1. Introduction
Qayim ("we", "our", "the app") is an Islamic prayer companion app.
This policy explains what data we collect, why, and your rights over it.
2. Data We Collect
a) Location Data
We request access to your device location solely to calculate
accurate Islamic prayer times and Qibla direction for your area.
Location data is processed on-device and is not stored on our servers
or shared with third parties for location tracking purposes.
b) Device Information
We collect anonymous device information (OS version, device model,
crash reports) through Firebase Crashlytics to identify and fix bugs.
c) Usage Analytics
We collect anonymous usage data (screens visited, features used)
through Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used and
improve it. This data cannot identify you personally.
d) Advertising Data
We show ads through Start.io (banner ads) and Unity Ads (rewarded
video ads). These partners may collect:
- Device advertising identifier (GAID)
- IP address (used to determine approximate location for ad targeting)
- App usage information
- Device information
If you consent to personalized advertising, these partners use the
above data to show you relevant ads. If you decline, you will see
non-personalized ads instead.
3. How We Use Your Data
- Location: to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction
- Crash reports: to fix app stability issues
