This policy covers Azaan on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch (App Store) and on Android (Google Play).
Azaan collects nothing. There is no account, no sign-in, no advertising and no analytics. We never see your name, your email address, your location or anything about you. Everything the app knows stays on your device.
Prayer times and the Qibla direction depend on where you are. If you allow it, the app reads your approximate location from your phone and uses it on the phone to calculate the times. To show a place name, the phone asks its own built-in geocoder (Apple's on iPhone, Google's on Android) for the name of the place; that request is made by the operating system under Apple's or Google's own privacy terms, and Azaan does not keep or send anything. You can instead choose a city by name, in which case the app never reads your location at all. The chosen place is saved on your device only.
Your place, your settings, your prayer ticks, your tasbih count and any mosque timetable file you load are stored on your device using the phone's standard app storage. We cannot read them, they are not uploaded anywhere, and deleting the app deletes them. Widgets and the Apple Watch app read the same data from the same device.
Prayer alerts and reminders are scheduled on your device. No notification server is involved.
If you share a timetable, a calendar PDF or an image, it goes only where you send it, through the sharing tools of your phone. The app does not see where it went.
"Mosques near me" and the Qibla map hand over to Apple Maps or Google Maps. From that moment you are in their app, under their privacy policy.
Azaan is suitable for everyone and collects no data from anyone, including children.
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new date. It cannot change the basic promise: no adverts, no account, no tracking.
