Privacy Policy - ShabbatWise
Effective Date: Jan 23rd, 2026
Shabbat Wise (“the App”) is developed to get the accurate Shabbat times and determine sunset and related religious timings.
This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles user data and protects user privacy.
By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Your privacy is important to us. We do not store personal data on our own servers. The App may collect and transmit location data solely to provide core functionality.
The App may collect approximate or precise location data only if you explicitly grant permission.
Location data is used solely to:
Calculate accurate Shabbat times
Determine sunset and related religious timings
If you do not wish to share GPS-based location data, the App allows you to manually enter your location instead.
When location access is enabled:
Location data is sent to the Hebcal API, a third-party religious calendar service, to compute accurate Shabbat times.
Location data is used only for app functionality.
Location data is not used for analytics, advertising, personalization, or marketing.
The App does not store location history.
The App does not operate any backend servers.
No personal data is stored on developer-controlled servers.
All calculations are performed in real time.
Temporary data may be cached locally on your device for performance purposes only.
Data is not retained beyond what is necessary to provide functionality.
The App may share location data only with the Hebcal API for the purpose of calculating Shabbat times.
No data is sold, rented, or shared with advertisers, analytics providers, or marketing partners.
All data transfers occur over secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS).
The App does not support user accounts.
The App does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or usernames.
There is no login or authentication mechanism.
The App may send notifications related to:
Shabbat start/end times
User-configured reminders
Notifications are dependent on:
Location
User preferences
Because the App does not store personal user data on servers or maintain user accounts, there is no data that users need to request deletion for.
You may revoke location permissions at any time through your device settings.
Any locally cached data can be cleared by clearing the app’s storage.
Shabbat Wise is intended for users aged 18 and above.
The App does not knowingly collect personal data from children, and access by minors is restricted through Google Play settings.
You can:
Enable or disable location permissions at any time
Use manual location entry instead of GPS
Disable notifications through device settings
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time.
Any changes will be reflected in the App or on the Play Store listing.
