Namaz One is committed to protecting your personal data. The app does not require an account, and we do not store your personal information on our servers. The data controller is Emre Yurt, contactable at namazoneapp@gmail.com.
Your location is used only to calculate accurate prayer times for where you are, to determine the Qibla direction, and to find mosques near you. We operate no servers of our own and keep no copy of your location.
To provide these features your coordinates are sent, over an encrypted connection, to the Aladhan API (aladhan.com) for prayer times and to the Overpass API (overpass-api.de, part of OpenStreetMap) for nearby mosques. Those requests carry no name, account or identifier, because the app has neither accounts nor logins. Where you have granted the precise location permission, the coordinates sent are precise rather than approximate.
You may decline the location permission and choose your city manually instead. Separately, Google AdMob receives your device's IP address, which can be used to estimate your general location; this happens whether or not you grant the location permission.
Notification permission is used only to show adhan alarms, prayer reminders and the verse of the day. It is not used for marketing.
The app shows advertisements through Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, and for analytics and fraud prevention, Google's Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares advertising and device identifiers, your IP address, records of how you interact with adverts and the app, and diagnostic information such as app launch time and crash rate. This data is encrypted in transit. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will be asked for your consent choices before personalised ads are shown, using Google's User Messaging Platform. You can change those choices at any time in the app under Settings → Ad privacy options. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
The app uses Firebase Crashlytics, a service provided by Google, to receive reports when the app crashes or stops responding, so that we can fix bugs. A report can include technical details such as the crash log, your device model and Android version, the app version, and a randomly generated installation identifier. It does not include your name, an account or your location. Reports are sent over an encrypted connection and are used only to diagnose and fix problems. Google processes this data on our behalf and retains crash reports for a limited period; see firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
The live streams of Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi and the Islamic radio stations are delivered by third-party streaming servers. When you play one, your device connects to those servers directly, so they receive your IP address as any website or streaming service would. We receive no information from these connections.
Prayer tracking, the tasbih counter, missed-prayer records, favourite verses, downloaded Quran text and recitation audio, and your preferences are stored only on your device. Deleting the app deletes this data with it. We have no ability to access, recover or export it.
The app does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
Prayer times are calculated from your location using established astronomical methods and may differ by a few minutes from the times announced by your local mosque or religious authority. Where they differ, follow your local authority. The Qibla compass relies on your device's magnetic sensor and can be disturbed by nearby metal or electronics; calibrate it before relying on it.
This app is a tool to support your worship, not a substitute for religious guidance. Quran text, translations and supplications come from third-party sources and are provided for convenience; for religious rulings, consult a qualified scholar. The app is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, and we accept no liability for reliance on the times, direction or content it displays, to the extent permitted by law.
Because the app stores your data only on your own device and we hold no copy, there is nothing for us to retrieve or erase on your behalf. Clearing the app's storage or uninstalling it removes everything. For questions about advertising data held by Google, see Google's privacy policy linked above.
If this policy changes, the revised version will be published at this address with an updated date above.
