Privacy Policy – Prayer Times: زیکرەکان و بانگ

Effective date: March 11, 2026

Last updated: March 11, 2026

We respect your privacy. This app is designed to work primarily without accounts and without selling personal data. Most app data is stored locally on your device.

1. What We Collect

• No account data: We do not require signup, login, name, phone number, or password.
• Local app data: Your settings, favorites, counters, selected reciter/translation, and downloaded audio are stored on your device.
• Permission-based data: If you enable location or notifications, the app uses those permissions only for app features.

2. Location Access

• If you allow location, the app uses it to determine city/region and calculate prayer times.
• Location is used only for this feature and can be disabled anytime in device settings.
• Depending on selected method/source, location query data may be sent to external prayer-time/geocoding services.

3. Notifications

• The app may request notification permission for prayer/adhan reminders.
• Notifications are controlled by your device permission settings.

4. Third-Party Content and Services

The app uses external providers for Quran text/translations, audio, and date/time services.

• Tanzil – tanzil.net
• QuranEnc – quranenc.com
• QUL (Tarteel resources) – qul.tarteel.ai
• EveryAyah – everyayah.com
• MP3Quran – mp3quran.net
• AlAdhan API (Hijri date conversion) – api.aladhan.com
• Prayer times: Kurdistan source + global API services (as used by the app)

When your device connects to these services, they may receive technical network information (such as IP address, user agent, request time, and requested resource) as part of normal internet communication.

5. Data Sharing and Selling

• We do not sell your personal data.
• We do not share your local preferences/favorites from your device to our own server.
• Online feature requests are sent directly to the relevant external service/provider needed for that feature.

6. Data Retention

• Local app data stays on your device until you delete it, clear app storage, or uninstall the app.
• Third-party providers retain data according to their own privacy policies and terms.

7. Security

We apply reasonable technical measures in app design, but no internet transmission or storage system is 100% secure.

8. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

9. International Data Processing

Because external services may operate in different countries, data requests may be processed outside your country.

10. Your Choices

• Disable location permission in device settings.
• Disable notifications in device settings.
• Clear app storage or uninstall the app to remove locally stored data.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Updated versions will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
