Privacy Policy for NamazClock

Effective Date: August 16, 2024

Last Updated: August 30, 2024

1. Introduction

NamazClock is a mobile application developed by DeenTech to provide users with accurate Islamic prayer times based on their geographic location. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

2. Information We Collect

Location Data: NamazClock collects precise geographic location data from your device to provide accurate prayer times. If you select auto location mode, the app will automatically access your current location each time you use it and send this location data to the Muslim Salat API to fetch prayer times based on your current location. If you select manual location mode, the app will use the city name you provide and send it to the API to retrieve prayer times for that location. In both cases, the location data is used only temporarily and is not stored on our servers.

Note: We request the following permissions if you select auto location mode:

City Name: If you select manual location mode, we use the city name provided by you to fetch prayer times from the Muslim Salat API. The city name is used only for this purpose and is not stored or reused for any other purpose.

Device Information: We collect information about your device, such as model, operating system, and unique device identifiers, to optimize the app's performance and enhance the user experience.

Usage Data: We monitor how you interact with the app, including the features you use and the duration of use. This data helps us improve the app's functionality and user experience.

Advertising Data: The app may collect data related to the ads displayed, such as ad impressions and interactions, to optimize ad delivery and performance. This includes the use of the Facebook Audience Network SDK to serve targeted ads. For more details, please refer to the Facebook Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

Prayer Time Calculation: Your location data is used to calculate and display accurate prayer times each time you use the app. We send this location data to the Muslim Salat API to fetch prayer times but do not store your location data. If you use manual location mode, we use the city name you provide for fetching prayer times.

App Improvement: Device and usage data are analyzed to improve the app's performance and user experience, ensuring that it functions optimally across different devices and usage scenarios.

Advertising: Advertising data is used to display relevant ads within the app, which helps us keep the app free for users. The data is also used to optimize the effectiveness of the ads shown.

7. Data Retention

We do not retain or store your location data after it has been used to fetch prayer times. We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

8. Security of Your Information

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
