رفيق الصلاة — سياسة الخصوصية

Introduction

Rafiq Al-Salah is a free, ad-free, sign-in-less Islamic prayer companion built on a privacy-first principle. We do not create user accounts, we do not collect your personal data, and we use no trackers or analytics. All your data (settings, tasbeeh counter, last-read position, cached content) stays stored locally on your device only.

Data We Access and Why

1) Location

We request access to your device location for a single purpose: to calculate accurate prayer times and the Qibla direction for your location. Your latitude/longitude is sent to our server only at request time to fetch timings from the Aladhan service and your city name from OpenStreetMap. We never persist or store your location on our servers. If you deny the permission, the app falls back to Makkah as the default location.

2) Notifications & Alarms

We use local notifications on your device to remind you of prayer times, the Adhan, and periodic dhikr. These reminders are scheduled and delivered locally on your device and do not go through any external server.

3) Compass Sensor

Your device magnetometer is used locally only to display the Qibla compass; no sensor data is sent anywhere.

Third-Party Services

The app relies on public services to fetch content only, without sending any user identity:

• Aladhan API — prayer time calculation.
• Quran.com API — Quran text, audio recitations, and Mushaf fonts.
• OpenStreetMap / Nominatim — converting coordinates to a city/country name.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages and does not collect any personal data from any user, including children under 13.

Your Rights & Data Deletion

Because all your data is stored locally on your device only, you can delete it at any time by clearing the app data or uninstalling the app. We hold no copy of your data to delete.
