Play services for platform functionality, app measurement, install attribution, and service reliability.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
with service providers and SDK providers that help us operate, analyze, secure, advertise, and improve the App;
with sign-in providers, when you choose to use Google, Facebook, or another account connection;
with advertising partners for ad delivery, measurement, attribution, fraud prevention, and compliance, subject to applicable laws and platform settings;
when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security;
as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, or transfer of business assets, if applicable.
The App may show ads. Advertising partners may use device identifiers, ad interaction data, approximate location, and other signals to provide, measure, and improve ads, subject to your consent where required and your device settings. You can reset or delete your Android Advertising ID, limit ad personalization, or manage related settings through your device and Google settings.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information, including encryption in transit where supported by our service providers, access controls, monitoring, and limiting access to information to people and providers who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the App, maintaining security, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and improving our services. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service provider involved.
If you have an account or saved cloud data, you may request access, correction, deletion, or account/data deletion by contacting us at [privacy/contact email]. If the App provides an in-app deletion option, you may also use that option. Some information may be retained where required by law, for security, fraud prevention, or legitimate business records.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of certain personal information. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at [privacy/contact email]. We may need to verify your request before responding.
You can also manage App permissions, notifications, location access, and advertising preferences from your device settings.
The App is not intended for children under 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction, unless permitted by applicable law and platform requirements. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your country of residence. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards and service provider commitments to protect transferred information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date above. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice in the App or by other appropriate means.
