Privacy Policy
At Namaz Tracker, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with its terms, please discontinue use of the app.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide
Namaz Tracker is designed to work fully offline. We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number to use the core features of the app.
1.2 Automatically Collected Information
We may collect the following data automatically to improve app performance:
- Device information: Device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
- Usage analytics: Anonymous, aggregated data about how features are used (e.g., which screens are visited most often). This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
- Crash reports: If the app crashes, we may collect technical diagnostic data to help us fix the issue.
1.3 Location Data
Namaz Tracker may request access to your device's location to provide:
- Accurate prayer times based on your geographic coordinates.
- Qibla direction — the direction toward the Kaaba in Mecca.
Location data is used only on-device to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction. It is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties. You can deny location permissions and manually enter your city instead.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain core app functionality (prayer tracking, reminders, calendar, streaks).
- To calculate accurate prayer times and Qibla direction based on your location.
- To improve the app through anonymous usage analytics and crash diagnostics.
- To send local push notifications for prayer reminders (no data leaves your device for this).
- To respond to user support requests if you contact us.
3. Data Storage
All your prayer logs, streaks, settings, and preferences are stored locally on your device. We do not operate cloud servers that store your personal prayer data. If you uninstall the app, this locally stored data will be permanently deleted.
If a future version of the app introduces optional cloud backup, it will be clearly disclosed and will require your explicit opt-in consent.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymous, non-identifiable data in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We may use third-party services (e.g., analytics platforms, crash reporting tools) that process anonymized technical data on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to keep data confidential and use it only for the services they provide to us.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government authority.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user data may be transferred. You will be notified of any such change.
5. Third-Party Services
Namaz Tracker may integrate with the following third-party services:
- Google Play Services / Apple App Store: Subject to Google's and Apple's respective privacy policies for app distribution and updates.
- Analytics (e.g., Firebase Analytics): Used to collect anonymous usage statistics. Data is anonymized and aggregated; no personally identifiable information is included.
- Crash Reporting (e.g., Firebase Crashlytics): Collects technical crash logs to help us identify and fix bugs.
These services have their own privacy policies governing their data practices. We encourage you to review them separately.
6. Push Notifications
Namaz Tracker uses local notifications (scheduled entirely on your device) to remind you of prayer times. No notification data is sent to or processed by our servers. You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.
7. Children's Privacy
Namaz Tracker is suitable for all ages including children. The app does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). Since the app requires no account creation and stores all data locally, there is no risk of inadvertent data collection from minors.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has somehow provided personal information, please contact us at the address below and we will promptly address your concern.
8. Security
We take the security of your data seriously. While we implement appropriate technical safeguards, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Since your prayer data is stored locally on your device, its security also depends on your own device security practices (e.g., screen lock, device encryption).
9. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:
- Access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data. For locally stored data, you can achieve this by uninstalling the app.
- Opt-out: Disable analytics or crash reporting by adjusting your device settings or contacting us.
- Location permissions: Revoke location access at any time through your device's app settings.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address provided below.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you within the app. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
