Privacy Policy
Last updated: 27-01-2026
This Privacy Policy describes how this application “SiratGuide” collects, uses, and protects user information. By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
The App is designed to respect user privacy and follows the principles of data minimization, purpose limitation, and local processing whenever possible.
Consent
By using the App, you hereby consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. You may withdraw consent at any time by discontinuing use of the App or revoking permissions through your device settings.
Information We Collect
The App does not collect personally identifiable information such as name, email address, phone number, or precise identifiers unless explicitly provided by the user (for example, through optional in-app purchases handled by the platform).
The App may access the following categories of data only for functional purposes:
Location Information
Approximate or precise location may be accessed to calculate prayer times based on geographic position. Location data is processed locally on the device and is not stored, logged, or transmitted to any server.
Sensor Data
The proximity sensor may be used within the prayer counter feature to help detect prayer movements. Sensor data is processed in real time and is not stored or shared.
App Usage Data
The App may internally process basic usage signals required for functionality (such as alarm scheduling or counter state). This data remains on the device and is not used for analytics, tracking, or advertising.
How We Use Your Information
The information accessed by the App is used strictly to provide its core religious and utility features, including:
-
Calculating accurate prayer times based on location
-
Scheduling and delivering prayer time notifications and alarms
-
Restoring prayer alarms after device restart
-
Playing user-initiated Qur’an recitations, supplications (duʿāʾ), and video content
-
Tracking prayer movements within the prayer counter feature
-
Processing optional in-app purchases
The App does not use data for profiling, behavioral tracking, or advertising purposes.
Permissions and Their Purpose
The App requests the following permissions only when required for specific features:
Location (Approximate / Precise)
Used exclusively to calculate prayer times based on geographic position. Location data is not stored or shared.
Notifications
Used to deliver prayer time reminders so users are alerted even when the App is not actively open.
Exact Alarms
Used to trigger prayer time notifications at precise moments, including time-sensitive prayers such as Fajr.
Foreground Services (Audio & Video)
Used only for user-initiated playback of Qur’an recitations, supplications (duʿāʾ), and video content to ensure uninterrupted playback.
Foreground services are not used for Adhan playback.
Adhan Playback
The Adhan is delivered through system notifications and alarm mechanisms, not through foreground media services.
Boot Completed

Wake Lock
Used briefly to ensure accurate calculation of the next day’s prayer times, including overnight calculations. Wake locks are released immediately after use.
Proximity Sensor
Used exclusively within the prayer counter feature to detect prayer movements. No sensor data is stored or transmitted.
In-App Billing
Used only to process optional in-app purchases. Payment processing is handled entirely by the platform provider. The App does not store or access payment information.
Advertising Partners
The App displays advertisements through Google AdMob and custom advertisements from our supporters.
Supporter advertisements are static and do not involve tracking or data collection.
Third-Party Services
The App may rely on platform services (such as Google Play Billing or system notification services) to provide core functionality. These services operate under their own privacy policies.
The App does not integrate third-party analytics, tracking, or marketing SDKs that collect personal data.
Data Sharing
The App does not sell, trade, or rent user data to third parties.
No personal data is shared with external entities.
Data Retention
The App does not retain sensitive personal data. All prayer time calculations, alarms, counters, and sensor processing are performed locally on the device.
Any temporary data required for functionality is automatically discarded when no longer needed.
Children’s Information
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal data through the App, please contact us so appropriate action can be taken.
User Rights and Control
Users may:
-
Grant or revoke permissions at any time through device settings
