Privacy Policy for Qibla Now
Effective date: 2026-01-01
Website: https://qibla-now.com
Application: Qibla Now (Android)
Overview
Qibla Now is designed as a focused religious utility that respects user privacy. This application does not require accounts, does not collect personal profiles, and does not operate a backend service for core functionality.
This Privacy Policy explains what data the app may access, how it is used, and what external services may be involved.
1. Data Collection
Qibla Now does not collect or store personal data on its own servers.
The application operates primarily offline and performs calculations directly on the device.
The following types of data are not collected:
- Names
- Email addresses
- Location history
- Device identifiers
- Usage analytics
- Behavioral tracking data
No user account or registration is required to use the application.
2. Location Information
The application may request access to the device’s precise location in order to:
- Calculate prayer times
- Determine the direction of the Qibla
Location data is used only locally on the device for these calculations and is not transmitted to the developer or stored remotely.
Users may alternatively choose to manually set a location instead of granting location access.
3. Notifications
If enabled by the user, the application schedules local notifications on the device to alert for prayer times.
These notifications are generated and managed entirely on the device. No remote notification service is used by the application.
4. Internet Access
Most features of Qibla Now work without an internet connection.
Internet access may be used for optional features such as:
- Loading map tiles when viewing the map screen
- Displaying advertisements if ads are enabled in the application
These external services may process network requests according to their own privacy policies.
5. Advertising
Qibla Now may display non-personalized advertisements.
Ads are limited to banner formats and are configured to avoid behavioral profiling.
Advertising services may collect limited technical information required to display ads, such as:
- Device type
- Approximate location derived from IP address
- Advertising identifiers provided by the operating system
These services operate under their own privacy policies.
Users can reset or limit advertising identifiers in their device settings.
6. Data Storage
All user preferences and configuration settings are stored locally on the device.
This includes:
- Selected prayer calculation method
- Madhab preference
- Location settings
- Notification configuration
- Display preferences
This information is not transmitted to the developer.
7. Children’s Privacy
Qibla Now does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Because the application does not collect personal data or require accounts, it is suitable for general audiences.
8. Third-Party Services
The application may interact with third-party services such as:
- Map providers
- Advertising networks
These services may process network requests independently and are governed by their own privacy policies.
9. Security
Since Qibla Now does not operate a backend service and stores data locally on the device, the risk of remote data exposure is minimized.
Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their device.
10. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated in future versions of the application.
Updates will be published on the official website: https://qibla-now.com/privacy
