Privacy Policy

If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may give you the option to hide your email. In that case we receive a private relay address instead of your personal email. We treat relay addresses the same way as any other account email.

If you use Google Sign-In, we receive the information Google shares with us according to your Google account settings and the permissions you approve, typically including your email address, name, and profile picture.

If you use email sign-in, we send a one-time magic link to the address you enter. We do not ask for or store a password in the App.

When you are signed in, our servers may record:

• A unique account identifier
• Your sign-in method or methods (Apple, Google, or email)
• When your account was created and when you last signed in
• Technical information needed to keep your session secure

We maintain an email registry on our servers that associates your email address with your account while the account exists. This helps us manage accounts, prevent misuse, and keep authentication reliable. We update it when you sign in or when your account email changes. We delete registry entries when you delete your account.

For Sign in with Apple, we may store an Apple refresh token on our servers so we can revoke Apple's authorization when you delete your account, as Apple requires. That token is used only for authentication lifecycle management, not to access unrelated Apple data.

The following information is stored locally on your iPhone and is not uploaded to our servers as part of normal App operation:

• Prayer calculation preferences (method, madhab, time format, and related settings)
• Theme and appearance preferences
• Your chosen location for prayer times and Qibla (GPS coordinates or manually selected city)
• Notification settings and scheduled local alerts
• Onboarding and in-app preference state
• Your Screen Time / app-blocking selections (stored as Apple's opaque Family Activity tokens; we cannot read the names of apps you block)
• Daily verse notification preferences
• Local counters used for optional App Store review prompts
• Photos taken for Verify Wudu, which are processed on your device by on-device machine learning and are not uploaded to us

Prayer times and Qibla direction are calculated on your device from your stored location and standard astronomical and magnetic models.

The App may ask for optional iOS permissions. You can decline or later revoke them in iOS Settings. Core App features remain available without sign-in, and most features remain available without granting every permission.

We do not access your microphone through the App.

We do not intentionally collect:

• Contacts, calendars, photos library contents, or browsing history
• Health or medical records
• Payment card or billing information (the App is free and has no in-app purchases)
• A list of other apps installed on your device
• Audio recordings
• Third-party product analytics, usage tracking, or advertising identifiers collected through analytics SDKs in the App

When you visit better-prayer.com, we use Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to understand how the website is used. Google may collect:

• Pages viewed and in-site navigation
• Approximate location derived from IP address
• Device, browser, and referral information
• Cookie-based client identifiers stored in your browser

We use this to understand site traffic and improve the website. We do not use this data for third-party advertising. Google processes this information under Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

We use trusted providers who process information on our behalf to run the Services:

We require service providers to handle information only for the purposes we specify and to protect it appropriately. Their own privacy policies also apply when their services interact directly with you.

If you use the iOS share sheet or copy content to your clipboard, you choose where that information goes. We do not control third-party apps or services you share to.

We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to:

• comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or valid government request
• enforce our Terms of Service
• protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or others
• detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information where required by law.

• Delete your account: Settings → Account → Delete Account in the App
• Sign out: Settings → Account → Sign Out
• Revoke permissions: iOS Settings → Better Prayer
• Website analytics: use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or email help@better-prayer.com
• Other requests: email help@better-prayer.com

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. If you use Sign in with Apple, deleting your account may require an additional Apple confirmation step.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights where prohibited by law.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), we provide this notice:

Categories of personal information we collect: identifiers (such as email, account ID, and website analytics cookie identifiers), internet or other electronic network activity (website page views and navigation), and customer records (account profile information).

Sources: you, your device, your authentication provider, and website analytics (Google Analytics).

Business purposes: providing the Services and security as described in this policy.

We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

You have the right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to limit use of sensitive personal information where applicable. Because we do not sell personal information, there is no opt-out of sale. Submit requests to help@better-prayer.com.

You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve your concern.
