Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 23, 2026
Overview
At SalahNow, we value your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. Our app collects only the minimum data necessary to enrich your worship experience.
Collected Data
- •Location information: We use your location to accurately calculate prayer times and qibla direction. Your location data is processed solely for this purpose and is not shared with third parties.
- •User preferences: Your selected calculation method, language, theme and notification settings are stored locally on your device. If you create an account, they are synchronized on our server.
- •Reading progress: Your Quran reading progress (surah, juz, page) is stored on your device. If you create an account, it is backed up on our server.
Location Usage
The app needs your location to calculate prayer times and qibla direction. We do not use your location without your permission. If you do not wish to grant location permission, you can manually select your city. Your location data is never used for advertising or profiling purposes.
Data Storage
The vast majority of your data is stored locally on your device. If you create an account, your preferences and progress are backed up encrypted on our secure servers. Our servers are protected with SSL/TLS.
Third-Party Services
Our app does not use advertising networks or user tracking tools. No third-party analytics services are used. Only astronomical algorithms are used for prayer time calculations, and no data is sent externally.
Notifications
Notifications are only sent when you enable them. You can control notification types such as prayer time reminders, special day notifications and reading reminders from the settings section. We do not send marketing notifications.
Analytics and Tracking
We do not use third-party analytics tools that track user behavior. Only anonymous and aggregate usage statistics (e.g., total user count, most used features) are evaluated to improve service quality.
Children's Privacy
Our app is suitable for all age groups. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.
Your Rights
You have the right to request access to your data, request correction or deletion of your data, object to data processing, and request data portability. To exercise these rights, you can manage your account from the settings section or contact us.
Data Retention Period
Your local data remains on your device until you delete the app. Server-side data is permanently deleted within 30 days if you delete your account. Anonymous statistical data may be retained indefinitely.
Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Our communications are encrypted with SSL/TLS. Data is stored encrypted on the server side. Regular security audits are conducted.
Policy Changes
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through an in-app notification. You can always view the current policy on this page.
