The short version: Prayer App does not require an account and we do not operate a user-account or analytics database. Prayer times, the Tasbih counter, and the Fajr adhan notification are free to use with no sign-up. Your location, prayer logs, Tasbih counts, and settings stay on your device. If you subscribe to Premium, Google Play or the Apple App Store processes the purchase, and RevenueCat receives subscription information and an anonymous app user ID so the app can unlock and restore Premium. Your name and email are optional and are sent to RevenueCat only if you enter them yourself in Settings. Sentry receives limited crash diagnostics that are configured not to include your name, email, location, or advertising identifier. We show no ads, use no advertising or behavioral analytics trackers, and never sell personal data.
Retention and deletion in one line: We do not receive or retain data that stays only on your device. You can delete local data and request removal of optional RevenueCat contact details in the app at Settings → Account → “Delete account and data”. You can also request deletion by emailing technologiesrehman@gmail.com. Full details appear in Section 6, Data retention and Section 7, Data deletion.
1. Who we are
Prayer App (published on Google Play as prayer-app and on the Apple App Store as Salah: Prayer Times & Qibla) is developed and operated by TechnologiesRehman, based in Ontario, Canada (“we” or “us”). For any privacy question or request, contact technologiesrehman@gmail.com.
2. Data we collect and where it goes
Prayer times using the app’s default calculation method, the Tasbih counter, and the Fajr adhan notification are free and available with no account, no sign-up, and no personal data entry. The RevenueCat rows below apply only if you subscribe to Premium or voluntarily add optional contact details.
| Data | Purpose | Where it is stored or processed |
|---|---|---|
| Name and email (optional — only if you add them in Settings) | Identifying your RevenueCat customer record and assisting with support or deletion requests. They are never required to use the app or subscribe. | Stored securely on your device and sent to RevenueCat as customer attributes only when you enter them. |
| Subscription status, purchase history, store transaction information, and anonymous app user ID | Unlocking Premium, restoring purchases, subscription support, accounting, and fraud prevention. | Google Play or Apple processes the purchase. RevenueCat receives the subscription and entitlement information described in Section 4. |
| Location, whether obtained from GPS or a manually chosen city | Calculating prayer times and the Qibla direction. | Your device only. It is not transmitted to us, RevenueCat, Sentry, or another third party. |
| Settings, prayer logs, streaks, Tasbih counts, and saved city | Providing app functionality and remembering your preferences. | Your device only. |
| Motion and compass sensor readings | Providing the Qibla compass. | Processed in real time on your device and not stored or transmitted. |
| Crash and error diagnostics, such as stack trace, device model, operating system version, and app version | Finding and fixing technical problems. | Sentry, as described in Section 4. Reports are configured not to include your name, email, location, or advertising identifier. |
We do not collect contact lists, photos, microphone recordings, browsing data, or advertising identifiers. The app contains no advertising SDK and no third-party behavioral analytics or advertising-tracking SDK.
3. Payments
All payments are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We do not see or store your payment-card number or security code. The stores’ handling of payment and billing information is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and Apple’s Privacy Policy.
4. Our service providers
RevenueCat, Inc. manages subscription status and entitlements across platforms. RevenueCat receives subscription and purchase status, an anonymous app user ID, and any name and email you voluntarily enter in Settings. RevenueCat processes this information on our behalf. We do not use RevenueCat information for advertising and do not sell it. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) receives crash and error reports so we can identify and fix bugs. These reports contain technical information such as the stack trace, device model, operating system version, and app version. Our Sentry integration is configured not to send your name, email, location, or advertising identifier, and we remove user-identifying fields before events are sent. See the Sentry Privacy Policy.
5. Notifications
Prayer reminders and adhan notifications are scheduled locally on your device. We do not use a third-party push-notification service to send these reminders.
6. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Most information created by the app is never retained by us because it never leaves your device.
| Data | Who holds it | How long it is retained |
|---|---|---|
| Location, settings, prayer logs, streaks, Tasbih counts, saved city, compass, and motion readings | Your device only — we do not receive it. | We retain none of it. It remains on your device until you delete it in the app, clear the app’s storage, or uninstall the app. |
| Optional name and email | Your device and RevenueCat as customer attributes. | The on-device copy remains until you delete it. RevenueCat retains the attributes while they are associated with its customer record or until a deletion request is processed. Deleting in the app immediately removes the local copy and requests that RevenueCat clear those attributes. If remote clearing cannot be confirmed, the app tells you to retry or contact us. Verified email deletion requests are completed within 30 days. We keep no separate server copy. |
| Subscription status and anonymous app user ID | RevenueCat. | Retained while needed to provide, verify, support, and restore subscription entitlements, prevent fraud, or comply with legal obligations. If we can identify the RevenueCat customer record from a verified deletion request, we will use RevenueCat’s customer-deletion controls within 30 days, except for information that must be retained by law. Restoring a mobile-store purchase later may create a new minimal RevenueCat customer record from the store receipt. |
| Purchase and subscription transaction records | Google Play, Apple, and RevenueCat. | The store providers retain transaction information under their own policies. We retain or access transaction records only as needed for billing support, accounting, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. Where applicable law requires retention, records may be kept for up to seven years and cannot be deleted until that obligation ends. |
| Crash and error reports | Sentry. | Retained for up to 90 days and then deleted under the applicable Sentry retention setting. These reports are configured not to include your name, email, location, or advertising identifier. |
We do not maintain a server-side account database, advertising profile, or behavioral analytics profile for Prayer App users.
7. Data deletion
You can delete your data at any time. Prayer App does not require an account, and you may use either of the following deletion methods.
Option A — delete data inside the app
- Open Prayer App.
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Open the Account card.
- Tap “Delete account and data”.
- Confirm when prompted.
This immediately and permanently deletes the app data stored on your device, including settings, prayer logs, streaks, Tasbih counts, saved location, and the local profile. It also requests that RevenueCat clear any optional name and email you entered. If the RevenueCat request cannot be confirmed, the app reports a partial deletion and tells you to retry or contact us. Uninstalling the app also removes on-device app data, but does not by itself cancel a subscription or submit a deletion request to RevenueCat.
Option B — request deletion by email
- Email technologiesrehman@gmail.com.
- Use “Data deletion request” as the subject.
- If you entered an email in the app, send the request from that email address. Tell us whether you used Google Play or the Apple App Store. Do not send a password or full payment-card information.
We will acknowledge the request within seven days and complete an identifiable, verified deletion request within 30 days. We may ask for limited information needed to locate the RevenueCat customer record. If we cannot identify a record associated with you, we will explain that. A completed request deletes optional RevenueCat contact attributes and, where identifiable and not legally required to be retained, the associated RevenueCat customer record.
What deletion does not cover
- Deletion does not cancel your subscription. Cancel it separately in Google Play Subscriptions or the Apple App Store subscription settings to stop future billing.
- Store and legally required transaction records may be retained. Google Play, Apple, RevenueCat, or TechnologiesRehman may retain limited transaction information for the period described in Section 6 when required for accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal compliance.
- Crash reports cannot normally be matched to you. They are configured without your name, email, location, or advertising identifier and expire under the Sentry retention period described in Section 6.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of personal data we hold about you, or to withdraw consent. Because Prayer App has no required account and most data remains on your device, many requests can be completed using the deletion steps in Section 7. For any access, correction, deletion, or consent request, email technologiesrehman@gmail.com. We do not sell personal information.
9. Children
Prayer App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided optional personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
10. Security
The local profile is stored using the platform’s secure storage facilities, including Android Keystore or iOS Keychain where supported. Data sent to RevenueCat or Sentry is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, but we limit the data sent to service providers and use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the data involved.
11. Changes to this policy
If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide notice in the app or release notes. The version published at this URL is the current Privacy Policy.
