Privacy Policy for Duatime

Welcome to Duatime. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data we collect. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application. Duatime is designed as an offline-focused tool to assist users with Islamic prayers and daily Dhikr.

We prioritize your privacy by keeping your data on your device. We do not collect or store your personal information on our servers.

• Location Information: To provide accurate prayer times (Salat) and Qibla direction based on your current location, our app requests access to your device's location. This data is used locally to calculate timings using the Adhan library and is not shared or stored externally.
• Local Storage: We use a local SQLite database (via SQLiteAssetHelper) and SharedPreferences to store your Dhikr progress, Tasbih counts, and app settings. This data remains strictly on your device.
• Device Information: We may access basic device details (like OS version and manufacturer) to ensure features like "Auto-start" and "Exact Alarms" function correctly across different Android devices.

To provide a seamless experience, we require the following permissions:

• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): To send you Adhan alerts and daily reminders.
• Exact Alarm (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM & USE_EXACT_ALARM): Required to trigger prayer notifications precisely on time, even when the device is idle.
• Location (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION & ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION): Used to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction specific to your city.
• Battery Optimization (REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS): To ensure the app can trigger alarms even when the device is in power-saving mode.
• Boot Completed (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): To automatically reschedule your prayer alarms after your phone restarts.
• Internet (INTERNET): Used for checking app updates and loading external assets if necessary.

Our app utilizes the following industry-standard libraries to enhance functionality:

• Adhan Library: For precise prayer time calculations.
• Google Play Services Location: For fetching coordinates accurately.
• Glide: For efficient image loading and caching.
• MPAndroidChart: To visualize your Dhikr progress through charts.
• App Update Library: To notify you and facilitate in-app updates for the latest features.
• SQLiteAssetHelper: For managing the pre-loaded Dhikr and Dua database.

Since Duatime is primarily an offline app, your personal progress and settings are stored locally on your device. We do not sell, trade, or share your data with any third parties.

Data Deletion: You have full control over your data. You can delete all your information by clearing the app's storage from your device settings or by uninstalling the application.

Our app does not collect any personal information from children. It is safe for use by people of all ages and does not contain any inappropriate content.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our app or legal requirements. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
