سياسة الخصوصية

1 Introduction

Al-Taqwaa (التقوى) is a free, open-source Islamic application focused on the Quran, adhkar (remembrances), prayer times, and more. Privacy isn't an afterthought — it is the core of the design.

2 Who We Are

Developed by Rayan Almalki, distributed under the open-source GPL-3.0 license. The full source code is available at: github.com/rn0x/altaqwaa-android

3 Information We Collect

We collect no personal information. The app:

• Does not require an account or sign-in.
• Sends no data to our servers (we have none).
• Uses no analytics or advertising tracking.
• Shows no ads at all.

All content — Quran, tafsir, adhkar, fatwas, khutbahs, your settings, and quiz progress — is stored locally on your device only.

4 When Is the Internet Used?

Most features work offline. The internet is used only when you explicitly request it, such as:

• Streaming Al-Taqwaa Radio (live Quran channels).
• Downloading additional audio, fatwas, or khutbahs (PDF & Word files).
• Streaming reciters when you choose to listen over the network.

We never use the internet to read or upload data from your device.

5 Permissions Used

Limited, clearly explained permissions are requested, each with a real purpose:

• Location: Used only to compute prayer times and Qibla direction for your location. Never transmitted or stored.
• Notifications: Used only for adhan (prayer) reminders if you enable them.
• Internet: Used only for the features listed in Section 4.
• Vibrate: Used for the adhan alert in silent mode.

You may grant or revoke any permission from your device settings at any time; core features work without them.

6 Third-Party Data Sharing

Since we collect nothing, there is nothing to share with third parties. The app is distributed through Google Play and GitHub Releases, whose privacy policies govern their platforms.

7 Data Storage & Security

Your data (settings, times, adhkar and quiz progress) is stored in your device's local storage and never leaves it. There are no servers holding your information, so your data's security is your device's security.

8 Deleting Your Data

To delete all your data at any time, simply uninstall the app — everything is permanently removed, as we hold no copy on our side. (You may also clear app data in Android settings and start fresh.)

9 Children's Privacy

The app is suitable for all ages. We collect no personal data from any user, including children, and never ask children to provide any information.

10 Changes to This Policy

If our data handling ever changes, this page will be updated with a prominent "Last Updated" date. Any new feature will be evaluated against this policy before release.
