Privacy Policy

The short version: Zakerny Bellah has no account. Your settings, favourites, reminder schedule, city and location stay on your phone. We collect usage data through Google Firebase so we can improve the app, and we keep a count of how many times each zikr has been favourited, not who favourited it. If you send feedback, we keep your message and any email you add. Your coordinates are never sent to us. We never sell your data.

1. Who we are

This policy covers the Zakerny Bellah (ذكرني بالله) mobile app and the website zakernybellah.com. Both are published by Hamtaw Inc. (“we”, “us”). If you have a question about your privacy, email us at support@zakernybellah.com.

2. What stays on your device

Most of what the app knows about you is stored only on your phone and is never sent to us: your language, appearance and other settings; the city you choose, or the location the app works out for prayer times; your reminder schedule; and your favourites, counter progress and recent searches. Deleting the app deletes all of this.

3. Location

The app needs to know roughly where you are so it can work out Fajr and Asr and remind you of the morning and evening azkar at the right time. You can pick your city from a list, or tap Use my location. If you choose “Use my location”, the app asks for permission and reads your approximate location on your device to calculate prayer times and find your city. Your coordinates are never sent to us or to anyone else. You can turn off location access at any time in your phone’s settings and pick a city by hand instead.

4. Notifications

Reminders for azkar are scheduled locally on your phone. They don’t need an internet connection and their content is not sent anywhere. To send an occasional announcement (for example, about new azkar or an important update), the app registers with Google Firebase, which gives your device a random push token. We use this token only to deliver those messages. You can turn notifications off at any time in your phone’s settings.

5. Analytics

We use Google Firebase to understand how the app is used. This includes the screens you open, the buttons and controls you use, words typed in search (up to 100 characters), the city and country you choose for prayer times (never your coordinates), device and app details such as app version, device model, operating system and language, an approximate region that Google works out from your IP address, and a random app-instance ID so visits can be counted. This ID is not your name, email or advertising ID.

We do not collect your name, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location, or your email unless you add it to feedback, and the app does not use your device’s advertising identifier or track you across other companies’ apps or websites. Analytics data is not used for advertising. Google processes this data on our behalf under the Firebase privacy and security terms and the Google Privacy Policy, and may store it in the United States and other countries. Analytics event data is kept for no longer than 14 months.

6. Content updates, favourite counts and feedback

The app downloads azkar and app settings (such as update notices) from Google Firebase so content can improve without an app update. These requests carry only the technical information any internet request needs, such as your IP address.

We store a favourite count for each zikr so the app can show how many people have liked it. This is only a number: we do not store your favourites list on our servers, and the count is not tied to your name or to an account.

Feedback: if you send feedback from the app, we store your message with the app version, language and theme and, unless you untick “Include device info”, your device model, system version and app-instance ID. Your email is optional and used only to reply to you.

We don’t sell, rent or trade your personal information. The only service provider that receives app data is Google (Firebase), which provides analytics, push messaging, content delivery, favourite counts and feedback storage for us. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

Purchases: the current version of the app has no in-app purchases. Earlier versions offered optional tips through Apple. Apple processed those payments and we never received payment details.

8. Children

Zakerny Bellah is suitable for all ages, but it is not directed at children under 13 and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. The app has no account, chat or sign-up. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

9. Your choices and rights

Notifications: turn reminders off in the app, or turn notifications off in your phone’s settings.
Location: turn location access off in your phone’s settings and choose a city instead.
Delete your data: deleting the app removes everything stored on your phone. Analytics data isn’t linked to your identity, but if you would like us to delete analytics data or feedback you sent, or have any other privacy request, email support@zakernybellah.com and we will help where we can identify the data.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your personal data, or to object to how it is used. Email us to make a request; we will not discriminate against you for doing so.

10. Security

Data travels to Firebase over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we keep what we collect to a minimum.

11. This website

zakernybellah.com does not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers, and its fonts are served from this site. It is hosted on Cloudflare, which may process basic request logs, such as IP addresses, to deliver and protect the site.

12. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update it on this page and change the effective date above. If a change is significant, we will also mention it in the app.
