Privacy Policy

We only collect information that the app or the website needs to work, or that helps us understand which features are used. It falls into the following groups.

• Location. When you allow it, the app reads your device’s location to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. The calculation happens on your phone. To show the name of your city, your coordinates are passed to your phone’s built-in location service, which returns a place name. We do not receive or store your coordinates. If you do not allow location, a default city is used instead.
• Usage information. The app records anonymous usage statistics, such as which screens are opened, which surah and reciter are played, which dua categories are viewed, dzikir added to the counter, and search terms typed into in-app search. These are not linked to your name or to any account.
• Device and technical information. Together with usage statistics, standard technical details are recorded: device model, operating system and version, app version, language setting, an approximate country or region derived from your network, and a randomly generated identifier for your app installation.
• Content requests. When you stream a recitation or download a nature sound, your device requests that file from the server that hosts it. Like any internet request, this shares your IP address, device type and the time of the request with that server.
• Information kept on your device. Your preferences, language, last known location, counters and downloaded sounds are stored on your phone only. We cannot see them.

On the website, your chosen language is saved in your browser. If you allow location in the prayer times section, your coordinates are used in your browser to calculate the times and are not sent to us. The website does not use analytics or advertising cookies.

We use the information above to:

• calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction for where you are;
• stream recitations and deliver the nature sounds you choose;
• remember your settings between sessions;
• understand which features are used, so we can decide what to improve;
• find and fix crashes, errors and performance problems;
• keep the app and website secure and prevent misuse.

We do not use your information for advertising, we do not build profiles about you, and we do not make automated decisions that affect you.

We do not sell, rent or trade your information. We only share it in these cases:

• Service providers that help us run Imaan, such as hosting, content delivery and usage statistics. They process information on our behalf, under our instructions, and may not use it for their own purposes.
• Content sources. Recitations and surah data are provided by third-party content services, which receive the standard request information described above when you listen.
• Your device platform. Turning coordinates into a city name is handled by the location service built into your phone’s operating system, under its own privacy terms.
• Legal reasons. When required by law, regulation or a valid legal request, or to protect the rights, safety and property of our users, the public or Imaan.

Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where that happens, we rely on providers that apply appropriate safeguards to protect it.

The website does not set advertising or tracking cookies. It uses your browser’s local storage for one thing: remembering the language you chose. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings.

The app stores your settings and downloaded sounds in its own storage on your device. Clearing the app’s data or uninstalling the app removes them.

You stay in control of what Imaan can access:

• Location. You can allow, limit or turn off location access at any time in your device settings. The app keeps working with a default city.
• Stored data. You can delete everything the app keeps on your phone by clearing its data or uninstalling it.
• Your rights. Depending on where you live, including under Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 27 of 2022), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to object to or restrict certain processing.

Because Imaan has no accounts, we usually cannot link usage statistics to a particular person. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, contact us and we will help as far as we are able to identify the data concerned.

Usage statistics and technical logs are kept only for as long as they are needed for the purposes in this policy, and are then deleted or combined into totals that no longer relate to any single installation. Information stored on your device stays there until you clear it or uninstall the app.

All connections between the app, the website and our servers are encrypted. We limit access to the information we hold and choose service providers that maintain strong security practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and to respond quickly if something goes wrong.

Imaan is suitable for all ages and has no account, chat or sharing features. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Imaan credits and links to the sources of its content. Websites and services run by others have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for how they handle information. We encourage you to read their policies before sharing anything with them.

We may update this policy when Imaan changes or when the law requires it. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed. If a change significantly affects how we handle your information, we will let you know in the app or on this website before it takes effect. Continuing to use Imaan after an update means you accept the revised policy.
