1. Introduction
Muslim: Quran & Hadith ("we," "our," or "the app") is an Islamic companion app offering Quran, Hadith, Prayer Times, Qibla direction, Azkar, Duas, and the 99 Names of Allah. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes what information we and our service providers may collect, how we use it, and your choices.
By using the app, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
________________________________________________________________________________
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide
- Account information (optional): If you sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple, we receive from the provider: your name, email address, and (for Google) profile photo. This data is used only to identify your account within the app and is stored locally on your device. We do not operate our own account servers; sign-in is handled by Google or Apple.
- No account required: You can use the app without signing in. Sign-in is optional (e.g., to sync preferences in the future).
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Device and app usage: When you use the app, our third-party advertising and infrastructure partners may collect:
· Device type, operating system, and app version
· Advertising ID (e.g., Google Advertising ID)
· IP address and general location (country/region level) for ads and security
· Approximate or precise location ONLY if you grant location permission, used for Prayer Times and Qibla direction within the app
- Location data: The app requests location permission to:
· Calculate accurate prayer times for your area
· Show Qibla direction relative to your position
Location can be used on your device only for these features. Our ad partner (Google AdMob) may also receive general or precise location in accordance with your device and Google account settings when ads are shown.
2.3 Information we do not collect
We do not collect:
- Payment or financial data (the app is free; in-app purchases if any are handled by the store)
- Contacts, calendar, or other apps on your device
- Precise location for purposes other than prayer times and Qibla (and as noted for ads, per partner policies)
________________________________________________________________________________
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide the app: To run prayer times, Qibla, Quran, Hadith, Azkar, and other features.
- To personalize: Optional sign-in data is used only to identify you in the app (e.g., for future sync if we add it).
- To show ads: The app uses Google AdMob. Ad content and measurement may use device identifiers, approximate or precise location (if permitted), and usage data as described in Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and Google Play Services (https://policies.google.com/terms).
- To configure the app: We use Firebase Remote Config to deliver settings (e.g., feature flags, ad unit IDs). This may involve Google processing device-related data.
- To improve and secure: We may use data to fix issues, improve performance, and protect against abuse, in line with this policy and our partners' policies.
________________________________________________________________________________
4. Data Storage and Retention
- On your device: Preferences, reading progress, bookmarks, and (if you sign in) account info are stored locally. You can clear app data or uninstall to remove them.
- With third parties:
· Google (Sign-In, AdMob, Firebase): Subject to Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
· Apple (Sign in with Apple): Subject to Apple Privacy Policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/).
We do not retain your personal data on our own servers; account data from sign-in is kept only on your device unless we explicitly state otherwise in an update.
