Islam Everywhere
Privacy Policy
Clear information about what the app processes, what remains on your device, and which Google services support advertising, reliability and subscriptions.
1. About this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the Android application Islam Everywhere (package com.islamofficialeverywhere.app), referred to as “the app,” “we,” or “us.” It explains how information is handled when you use the app.
The app is designed primarily to work locally. It does not require an account and does not upload your personal prayer history to a server operated by us.
2. Information kept on your device
The app may save the following information in local app storage:
- Your optional display name, date of birth and selected prayer-calculation start age.
- Your daily Salah status, Qaza records, totals, streaks and progress.
- Your selected madhab, language, theme, reminder, sound and other settings.
- Your premium-entitlement status and temporary rewarded-ad theme access.
- Your last successfully obtained coordinates and calculated prayer schedule, so prayer times and Qibla can continue to work offline.
We do not receive this locally stored information. Android backup is disabled for the app. You can erase it using Reset all data in Settings or by uninstalling the app.
3. Location, prayer times and Qibla
If you grant permission, the app accesses approximate or precise device location to calculate prayer times, Qibla direction and distance to Makkah. These calculations happen on your device. The most recent coordinates are cached only in local app storage for offline use; they are not uploaded to a server operated by us.
Location permission is optional. If declined, location-dependent features may be unavailable or may continue using a previously cached location.
Nearby Masjids
If you deliberately tap the option to find nearby masjids, the app opens a mapping app or Google Maps search and may include your coordinates in that request. The selected mapping provider then handles the request under its own privacy policy. The app does not send coordinates to a mapping provider unless you choose this action.
4. Information processed by Google services
The app uses the services below. They may communicate with Google even though your prayer records remain local. The exact information processed can vary by device, Android version, consent choices and service configuration.
| Service | Information it may process | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob and User Messaging Platform | Advertising or app-set identifiers, IP address, approximate region, device and app information, ad interactions, consent choices and diagnostics. | Request, display, limit, measure and protect banner, interstitial, app-open and rewarded ads, and manage applicable privacy choices. |
| Firebase Analytics | App interactions, sessions, device model, operating system, app version, identifiers and approximate region derived by Google. | Understand aggregate app usage and improve features and reliability. |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash reports, stack traces, diagnostic state, app version, device model, operating system and installation identifiers. | Identify, investigate and fix crashes and technical faults. |
| Firebase Remote Config | Firebase installation ID and app/device configuration needed to return appropriate settings. | Provide settings such as ad-format controls and regional Hijri-date adjustments without an app update. |
| Google Play Billing | Google account purchase context, selected subscription, price, transaction and purchase token/status information. Google handles payment-card details; the app does not receive them. | Offer Premium, confirm active entitlement, acknowledge purchases and restore access after reinstalling or changing devices. |
Advertising choices
Ad requests made by the app are configured as non-personalized. They are not selected from your past behavior, but Google may still use identifiers or local storage for frequency capping, fraud prevention and aggregated reporting. Where required, Google’s consent form is shown before advertising is initialized. If Google requires an ongoing privacy-choice entry point, the app displays Ad privacy choices in Settings.
Google processes information under its own documentation. See the Google Privacy Policy, Privacy and Security in Firebase, and Google Payments Privacy Notice.
5. Android permissions
| Permission or access | Why the app uses it |
|---|---|
| Approximate and precise location | Calculate local prayer times, Qibla direction and distance to Makkah. |
| Notifications | Show prayer-time and daily reminders that you enable. |
| Exact alarms | Deliver enabled prayer reminders at the intended time rather than after an unpredictable system delay. |
| Run at startup | Restore enabled prayer alarms after the device restarts or its time settings change. |
| Foreground service and media playback | Play an enabled adhan or reminder audio reliably, including while the app is not open. |
| Wake lock and vibration | Deliver an enabled reminder reliably and provide alert vibration. |
| Internet and network state | Connect to Firebase, AdMob, Google Play Billing and optional external map searches. |
| Advertising identifiers and Android ad services | Support ad delivery, measurement, frequency controls and fraud prevention. |
Permissions are requested only when relevant to a feature. You can change them in Android Settings, although disabling one may prevent the related feature from working.
7. Retention, security and international processing
Local information remains on your device until you reset it, clear app storage or uninstall the app. We do not operate cloud backup for prayer records. Support emails are kept only as long as reasonably necessary to address the request, maintain records and meet legal obligations.
Google retains service information according to its own policies and settings. Google and other service providers may process information in countries other than where you live, subject to their legal safeguards.
We use measures appropriate to a local-first app, including disabling Android backup for app data. No method of storage or electronic processing is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
8. Your choices and privacy rights
- Location: deny or revoke permission in Android Settings. Clear local app data to remove cached coordinates.
- Notifications and alarms: disable reminders in the app or change notification and exact-alarm access in Android Settings.
- Advertising: use Ad privacy choices in Settings when available, and reset or delete your Advertising ID through Android privacy settings.
- Local records: use Reset all data or uninstall the app.
- Subscriptions: manage or cancel through Google Play. Access normally continues until the end of the paid period.
- Support correspondence: contact us to request deletion of information you previously sent directly to us, subject to legal retention needs.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or withdrawal of consent. Because most app information is stored only on your device, the most direct way to exercise those rights for local records is through the controls above. You may contact us about information we actually possess.
9. Children
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child sent personal information through support email, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate. Parents and guardians should supervise children’s use of the app and device permissions.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app, service providers or legal requirements change. The revised page will show a new effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the app or store listing when appropriate.
