This Privacy Policy explains how Qibla, Prayer time (the “App”), operated by BLUE CUBE TECHNOLOGY (HONG KONG) CO., LIMITED (“we”, “us”), handles information. In short: the App does not collect any personal data.
Your location is used only on your device to calculate the Qibla direction and prayer times. It is never sent to us or stored on any server.
Summary
- No account, registration or login.
- The App collects no personal data, and we do not share or sell any.
- No analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs, and no ads.
- Prayer reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device.
- Your tasbih count and settings are stored only on your device.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect, receive or store any of the following: your name, email address, phone number or other contact details; your precise or approximate location; device identifiers or advertising identifiers; usage data, analytics or crash reports through our own or third-party SDKs; contacts, photos, microphone or camera data. The App does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.
The App does not fetch its own data from our servers; prayer times and the Qibla direction are calculated on your device.
If you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We use it only to reply to you and keep it only as long as needed to handle your request.
Crash reports shared through Apple
If you have chosen in iOS settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may provide us with anonymised crash and performance reports. This is controlled by you in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements and does not include your location.
Device permissions and how they are used
| Permission | Purpose | Where data goes |
|---|---|---|
| Location (While Using the App) | Calculate the Qibla direction, the prayer times for where you are, and the distance and bearing to the Kaaba on the map. | Stays on your device. Not uploaded or stored on any server. |
| Notifications | Remind you of the prayers you choose. | Scheduled locally by iOS on your device. |
Both permissions are optional and can be changed at any time in your iPhone’s Settings. Without location access the App cannot calculate the direction or times for your position; without notification access the App works but cannot remind you.
Third-party services
The map screen uses Apple MapKit, provided by Apple, to display map tiles. When the map is shown, your device requests map content from Apple, and Apple’s handling of that request is governed by Apple’s own privacy policy. We do not receive any of that information. The App contains no other third-party services.
Children’s privacy
The App does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction).
Data retention and deletion
The only data the App keeps is your settings and tasbih count, stored locally on your device. We have no copy. Deleting the App from your iPhone removes this data. Because we hold no personal data, there is nothing for us to export or delete on request, but you are welcome to contact us with any question.
Security
As no personal data leaves your device through the App, it is protected by the security of your iPhone and iOS.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will publish the new version on this page and update the effective date above. If a change would affect how information is handled, we will describe it clearly here before it takes effect.
