Adhan: Prayer Times - Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 20, 2026
Adhan is an application that helps Muslims track prayer times, find the Qibla direction, and read daily Hadith. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app.
1. Information We Collect
Our app may collect the following information:
- Location Data: We use your GPS location to calculate prayer times and determine the Qibla direction. Your location data is not stored on our servers; it is processed only on your device for real-time calculation.
- App Preferences: Your selected calculation method, language, theme, and notification settings are stored locally on your device.
- Favorite Cities: Cities you save are stored locally on your device.
2. Location Data
The app requires access to your location in order to accurately calculate prayer times. Location data is used solely for real-time prayer time and Qibla calculation — it is never transmitted to or stored on our servers. You can revoke location permission at any time through your device settings; in that case, you can manually select your city.
3. Notifications
If you enable prayer time notifications, the app sends local notifications directly on your device. These notifications are not routed through our servers. You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.
4. Third-Party Services
Our app may use the following third-party services:
- Adhan.js: An open-source library used to calculate prayer times. No data transfer occurs.
- Google Analytics (Firebase): Anonymous usage statistics may be collected to help us improve app performance. No personally identifiable information is shared.
5. Use of Information
We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:
- To calculate prayer times
- To determine the Qibla direction
- To display the daily Hadith
- To send notifications
- To save your app preferences
We do not share, sell, or rent your data to third parties.
6. Data Deletion
To delete your app data, you can permanently remove all local data by uninstalling the app or resetting your data through the in-app settings.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your region, you may have the following rights:
- To access your personal data
- To request correction of your data
- To request deletion of your data
- To object to certain types of processing
8. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be indicated by updating the revision date in the app.

Note on Rights: Where applicable (e.g., under the GDPR in the European Union), the rights described above include the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, and to object to certain types of processing.
