Istighfar is designed so that we could not spy on you even if we wanted to. There is nothing to log in to, and your remembrance stays on your phone.
What we collect
Nothing that identifies you. The app has no account system, no sign-up, and no login. We do not ask for your name, email, or phone number to use the app.
What stays on your device
All of it is stored locally. If you delete the app, this data is removed with it. We keep no copy.
Analytics & tracking
We do not use advertising SDKs, third-party trackers, or profiling. We do not sell or share data, because we do not collect it in the first place. There are no cookies used to follow you.
Location & prayer times (optional)
If you turn on prayer-time reminders, or tap to set your location, the app asks for your device's location permission. Your coordinates are used only on your device, to calculate the prayer times for where you are.
Your location is never sent anywhere, never stored by us, and never shared — the app makes no network requests at all. The last known coordinates stay on your phone so prayer times keep working offline. The app works fully without the permission: it simply shows the clock and skips the prayer-specific times. You can revoke it at any time in your system settings.
Notifications
If you turn on reminders (such as the optional Friday salawat, or prayer-time reminders), notifications are scheduled on your device. Enabling them uses your system’s standard permission and can be revoked anytime in your device settings.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, we will update the date above and note meaningful changes in the app. Since we collect nothing, changes will be rare.
