Privacy Policy

Your Privacy Matters

At SalahScreen, we understand the importance of privacy in Islam. This Privacy Policy explains our minimal data practices. SalahScreen operates primarily on your device - we do not create user accounts or collect personal information. We only collect anonymous analytics to improve the app.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information:

• Anonymous usage analytics (app crashes, feature usage)
• Subscription status (managed entirely by Apple)

Information We Do NOT Collect:

• No personal information (names, emails, etc.)
• No user accounts or profiles
• No prayer time preferences sent to servers

All Data Stays Local:

• Your location is used only on-device for prayer time calculation
• Your settings and preferences stay on your device
• Your blocked apps list stays on your device
• Your prayer tracking data stays on your device

Anonymous Location Data:

• We may collect anonymized location data (country/region level only) to understand user distribution and improve app features
• This data cannot identify individual users or their specific locations

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the minimal information we collect to:

• Provide and maintain SalahScreen
• Fix app crashes and technical issues
• Understand which features are most valuable to users
• Optimize the premium subscription experience and paywall
• Plan future Islamic-focused features
• Improve app performance and stability

Anonymous analytics help us make data-driven decisions about:

• Which features users find most helpful
• How the premium paywall performs
• Subscription conversion rates
• App stability and crash rates
• Performance improvements needed

Anonymous data is never linked to individuals and cannot identify you personally.

All personal functionality (prayer tracking, app blocking, settings) happens locally on your device without any data being sent to us.

3. Data Storage and Security

We take your data security seriously:

• All personal data stays on your device using iOS secure storage
• Analytics data is completely anonymized before any transmission
• No personal identifiers are ever collected or transmitted
• We use industry-standard encryption for any data in transit
• Deleting the app instantly removes all associated data

While we implement strong security measures, remember that no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. However, since most of your data never leaves your device, your privacy is inherently protected.

4. Data Sharing

Since we don't collect personal information, there's nothing to share. We only share:

• Anonymous crash reports with our analytics provider
• Anonymous usage statistics to improve the app

We never have access to your prayer times, blocked apps, location, or any other personal data.

5. Third-Party Services

Our app uses minimal third-party services:

• Apple's App Store for payments (handled entirely by Apple)
• Anonymous crash reporting service

Prayer time calculations and Islamic content are bundled with the app - no external API calls with your data.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Since we collect minimal anonymous data, your rights are straightforward:

• Access: Request information about what anonymous data we have
• Deletion: Delete the app to remove all your data instantly
• Control: Disable analytics in device settings anytime
• Transparency: All data processing is clearly explained here
• No Marketing: We never use your data for advertising

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@salahscreen.app

7. Children's Privacy

SalahScreen is not intended for children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from anyone, children's privacy is inherently protected.

8. Data Retention

• Your personal data exists only on your device
• Personal data is retained as long as the app is installed
• Delete the app to remove all personal data instantly
• Anonymous analytics data may be retained by our analytics provider for up to 90 days

9. International Data Transfers

If you use SalahScreen outside of our primary operating region, your data may be transferred to and processed in other countries. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app. Your continued use of the app after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

Our Islamic Commitment

In accordance with Islamic principles of privacy (حرمة الخصوصية), we ensure:

• Your personal data never leaves your device
• We cannot see your prayer times, blocked apps, or any personal information
• Complete privacy for your Islamic practice - your worship data stays private
• Anonymous analytics only - no personal surveillance or tracking

We only collect anonymous, non-identifying data to improve the app for the Muslim community, never for individual surveillance.

May Allah protect your privacy and grant you peace of mind in using our app.
