Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 07, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of Your information when You use the Manhaj App (the "Application") and tells You about Your privacy rights and how the law protects You.

1. Information Collection and Use

While using Our Application, we may collect certain information to provide and improve the service.

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

We do not require users to create an account or provide traditional personal information (like full name or email) to use most features of the app. However, in specific sections:

• Sadaqah Jariyah Section: Users can voluntarily provide the names of deceased individuals and their relationships to be shared within the app for prayer purposes.
• Feedback: If you send us feedback, the information you provide (message content) is collected via Google Forms.

Location Data

To provide accurate Prayer Times, Qibla direction, and Mosque locations, we request permission to access your device's location.

• We collect Approximate location and Precise location.
• This data is used locally to calculate timings and is not stored on our servers unless specifically required for a feature you interact with.

Device Information

• Random Device ID: We generate a unique, random identifier for your device to manage the entries you create in the "Sadaqah Jariyah" section, allowing you to edit or delete your own entries.
• Usage Data: We may collect information that your mobile device sends, such as device model, OS version, and unique device identifiers for technical support and app performance monitoring.

2. Third-Party Services

The Application uses third-party services from Google Firebase that may collect information used to identify you and to improve the application performance:

• Firebase Analytics: Used to understand how users interact with the app (e.g., screens visited, most used features) to enhance the user experience.
• Firebase Crashlytics: Used to collect crash reports and performance data to help us fix bugs and improve stability. This includes information about your device and its state at the time of a crash.
• Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM): Used to send personalized notifications (Azkar, Prayer reminders).
• Cloud Firestore: Used to store and sync "Sadaqah Jariyah" entries and other app content globally.
• Google Forms: Used for receiving user feedback and suggestions.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for marketing purposes. Data is only exchanged with Google Firebase (as our cloud service provider) to enable app features, analyze performance, and send notifications. Google maintains high security standards to protect this data.

4. App Permissions

The Application may request access to certain permissions on your device to function correctly:

• Location: Required to calculate accurate Prayer Times, determine Qibla direction, and show nearby Mosques.
• Notifications: Used to send prayer alerts, Azkar, and important updates.
• Exact Alarms: To ensure prayer reminders trigger accurately even during battery-saving modes.
• Battery Optimization: We may ask to exclude the app from battery restrictions to guarantee timely notifications.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

• Sadaqah Jariyah Entries: Names added by users are stored in our database so other users can see them and pray for them. Users have the right and ability to delete their own entries at any time directly from the app.
• Location Data: We do not keep a history of your location movements.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Service is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

7. Security of Your Data

The security of Your data is important to us. We use standard industry practices and reliable cloud providers (Firebase/Google) to protect your information. However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the data we have about you.
• Request the deletion of your data.
• Withdraw consent for location permissions via your device settings.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
