Information the app uses on your device
Location. If you allow it, the app uses your phone's location to work out prayer times for where you are, to pick your nearest city, and to point the Qibla compass from true north. Your location is used and saved only on your device. It is never sent to us or to anyone else. You can instead choose a city by hand, and you can turn location off at any time in your phone's Settings.
Compass. The Qibla screen reads your phone's compass heading while it is open. This reading is not saved or sent anywhere.
Notifications. If you turn on azan alerts, the app schedules notifications on your phone for each prayer time. These are created on your device; no notification server is involved and no information is sent anywhere.
Your settings. Choices such as your city, translation, font size, chosen azan, reading position and alert settings are saved only on your device. Home-screen widgets read the same information from your device.
Internet use
When you play a Quran recitation, the app downloads the audio file from GitHub Pages, where the recitation is hosted. As with any website, GitHub's servers may briefly record technical information such as your IP address under GitHub's privacy statement. The app sends no personal information with these requests. Everything else in the app works offline.
What we do not do
We do not sell, rent or share data, use advertising or analytics services, track you across other apps or websites, or ask you to create an account.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
