Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 16.09.2025 Last Updated: 07.07.2026

1. Information Collected Our application does not directly collect personal information. However, we use third-party services (Google AdMob and Firebase) that may collect information to improve user experience and application performance. The information that may be collected includes:

• Application usage statistics
• Device and operating system information

1. Location Data Sakina uses your device’s location for two on-device features only: calculating accurate prayer times for your area and determining the direction to the Qibla. This location data:

• Is used exclusively for local, on-device mathematical calculations
• Is never collected, stored, or transmitted to us or to any third party
• Is never linked to your identity or used for advertising, analytics, or tracking

Sakina works fully offline. All app content (adhkar, translations, message cards, etc.) is bundled with the app itself. Location is the only input that comes from your device, and it is used solely to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction on your device in real time. You can grant or revoke location access at any time in your device settings; if access is denied, prayer times and Qibla direction will not be available, but the rest of the app continues to work normally.

1. Information Usage Any information collected by third-party services is used to ensure proper application functionality, detect errors, and improve the advertising experience. We do not have access to or control over this data collection.

2. Third-Party Services

• AdMob: Used to display advertisements and may collect data for ad personalization and performance measurement.
• Firebase: Used for application analytics and error reporting.

These services operate under their own privacy policies:

• Google AdMob Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Firebase Privacy Policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

1. Data Retention We do not retain any personal data as we do not collect it directly. Location data is never retained by us in any form, as it is processed only on-device and discarded immediately after use. Data retention for third-party services is managed according to their own policies.

2. User Rights For questions about data collected by third-party services, please refer to their respective privacy policies. For general inquiries about this privacy policy, contact us at ibrahimozkan314@gmail.com.

3. Policy Updates This privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Continued use of the application constitutes acceptance of any updates.
