Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Amal ("we", "us", "our", or "the App"), developed by Komil Vazebo, handles information when you use our mobile application. Amal is an Islamic lifestyle app that provides prayer times, Qibla direction, Tasbih counter, Quran reading, and Duas collection.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy applies to all users of the Amal application available on Google Play Store (package name: uz.amal.app).

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Processed Locally (On Your Device Only)

The following data is created and stored exclusively on your device. We never access, collect, or transmit this data to any server:

• Prayer tracking history — records of your completed prayers
• Tasbih (dhikr) session history — counter data and session statistics
• App preferences — theme, language, font size, notification settings
• Saved Quran bookmarks — your saved ayahs and reading progress
• Saved Duas — your favorited duas

2.2 Location Data

Amal requests access to your device's location for the following purposes:

• Prayer time calculation — to determine accurate prayer times for your geographic position
• Qibla direction — to point you toward the Kaaba in Makkah

2.3 Crash and Diagnostic Data (via Firebase Crashlytics)

To improve app stability, we use Google Firebase Crashlytics, a third-party service provided by Google LLC. When the app crashes or encounters an error, Crashlytics may automatically collect:

• Crash logs and stack traces
• Device model and operating system version
• App version
• Crash timestamp

This data is anonymized — it does not include your name, email, location, or any personal content. It is used solely to identify and fix bugs. Firebase Crashlytics is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

2.4 Network Requests

Amal makes limited network requests for the following optional features:

• Quran audio recitations — streamed from Quran.com API
• Quran translations — fetched from Quran.com API and cached locally

These requests do not include any personal or identifying information. Only the surah/ayah numbers are sent to retrieve content.

3. Information We Do NOT Collect

For absolute clarity, Amal does NOT collect, store, or process:

• ❌ Names, emails, phone numbers, or any personal identifiers
• ❌ User accounts or passwords (no registration required)
• ❌ Contacts, call logs, SMS, or photos
• ❌ Browsing history or app usage tracking
• ❌ Advertising identifiers (we do not use Google Advertising ID)
• ❌ Financial or payment information
• ❌ Biometric data

4. How We Use Information

5. Third-Party Services

Amal integrates the following third-party services. Each service has its own privacy policy governing data handling:

5.1 Firebase Crashlytics (Google LLC)

• Purpose: Crash reporting and app stability monitoring
• Data collected: Anonymized crash logs, device info, app version
• Privacy Policy: Google Privacy Policy
• Data Processing Terms: Firebase Data Processing Terms

5.2 Quran.com API

• Purpose: Quran audio recitations and translations
• Data sent: Only surah and ayah numbers (no personal data)
• Privacy Policy: Quran.com Privacy Policy

We do not use any advertising SDKs, analytics tracking SDKs, or social media SDKs.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

6.1 Local Data

All locally stored data (prayer history, tasbih sessions, settings, bookmarks) remains on your device for as long as you use the app. You can delete this data at any time by:

• Clearing app data — Go to Android Settings → Apps → Amal → Storage → Clear Data
• Uninstalling the app — All local data is permanently deleted when you uninstall Amal

6.2 Crash Data

Crash reports sent to Firebase Crashlytics are retained according to Google Firebase's data retention policies (typically 90 days). We do not have the ability to associate crash reports with individual users.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

• Local storage: All personal data is stored in the app's private storage area on your device, inaccessible to other apps
• Network encryption: All network communications (Quran API, Firebase) use HTTPS/TLS encryption
• No server-side storage: We do not operate any servers that store user data
• Minimal data collection: We follow the principle of data minimization — we only process what is strictly necessary

8. Children's Privacy

Amal is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since our app does not require registration and does not collect personal data, children can safely use the app's features (prayer times, Quran reading, etc.) without privacy concerns.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us at komilvazebo@gmail.com.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• Right to Access — You can view all your data directly within the app (prayer history, tasbih history, settings)
• Right to Deletion — You can delete all your data by clearing app data or uninstalling the app
• Right to Opt-Out — You can deny location permission and manually enter your coordinates instead
• Right to Information — This privacy policy provides full transparency about our data practices

Since we do not collect personal data on servers, there is no user account to delete. All data is under your direct control on your device.

Amal requests the following Android permissions. Each permission is used only for its stated purpose:
