Privacy Policy for Quran App

 Here is a comprehensive Privacy Policy tailored for your Islamic app. It specifically addresses Google Play Store requirements by explaining exactly why you need each sensitive permission (especially location and phone state).

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 21, 2026

Your Privacy Matters to Us. This Privacy Policy explains how our Quran & Islamic Features Application ("the App") collects, uses, and shares your information, and the choices you have regarding your data.

By installing and using this App, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

1. Information We Collect and How We Use It

To provide features like accurate prayer times, Qibla direction, and a seamless Quran audio player, the App requires certain permissions on your Android device. Below is a detailed breakdown of what we collect and why:

Location Data (Prayer Times & Qibla)

• Permissions Used: ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

• Why we need it: We use your device's location to calculate mathematically accurate prayer times (Salat) and determine the precise direction of the Kaaba (Qibla) relative to your position.

• Data Handling: This location calculation is processed locally on your device. We do not store or track your location history on our servers.

Phone State (Quran Audio Player)

• Permission Used: READ_PHONE_STATE

• Why we need it: This permission is strictly used by our internal Quran MP3 audio player. It allows the App to detect incoming phone calls so that the Quran audio can automatically pause, preventing the audio from playing over your active call.

• Data Handling: We do not access, collect, read, or transfer any personal identifiers, phone numbers, or call logs.

Internet & Network Status (Cloud Features)

• Permissions Used: INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

• Why we need it: These permissions allow the App to download Quran audio files (recitations), fetch dynamic Islamic content, update daily Duas, and verify your network connection status to optimize data usage.

Wake Lock (Athan Notifications & Audio)

• Permission Used: WAKE_LOCK

• Why we need it: This prevents your device's processor from going to sleep during critical tasks, ensuring that Athan alarms play on time and Quran audio continues playing smoothly when your screen turns off.

2. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party service providers to monetize, analyze, or support the App. These third parties may use cookies, device identifiers, or tracking technologies:

• Google Play Services : Used for secure transaction processing.

• Ad Networks (e.g., Google AdMob): If the App displays ads, these networks may use anonymous device identifiers to serve relevant ads. You can manage personalized ad settings within your Android device settings.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.

3. Data Retention and Security

• No Accounts Required: The App operates without forcing you to create an account or provide personal identifiers like names or email addresses.

• Security: We employ industry-standard security measures to protect any local cached data on your device.

4. Children’s Privacy

Our App is safe for all age groups. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can promptly remove it.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted directly inside the App or on our store listing page with an updated "Effective Date."
