Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 23, 2026
Last updated: August 23, 2026

Your privacy matters to us. IHSAYA is designed to provide Quran, prayer, Qibla, reminders and everyday Islamic guidance while collecting only information reasonably necessary to operate, maintain and improve the application.

1. About IHSAYA

IHSAYA is an Islamic companion application providing features including Quran content, translations, prayer-related features, Qibla direction, reminders, bookmarks, daily guidance and multilingual content.

This Privacy Policy explains how IHSAYA accesses, processes, stores and shares information when you use the IHSAYA mobile application and related services.

2. Information We Process

2.1 App Usage and Analytics Information

IHSAYA uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the application is used and to improve reliability and user experience.

This may include information such as:

We use this information primarily to understand application usage, identify problems and improve features. We do not use Firebase Analytics to intentionally collect names, passwords, Quran notes containing personal information, financial information or private communications.

2.2 Location Information

Some IHSAYA features may request access to your device location, when you grant permission, for location-dependent functionality such as prayer times and Qibla direction.

IHSAYA does not use precise location information for sale or unrelated advertising purposes, and we do not intentionally maintain a history of your precise GPS location on IHSAYA-operated servers.

You may deny or revoke location permission through your device settings. Some location-dependent features may not work correctly without this permission.

2.3 Notification Information

IHSAYA may request permission to send notifications for features such as prayer reminders, Quran reminders and other user-selected guidance.

Notification preferences and scheduling information may be stored locally on your device so that reminders can operate correctly. You can disable notifications at any time using IHSAYA settings or your Android device settings.

2.4 Information Stored on Your Device

IHSAYA may store application information locally on your device, including:

This information is primarily used to provide faster loading, offline functionality and personalized application preferences.

3. Third-Party Services

IHSAYA relies on certain third-party services to provide application functionality.

Google Firebase

We use Google Firebase services, including Firebase Analytics, for application analytics and operational insights.

Google's processing of information through these services is governed by Google's applicable privacy and Firebase terms.

Quran Content Providers

IHSAYA may retrieve Quran text and translation content from third-party Quran services, including services such as AlQuran Cloud and QuranEnc.

When your device communicates with an external service, standard network information such as your IP address may necessarily be processed by that service in order to respond to the request.

IHSAYA does not control the independent privacy practices of third-party service providers. Users are encouraged to review the privacy information provided by those services where applicable.

4. How We Use Information

Information processed through IHSAYA may be used to:

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

Information may be processed by third-party technology providers only where necessary to provide, operate, analyze or secure IHSAYA, including services such as Google Firebase and content/API providers described above.

We may also disclose information where required by applicable law, legal process or a valid governmental request.

6. Data Retention

Information stored locally by IHSAYA generally remains on your device until it is removed through application functionality, application data is cleared, or the application is uninstalled.

Analytics information processed through Firebase is retained according to the analytics configuration used by IHSAYA and the applicable retention practices of Google Firebase.

We aim to retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including operational, security and legal requirements.

7. Data Deletion

IHSAYA currently does not require users to create a personal account for its core application functionality.

You can remove locally stored application information by clearing the application's data through your device settings or by uninstalling IHSAYA.

If you believe IHSAYA holds information relating to you and you would like to request access, correction or deletion, please contact us at:

[email protected]

We will review legitimate requests and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law and the nature of the information involved.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information associated with IHSAYA.

Network communications with supported online services are intended to use secure HTTPS connections where available. However, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Children's Privacy

IHSAYA is designed to provide peaceful and educational Islamic content that may be used by individuals and families.

The application does not currently require account registration and does not intentionally request children to provide names, addresses, phone numbers or similar personal information through account creation.

Parents and guardians should supervise children's use of mobile applications where appropriate.

10. Your Choices

You can control many aspects of data processing through your device:

11. International Users

IHSAYA may be used in multiple countries. Third-party technology providers may process information in countries other than the country in which you live, subject to their applicable privacy safeguards and legal obligations.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when IHSAYA features, third-party services, legal requirements or privacy practices change.

When material changes are made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.

13. Website-Specific Information

This Privacy Policy also covers the IHSAYA website (ihsaya.com), in addition to the mobile application described above. Where a website feature works differently from the application, this section explains it.

13.1 Information Stored in Your Browser

The website stores a small amount of information in your browser's local storage, specifically your language preference (for example, English or Tamil), so the site can remember your choice as you navigate between pages. This is not used to identify you personally and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

13.2 Browser Language

Some pages may take your browser's requested language into account to help present the correct language version of a page. This does not create a separate tracking profile beyond serving that page.

13.3 Prayer-Time Requests

Prayer-time pages request calculated prayer times from the Aladhan API for the city or coordinates relevant to the page you are viewing. As with any web request to a third-party service, standard network information such as your IP address may necessarily be processed by that service in order to respond.

13.4 Website Analytics

The website does not currently run a separate website analytics service. If website analytics is added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe it before it is enabled.

13.5 Other Third-Party Requests

Loading a page may cause your browser to request fonts, images, stylesheets or scripts from services we operate or from the third-party content providers described elsewhere in this Policy. Each such request is subject to standard web request information such as IP address, handled by the service responding to it.

13.6 Advertising (Not Currently Active)

The website does not currently display advertising. If advertising is introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy and any required consent mechanism will be updated, and any applicable consent will be requested, before advertising is enabled.

13.7 Cookies

The website does not currently set tracking or advertising cookies. If that changes, this Policy will be updated to describe the cookies used and, where required, request consent before they are set.
