Privacy Policy

Dewsbury Salaah Times

Last updated: 14 March 2026

Summary: Dewsbury Salaah Times does not collect, store, or share any personal information. The app does not use analytics, tracking, or advertising. All user preferences are stored locally on your device only.

1. Introduction

Dewsbury Salaah Times ("the App") is a free Islamic prayer times application available on iOS and Android. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. The App is designed to function with minimal data collection, and we do not collect any personally identifiable information.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be transparent about what we do not do:

3. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The App stores the following preferences locally on your device to provide its core functionality. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to us or any third party.

Data Purpose Storage
Selected mosque To display prayer times for your chosen mosque Device only
Notification preferences Which prayers to receive reminders for, reminder timing, and notification type Device only
Display settings Font size preference for accessibility Device only
Prayer tracking If enabled, records which prayers you have marked as prayed (date and prayer name only) Device only
Cached prayer data Temporarily cached API responses (prayer times, mosque list) to reduce network usage. Automatically expires after 24 hours. Device only

4. Network Requests

The App connects to our servers to retrieve prayer timetable data. These requests are made over HTTPS (encrypted) and contain only:

No personal information, device identifiers, or tracking data is included in these requests. Our servers do not log or store information that could identify individual users.

5. Location Data

The App requests location permission only for the Qibla compass feature, which calculates the direction of the Qibla from your current position.

Important: Your location data is processed entirely on your device. It is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. Location access is optional — the App functions fully without it (a default location is used for the Qibla feature if permission is not granted).

6. Notifications

If you enable prayer reminders, the App schedules local notifications on your device. These notifications are managed entirely by your device's operating system. No notification data is sent to external servers, and no push notification services (such as Firebase Cloud Messaging or Apple Push Notification Service) are used.

7. Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, social media, or tracking services. The only third-party code used consists of standard open-source libraries for networking (Retrofit/OkHttp on Android) and UI rendering, none of which collect user data.

8. Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in relevant jurisdictions). Since the App collects no personal data at all, it is safe for use by people of all ages.

9. Data Sharing

We do not share any data with third parties because we do not collect any data. The App includes share functionality that allows you to voluntarily share prayer times via your device's built-in sharing options (e.g. WhatsApp, SMS, email). This sharing is initiated and controlled entirely by you.

10. Data Retention

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

11. Data Security

All network communication uses HTTPS encryption. On Android, cleartext (unencrypted) traffic is explicitly disabled. All data stored on your device is protected by your device's built-in security (screen lock, encryption).

12. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal data, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete on our end. You can manage all locally stored data by:

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
