Last updated: April 28, 2026
Eren Üzer built the Pure Athan app as an Ad-Supported app. This SERVICE is provided by Eren Üzer at no cost and is intended for use as is.
This Privacy Policy explains how Pure Athan accesses, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the app.
1. Information Collection and Use
Pure Athan does not require users to create an account and does not directly collect personal information such as name, email address, phone number, or payment information.
Some information may be processed on your device or by third-party services in order to provide app features such as prayer times, Qibla direction, nearby mosques, Quran content, notifications, and advertisements.
Location Data
Pure Athan may request access to your device’s approximate or precise location. Location data is used for:
Calculating daily prayer times based on your location
Finding the Qibla direction
Showing nearby mosques on the map
Opening route/direction services for nearby mosques
Your location data is not stored by Eren Üzer on external servers. Depending on the feature, your coordinates may be sent to third-party services such as prayer time APIs, OpenStreetMap-related services, or map/direction services solely to provide the requested functionality.
2. Third-Party Services
Pure Athan uses third-party services that may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies. These services may include:
Google Play Services
Google AdMob
Aladhan API
Quran.com API
OpenStreetMap
Overpass API

Google AdMob
Pure Athan displays advertisements using Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device information, advertising identifiers, app activity, and other data necessary to provide, measure, and improve advertisements. Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your device settings, consent status, and applicable laws.
You can learn more about how Google uses data here.
Prayer Times
Pure Athan may use your location coordinates to calculate prayer times. Coordinates may be sent to prayer time services such as the Aladhan API or the app’s prayer time service provider only for the purpose of retrieving accurate prayer time data.
Quran Content
Pure Athan may use the Quran.com API to fetch Quran chapters, verses, translations, and audio resources. These requests are used only to display Quran content inside the app.
Nearby Mosques and Maps
Pure Athan may use OpenStreetMap, Overpass API, Nominatim, and map services to show nearby mosques and directions. When using nearby mosque features, your approximate or precise coordinates may be used to search for mosques around you. This information is used only for the requested map and mosque search functionality.
3. App Permissions & Functionality
Notifications
Pure Athan may request notification permission to send:
Prayer time notifications
10-minute pre-prayer reminders
Daily spiritual content reminders
You can disable notifications from within the app settings or your device settings at any time.
Exact Alarms and Background Notifications
Pure Athan may use exact alarm, wake lock, and boot receiver permissions to help deliver prayer time reminders reliably, including after device restart where supported by the operating system.
Sharing Feature
Pure Athan may allow you to share daily spiritual content such as the verse of the day, hadith of the day, or surah of the day through your device’s sharing options. Sharing only happens when you explicitly choose to use the share feature. Pure Athan does not automatically share any content or personal information.

Note: Data processed by third-party services is handled according to the privacy policies of those respective services.
Security
I value your trust in using Pure Athan. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable. While reasonable measures are used to protect information, I cannot guarantee absolute security.
