Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 11, 2026

Overview

Nidam · Prayer Times is a privacy-focused, offline-first Islamic prayer times application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how your data is used.

Data Collection

Location Data

  • The app requests access to your device's location to calculate accurate prayer times and Qibla direction for your area.
  • Location data is processed locally on your device for Qibla direction, local calculations, and saved settings. It is only transmitted when fetching prayer times from external APIs or when you use nearby mosque search (see below).
  • Saved location settings are stored locally on your device. Network features send only the approximate coordinates needed for the specific request described below.
  • You can use the app in “Demo Mode” without granting location access.

Compass / Motion Data

  • The app accesses your device's compass and motion sensors solely to determine Qibla direction.
  • This data is processed locally and is never stored or transmitted.

Network Requests

  • The app may send your approximate location (latitude/longitude) to the Aladhan API (api.aladhan.com) to fetch prayer time data. This is used as a fallback when local calculation or cached data is not sufficient.
  • When the Diyanet calculation method is used, the app may contact the Diyanet-compatible prayer-time API (ezanvakti.imsakiyem.com) to resolve and cache official district prayer times.
  • If you use nearby mosque search, the app sends your approximate location, search radius, and language to the TomTom Search API (api.tomtom.com) and the Geoapify Places API (api.geoapify.com) to return nearby mosque results.
  • No personal identifiers are included in these requests.
  • For details on how Aladhan, TomTom, or Geoapify handle data, please refer to their respective privacy policies.

Data Storage

  • App settings and cached prayer times are stored locally on your device using platform app storage.
  • Nearby mosque search results are kept only in short-lived app memory and are not stored as a permanent search history.
  • No data is stored on external servers.
  • No user accounts or registration is required.

Third-Party Services

  • Aladhan API — Used as a fallback source for prayer time calculations. Only approximate location coordinates are sent. No personal identifiers are included.
  • Diyanet-compatible prayer-time API — Used to resolve and cache official Diyanet district prayer times when the Diyanet method is selected.
  • TomTom Search API — Used only when you open nearby mosque search. Approximate location, radius, and language are sent. No personal identifiers are included.
  • Geoapify Places API — Used as an additional source for nearby mosque search. Approximate location, radius, and language are sent. No personal identifiers are included.

Data Sharing

We do not sell or trade your personal data. The app only sends the limited request data described above to services needed for prayer times or nearby mosque search.

Children's Privacy

This app does not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Your Rights

  • You can revoke location permissions at any time through your device settings.
  • You can clear all locally stored data by uninstalling the app.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
