Welcome to Qibla Direction & Prayer Times App (“App,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information.
This Privacy Policy explains how our application accesses, uses, stores, and shares information when you use features such as Qibla direction, daily prayer times, prayer reminders, and related Islamic tools.
By using the App, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.
Depending on the features you use, the App may process the following information:
The App may access your device's location to determine your approximate or precise geographical position, calculate the direction of the Qibla, and provide prayer times relevant to your location.
Location access may be provided through GPS, network-based location services, or a location you enter manually, depending on the implementation.
You can manage location permissions through your device settings. If you deny location access, some features may require you to select your location manually.
The Qibla compass may use your device's compass or magnetometer and other relevant sensors to determine the direction you are facing.
Sensor readings may be processed on your device to display the Qibla direction. Compass accuracy may be affected by nearby magnetic objects, device hardware, or environmental interference.
The App may process your selected location, preferred calculation method, time zone, prayer notification settings, and other preferences to display prayer times accurately.
Basic technical information, such as app version, device compatibility information, connectivity status, crash reports, or diagnostic information, may be processed if required by the App or its integrated third-party services.
The exact information processed depends on the services and SDKs included in the application.
The App may request the following permissions if they are required by its implemented features.
Permissions:
android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
Purpose: To determine your geographical location for location-based prayer times, Qibla direction, and related features.
Approximate location may be sufficient for some features, while precise location may improve calculations. Location access should be requested only when needed for the feature you use.
Permission: android.permission.INTERNET
Purpose: To access online services, retrieve relevant data, display optional online content, or support other internet-dependent features.
Permission: android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
Purpose: To check whether an internet connection is available so the App can manage online functionality appropriately.
Permission: android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS
Purpose: To display prayer reminders, prayer time alerts, and other notifications when these features are enabled and supported.
You can manage notification permissions and preferences through your device settings.
Permission: android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
Purpose: If implemented, this permission may allow the App to restore scheduled prayer reminders or re-register relevant alarms after the device restarts.
Permission: android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM
Purpose: If required and permitted by Android, this permission may allow the App to schedule prayer reminders at specific times.
The App will use this functionality only for implemented features and in accordance with applicable Android restrictions.
Permission: android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE
Purpose: To support eligible user-visible foreground services, if required by an implemented feature.
Permission: android.permission.WAKE_LOCK
Purpose: If used, this permission may allow the App to keep the processor awake temporarily to complete specific tasks, such as an active background operation or reminder-related task.
Permissions not required by the actual application should not be included in this section or requested from users.
Information processed by the App may be used to:
Calculate and display Qibla direction.
Determine daily prayer times based on your location and selected calculation settings.
Schedule prayer reminders and notifications.
Save your preferred settings and calculation methods.
Maintain app functionality and troubleshoot technical problems.
Improve reliability, compatibility, and performance where applicable.
We aim to use information only for purposes relevant to the App's functionality and as described in this policy.
Location information may be processed locally on your device or transmitted to a third-party service if required by an implemented feature.
We do not claim that location information is always stored locally or never shared unless this is verified against the actual application code and integrated SDKs.
If the App stores your selected city, coordinates, or prayer preferences, the information may remain on your device until you delete it or clear the relevant app data, depending on the implementation.
The App may integrate third-party services for features such as analytics, crash reporting, advertisements, maps, or online data retrieval.
These services may process certain technical or usage information according to their own privacy policies.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of the third-party providers integrated into the App.
Any sharing of location information or other personal data with third parties should be accurately disclosed according to the actual implementation.
We do not sell personal information as a business practice.
Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to deliver an enabled feature, or when disclosure is required by applicable law or necessary to protect legal rights and security.
The App's actual data-sharing practices depend on the third-party services and SDKs integrated into it.
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through the App against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
Information is retained only as needed for the purposes for which it is processed, subject to applicable legal requirements and the practices of third-party service providers.
No method of electronic storage or data transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
The App may be used for Islamic prayer and Qibla information by people of different ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws.
If you believe that personal information has been collected inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the matter.
You can:
Enable or disable location access through your device settings.
Enable or disable prayer notifications.
Change your selected location or prayer calculation preferences, if supported.
Clear app data or uninstall the App to remove locally stored information, subject to your device's behavior and any information retained by third-party services.
Disabling a permission may limit the features that depend on it.
We may update this Privacy Policy when our application, features, third-party services, or legal requirements change.
Any revised policy will be published with an updated effective date.
