Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 November 2026

Fajro is operated by Irfan Ullah (“Fajro”, “we”, “us”). This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It covers the Fajro Android app and the website at fajro.app.

1. The short version

• Fajro has no ads and no third-party analytics.
• Prayer times, Qibla, azkar, duas, the tracker and tasbeeh work without an account.
• An account is needed only for premium purchases, cloud sync and groups.
• Location is used on your device for prayer times and Qibla. It is stored on our server only if you sign in and enable cloud sync.
• You can request deletion of your account and data at any time.

2. Information we collect

Account information

• Email address — used to create and sign in to your account.
• Password — stored only as a bcrypt hash; we never store the plain password.
• Account ID — generated by our server.
• Display name — defaults to the part of your email before “@”. Used in groups and leaderboards.
• Session token — stored on your device to keep you signed in.

Data you choose to sync (Premium)

If you sign in and cloud sync is enabled, we store the settings and progress needed to restore your app on another device:

• Theme, app language and translation language
• Calculation method, Asr method and 24-hour preference
• Compass style, rose style, Qibla feedback and dhikr targets
• Tracker progress and history, azkar and dua completion
• Notification preferences
• City, country and coordinates (latitude/longitude)

Groups and leaderboards

If you join a group, we store the group name, invite code, your membership, your display name and a score derived from your daily progress. Groups are private and invite-only. Your location is never shown to other members.

Subscriptions

Premium purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. We receive the product ID, purchase token, subscription status and expiry date so we can verify your entitlement. We do not receive or store your card details.

Location

With your permission, the app uses your device location to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. If you sign in and enable cloud sync, your coordinates, city and country are stored on our server so they can be restored on another device. The Qibla map loads tiles from OpenStreetMap; those requests include your IP address and the map area you view.

Server logs

Our server keeps standard technical logs (IP address, user agent, timestamps and requested endpoints) for security, abuse prevention and diagnostics. Logs are kept for up to 30 days.

What we do not collect

We do not use advertising SDKs, third-party analytics, crash-reporting SDKs, or sell personal data. We do not collect contacts, photos, files, messages, audio recordings or calendar data.

3. How we use information

• Provide prayer times, Qibla, azkar, duas, tracker and tasbeeh
• Create and secure your account
• Sync your settings and progress across devices
• Operate groups and leaderboards
• Verify and manage premium subscriptions
• Protect the service, prevent abuse and troubleshoot problems
• Respond to support and deletion requests

4. Sharing

• Google Play Billing — processes purchases and provides subscription status.
• OpenStreetMap — serves map tiles for the Qibla map. Your IP address and the requested map area are sent to the tile servers.
• Hetzner (EU) — hosts our API and PostgreSQL database as a data processor.
• Cloudflare — provides DNS. If the proxy is enabled, requests also pass through Cloudflare.

We do not sell personal data. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of users.

5. Security

API traffic uses HTTPS/TLS. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Access to the server and database is restricted. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Retention

Account and synced data are kept until you delete your account or ask us to delete it. Server logs are kept for up to 30 days. Local data remains on your device until you clear the app data or uninstall the app.

7. Your rights and deletion

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, or to object to certain processing. To delete your account and synced data, visit fajro.app/delete-account.html or email privacy@fajro.app from your account address. We aim to complete deletion requests within 30 days.

We may retain limited purchase records where required for accounting, tax or legal obligations. Cancelling a subscription is done separately in the Google Play Store.

8. Children

Fajro is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International transfers

Our server is located in the European Union. Google, OpenStreetMap and Cloudflare may process data in other countries under their own safeguards.

10. Changes

We may update this policy as the app changes. We will update the date above and, for material changes, provide notice in the app or on this page.
